To briefly paraphrase Hans Gruber: when Prince Harry saw the breadth of his Netflix deal, he wept for there were no more family members to slag off.
In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan signed a $100m deal with Netflix to produce – as they put it – “content that informs but also gives hope” utilising “powerful storytelling” through a “truthful and relatable lens”. What this meant in practice was that they made one reality show about how hard they had it, and then they stuttered. The Harry & Meghan show was followed by two forgettable documentaries, one about the Invictus Games and one about some nebulous concept of leadership. At some point in the future there will be a Meghan cookery show that Netflix seems reluctant to show. But before that comes Polo, a show about polo made by Prince Harry, who likes polo.
