The five-part documentary titled &#8220;Polo&#8221; is set to premiere in December, but the Mail reports that it may not meet Netflix&#8217;s expectations. Harry plays a minor role in the series, which focuses on Nacho Figueras\u2014a well-known figure in polo circles but largely unknown outside them.<\/p>\n<p>According to unnamed sources cited by the Mail, Netflix was hoping for a more compelling return on its investment. A Hollywood producer commented that viewers are looking for personal stories and noted that aside from their initial documentary about leaving royal life, other projects have been lackluster. The producer expressed disappointment that viewers tuning into a polo show featuring Prince Harry would expect him to be front and center.<\/p>\n<p>The source further stated that without Harry&#8217;s prominent involvement, interest might wane since polo isn&#8217;t widely popular. They suggested this could impact Netflix&#8217;s willingness to continue working with the Sussexes after their contract expires next year; they need a significant success soon.<\/p>\n<p>Another insider remarked that &#8220;Polo&#8221; misses its mark by not featuring enough royalty for a sport associated with kings\u2014it&#8217;s more about Nacho than Harry. Additionally, they pointed out language barriers could hinder viewership appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this setback, Meghan has plans for a cooking and lifestyle show scheduled for 2025 according to Sky News Australia; details about it remain undisclosed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2348313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harry-and-Meghan.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[40905,36251,5158,33095,36191],"class_list":["post-2348312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-duchess-meghan","tag-entertainment-news","tag-netflix","tag-prince-harry","tag-royal-family"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harry-and-Meghan.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2348312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2348312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2348312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2348313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2348312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2348312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2348312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
