Having dominated the headlines since they got together, 2024 was something of a fallow year for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. There were no bombshell interviews, no podcasts, and no children’s books.
The $100 million deal between Netflix and Archewell, Harry and Meghan’s production company, bore little fruit. Nothing was released until December, when a five-part documentary about Polo landed with a dull thud. The series about Harry’s favourite sport was described variously by critics as “tedious”, “unintentionally hilarious”, and “a load of old tosh” and is currently rated 2.9/10 on IMDb.
