Prince Harry has allegedly 'erased' traces of the Royal Family in a major public move.

Netflix's new documentary, Polo, which lists both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as executive producers, hit the streamer on Tuesday (10 December).

While the five-parter only actually features Harry and Meghan Markle a few times throughout it, it's not stopped people rushing to hit out at the pair's appearances in the doc nonetheless.

Royal reporter Sarah Louise Robertson claimed the series 'erased the royal family' on GB News.

Host Andrew Pierce shared his beliefs there was also a very notable absence in the docu-series - none other than Harry's older brother, Prince William.

"There's a big gap in this because of course, polo is the favourite sport of Prince William and he isn't appearing in the documentary because he's not speaking to his brother," Pierce declared.

"I mean, you can't do a polo documentary, frankly about Prince Harry if you don't include the British Royal Family in it because they've been playing polo for decades."

Agreeing with Pierce's sentiments, Sarah then chimed in: "There is no mention of them whatsoever. It's almost like Harry's just erased how he got into the game in this."

She added: "It's like he's just eliminated that history."

Sarah also pointed out that the Duke barely featured in the show, saying: "If Harry fans are expecting to see another Heart of the Invictus or their first Netflix documentary where he's taking a starring role, they will sadly be disappointed."

Giving it a less than impressive rating, The Guardian predicted that Polo would 'fall through the submenus into obscurity at the speed of light', while The Telegraph said there's 'not enough of the Sussexes' in the series 'to make this anything other than a dull indulgence about a rich person’s pursuit'.

Polo is Harry and Meghan's fourth project with Netflix with previous releases including the aforementioned Heart Of Invictus (2023) as well as Live To Lead (2022) and their Harry & Meghan series which sparked quite the controversy when it first hit our screens in 2022.

Speaking of the series, Harry said via Tudum: "This series offers audiences an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into the passion and determination driving some of the world’s elite polo players, revealing the grit behind the glamour.

"We’re proud to showcase the true depth and spirit of the sport - and the intensity of its high-stakes moments."
