Netflix recently shut down all projects related to Prince Harry following allegations of his cruelty towards horses during polo matches. The streaming platform had initially planned a documentary series centered on the world of professional polo, with Harry playing a significant role. However, after unsettling reports surfaced involving mistreatment of animals, Netflix decided to cancel the series and other collaborations with the Duke of Sussex. This turn of events marks another setback in Prince Harry’s public endeavors, already strained by previous controversies surrounding his media ventures.
Despite earlier excitement surrounding Harry’s polo documentary, which was set to explore the sport’s behind-the-scenes dynamics, Netflix quickly distanced itself after evidence of misconduct emerged. The platform confirmed that production was halted indefinitely, underscoring the seriousness of the accusations. Prior to the allegations, the series had been expected to premiere later this year, as Harry and his wife Meghan Markle continued seeking media success after their highly-publicized departure from royal duties.
