The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has revealed a very surprising skill during Prince Harry's new docuseries, Polo.
The Netflix series, which documents the equestrian sport that Prince Harry has a penchant for, is comprised of five episodes.
Polo is the latest offering from the Sussexes, who signed a deal with the streaming service worth $100m, to bring about 'powerful storytelling' that 'informs but also gives hope'.
The documentary aired yesterday, 10 December, and as well as exploring the sport of Polo as well as the lives of those who love it, exposed a hidden talent of Meghan's.

A scene saw Meghan meeting the legendary Argentinian polo player Adolfo Cambiaso, who was playing on Harry's team.
Cambiaso approached Meghan with a handshake, but she opted for a hug, and Harry simply couldn't resist gushing: "She's fluent in Spanish."
49-year-old Cambiaso asked: "Really?" in Spanish, and the two then had a conversation in the language.
Meghan explained: "I lived there about 20 years ago. In Palermo Viejo. Las Canitas too."
Cambiaso responded: "That’s great. That’s where the polo fields were," prompting Meghan to share that she love 'the 25th of May,' Argentina's national day.
Cambiaso then asked Harry: "Do you speak Spanish?" which prompted a laugh from Meghan as she responded: "Yes."
"He knows I don't!" Prince Harry protested, before clarifying, "Well, yes... a little, a little."
According to People, Spanish is 'a language [Meghan] honed during her internship in Argentina and while studying abroad in Madrid, Spain'.
"Meghan spoke Spanish during her trip to Colombia with Prince Harry in August, where the Duke of Sussex followed his wife's lead and also leaned into speaking Spanish."
Executive producer and showrunner Miloš Balać told the outlet it was 'wonderful' to work with Meghan and Harry on Polo.
He said: "Working with them was definitely special. I think they were amazing collaborators that brought so much energy and passion to the project as a whole. Polo is one of Prince Harry's greatest passions. It seems that Meghan has adopted it as one of hers too, just in terms of being his partner.
"She also loves the sport, and it was really fun to talk to her about what she loves about [it]."
He concluded: "And Harry comes at it from the athlete perspective, so it was great to have both of those perspectives to help inform how I would go about sharing this world."
