Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Slammed For ‘Tacky And Cringey’ New Trailer For Netflix Show ‘Polo’

A past acquaintance of the Duke of Sussex, who shared the polo field with him during their teenage years, said to the publication: "It’s hilarious, but not in a good way. It’s so tacky and cringey, it is literally all the worst things about polo. I watched it in appalled hysterics."

Another insider linked to the Spare author dished: "The irony is that polo is actually a surprisingly inclusive sport these days. You do see plenty of rich kids but there are also plenty of kids from less rarefied backgrounds who just happen to be fantastic riders who are sponsored by the teams. It doesn’t look like this show is going to foreground that, which is a real missed opportunity."  

Another senior Hollywood executive told The Daily Beast: "This looks like it has failed to capture the imagination. They still have Meghan’s cooking show to screen next year but there is very little tolerance for pissing money away these days. It’s debatable whether anyone cares about these two if they are not serving up outrageous stories about the royals."

The tipster went on: "They are running out of last chances to prove that isn’t so. If they can’t, they could try to monetize their fame on social media. Plenty of people would still give Harry a million bucks for a post." Polo makes its worldwide debut on Netflix on December 10th.
