Meghan Markle’s latest venture may be on the backburner.
After Prince Harry, 43, and her husband Prince Harry, 40, signed a $100 million deal with Netflix, the pair unveiled their latest project “Polo.”
The five-part documentary series follows the lives of elite equestrian players – on and off the field – but many viewers were left unimpressed.
After reports surfaced that Markle will launch her own netflix show Focused on “cooking, gardening and entertaining” in “early 2025” page sixSo the series may be in danger
A release date has yet to be announced for the show — which was originally scheduled for 2024 to complement American Riviera Orchard, the lifestyle brand created by Markle.
A Netflix insider told daily Mail Said on Tuesday that the Duchess of Sussex’s cooking show may never succeed, while others claimed it could If It promotes her lifestyle brand.
The source told the outlet it would be “make or break” for Markle and Harry, who have ambitions of building a TV empire.
However, after “Polo”, the insider revealed: “There will be no more deal. Maybe a one-off but that’s it.”
Markle was reportedly absent from the surprise 70th birthday party hosted by Oprah Winfrey for their mutual friend Gayle King over the weekend, with the source alleging that her absence was intentional.
The source added, “A-listers are now actively staying away from him and the events he’s apparently going to attend.” “One told me ‘They don’t feel good to be around.'”
Earlier this month, “Polo” received disappointing reviews from critics, who expected more from the show and the duo.
The Duke of Sussex and Markle served as executive producers on the series, with Harry having a special connection to the game as he has been playing since childhood.
Now, many critics claim that the delivery of the finished product appears to have fallen short.
“Polo” received an average of two out of five stars across the board from several outlets, who termed the project as “boring” and “tedious”.
One review said, “‘Polo’ makes for a fairly boring look at a game in which very few people outside the elite have any particular interest.”
Critic Joel Keller said, “It was hard to connect with the first episode, as it presents a world that is not only not very relevant to most people, but is also boring to begin with.”
However, the review states that the series is a good watch for those who want to become familiar with the games.
Harry has only been seen a few times in the series, including a brief appearance in the opening credits and again during the fourth episode – when he packs on the PDA with Markle.
elsewhere, Patron also gave “Polo” two stars, and called the entertainment “the stupidest, most disgusting game known to mankind” and “the playground of the rich.”
“It seems that ‘Polo’ will fall through submenus into obscurity at the speed of light. And rightly so,” wrote critic Stuart Heritage.
“It’s cheesy and niche, and feels like a spoof documentary designed to play on the screen in the background of an episode of ‘Succession’.”
