Royal expert slams Prince Harry and Meghan Markle documentary for brutal reason

Royal expert slams Prince Harry and Meghan Markle documentary for brutal reason

A royal commentator said he was 'angry' after watching the new documentary

A royal expert has claimed 'few will watch' Prince Harry's new Netflix documentary for one brutal reason.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aren't strangers to Netflix, having released their six-part series in 2022.

The series - which shared an insight into their lives following their departure from royal duties - was a hit with fans.

But one royal expert has noted that the same cannot be said for Prince Harry's most recent creation.

A new series landed on the streaming service on December 10, but only a 'few' people interested in a niche sport are set to find it an intriguing watch.

And despite Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, being named as the executive producers of the programme, they feature very little.

The five-part series, which is called Polo, takes a look at the horseback sport as it follows a handful of players.

In the form of event footage, interviews with high-profile players and behind-the-scenes peaks into the luxurious social life that accompanies the sport of polo.

But royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said: "I’m angry that I’ve had to spend so much time watching this non-event.

"Where is the appeal for this 5-parter on Polo, an elitist sport?"

The expert went as far as to say 'few would watch' the new series.

Adding: "It’s really dull if you aren’t into the game."

And some fans will be glad to learn that the Royal Family weren't mentioned at all throughout the entirety of all episodes.

However, some argued that given the long history of the family with polo, it was a strange move to leave them unmentioned.

I guess the Sussex's just really cannot win.

GB News host Andrew Pierce explained: "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.

"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."

An interesting take.

But he wasn't the only one to note this detail, as Royal reporter Sarah Louise Robertson then commented: "It's almost like Harry's just erased how he got into the game in this."

Rumour has it that Meghan will release another show on the platform soon, which is in connection with her newly launched lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
