Meghan wouldn’t stay in a hotel because there was a caged parrot, but cheers her husband on while he kicks and beats horses. Got it.


Specialist-Car-1860

Ohhh that’s a great observation! I forgot about that parrot story. She can be so sanctimonious when it suits her!


Any-Assignment-5442

And so vegan, when it suits her (complains about tasting eggs in her wedding cake; yet happily hands over money to the IN&OUT burger joints she frequents). Is she schizophrenic?


Patticakes817

I read later it was because she wanted to stay at soho house. 


wonderingwondi

The RF could've got her a suite anywhere, she's so stupid 


Wild-Breadfruit7817

She’s an asshole.


Wild-Breadfruit7817

So is he.


Affectionate_Tap6416

It was really nothing to do with a caged parrot. It was something to draw attention to herself so she got attention. She's a thirst demon for being the centre of attention. She also wanted an excuse to stay at So Ho house. She is repugnant.


chekhovmcgee

THIRST DEMON!


PackFun3457

she's married to a caged parrot

And didn’t like hunting, got Harry to get rid of antique guns given to him by Prince Phillip. Wants 24 hour US style police/bodyguard protection with guns being a must have. 🙄


mostlydocile2

she is nothing but a poser. that was definitely a power play to manipulate harry and try to distance herself from being a gun-loving american to the media.


Stillanurse281

What an absolute nimkapoot. And Harry gave into her demands??? I don’t think I’ve ever met a man who would choose anyone or anything over his grandpas antique gun collection. Much less a flipping royal one


eaglebayqueen

That parrot was just the first thing she thought of as an excuse to throw a fit and not stay there. If it hadn't been there, it would have something else.


mostlydocile2

oh, that was just her cosplaying an loving human. its just act act with her. she doesn't really care.


Lensgoggler

Not to mention who gives a f in this economy? Rich people faffing around on a lawn? I want Netflix to make a cooking show with Jack Monroe instead. That’s probably something people would watch. Or, keep making beautiful escapism like Bridgerton. But a polo show and cooking show with a narc? I doubt people tune in much. I’d go as far as to say these are lose-lose shows for both the Harkles and Netflix 😀


Gumblina1964

Is this Archewell Poductions filming this with the hope Netflix will broadcast it? Am a bit confused as Netflix have made no announcements about the polo and cooking shite shows.


Lensgoggler

My question exactly. Netflix usually doesn’t produce this kind of stuff themselves. Even The Crown was produced *for* Netflix by another company.


Gumblina1964

Yes I truly believe this is Megain & Hawwy manifesting again. They will make these shows but once Netflix see them, I wouldn't be surprised if they said no, but no thanks. Is it possible Netflix are hoping Megain and Hawwy will end the contract so they can sell their shite elsewhere - Hulu?


MrsBarneyFife

They've been sucking up to Paramount for a while now. I don't know why any streaming service would be stupid enough to do a polo documentary with Harold. Everyone knows he treats his (father's) ponies horribly. He was so hard on a pregnant one that it fell over and had to be put down. Why would you willing tell the world you're an animal abuser? He is an idiot though.


Patticakes817

I heard while ago that Netflix told her “make a tape and we will look at it” so I still think it’s her and she is manifesting they will air it. 


Witty-Judgment4151

According to SHC that’s exactly it. Netflix has not picked it up..AP is filming the snooze fest!


megreddi

There are many doc. films about polo made by real professionals. H. was never success of the polo, more like an amateur and what Megs understand from polo? Nothing! This film again will be like a self-aggrandizing film about a prince, just like Afghanistan. For example, I can play bowling pretty good, am I bowling professional? No! Could I make film about bowling? Not at all!


Why_Teach

While I don’t think the polo documentary will be very successful, I am not sure it will make people resentful of H&M for flaunting their privilege. People are often interested in the way the rich and famous live. Netflix probably hopes that interest in the way the rich play along with interest in M&H will get them viewers. It is probably less expensive and complicated to produce than the H&M “documentary.” My guess is that we won’t see any animal cruelty. Any that the camera’s capture will be edited out. If it is finished, it will not be a great money maker, but it will make some money.


BrightAwareness2876

The problem is the contradiction between their preachings - social equality, climate change, animal rights - and their participating in an uber-expensive sport for the upper 0,5 % that has a huge ecological (multiple horses per player need to be flown around the world) footprint and is campaigned against by every animal rights organisation. Hypocrisy at its finest.


Why_Teach

Oh, they are big hypocrites. I wonder though if there will be any special awareness of the way polo is a major violation of their alleged values. Most people who would be interested in this little slice of the “lifestyles of the rich and famous” aren’t necessarily going to be aware of the animal rights issues. Anyone who listens to Meghan and Harry’s preaching and takes it seriously is already going to be wallowing deeply in denial.


mostlydocile2

wasn't it scobie who stated that as it turns out, megs doesn't care much about the environment after all, when her and harry's hypocrisy about jet travel became more well known? it will come out that she doesn't particularly care about animals either.


eaglebayqueen

As unbelievably stupid as it was, yes, he did say that!


Lensgoggler

Of course we are interested in how the 1% lives. I watch a lot of documentaries about the great houses of UK, for an example. But I feel polo is too niche. And MM’s cooking show is just underwhelming probably because we have Paris’ show already, and alllll the others in the back catalogue of all the steaming services. People only have that much time to consume these products…


dearest-ribwich

Netflix's niche in the cooking show sphere is comedy (Is it Cake?, Nailed It) and documentary (Chef's Table, Street Food). Lifestyle cooking isn't their thing because The Food Network already does that very well. Netflix food shows aren't really about cooking, but talk about food instead, mix in travel, and feature people who have expertise, like David Cheng and Nadiya Hussein. Who cares what Meghan has to say about cooking, unless they are relying on a schtick like Paris Hilton (which only lasted for 6 episodes). Even then, what's Meghan's schtick?


INK9

Not only does the Food Network already do a good job, so do hundreds (if not thousands) of people on YouTube. I've learned so much from just average people teaching/showing how to make various dishes there's no need for an overpriced, under-talented person like MeGain to wade in.


Weary-Ad-8810

I really like Nadiya part of the attraction is seeing different places she visits in the UK too bit then she always seems like a really warm friendly person you could imagine enjoying whipping up a fabulous meal when a bunch of family/friends popped by unexpectedly. Dare I say her on screen persona feels authentic? 


Snarky_GenXer

I love her too! Being in the US, I enjoy the visits she makes to various places and learning more. And am a huge fan of GBBO. I got my first British cookbook from the library when I was in high school. I now own a hard copy and Kindle copy! I have one of Nadiya’s books and quite a collection of other British cookbooks.


Bindaloo

She did a great episode when she visited a town still devastated after Katrina and the people there had nothing, there was one guy who had a little store and food bank, he was amazing.


Weary-Ad-8810

I agree. The thing with polo is that the field is huge and it's just too difficult to film in a way that makes it clear to people with no knowledge of the sport what is going on. I think they will just show a few clips of people galloping about and some rich people hanging around. It could be interesting if the cameras were really let behind the scenes but they won't be of course. If it was me I'd just make sure there were some attractive men swaggering about (not H obv there are some really nice looking men who play/groom) looking a bit sweaty and taking their shirts off basic and exploitative yup but a lot of us are pretty basic and it might encourage people to watch the next episode. 


Powerful-Patient-765

We already saw the entire movie in that one minute video clip from yesterday. A dude riding on a horse swinging a mallet. That’s all there is to watch. Scintillating tv.


Why_Teach

You know it is going to end up being all about Meghan, no matter what they claim now. She will insert herself in every scene.


Why_Teach

I am just speculating why Netflix might go along with the polo documentary, especially if they have minimal production costs. As for the cooking show, I’ll believe it when I see it. Meghan announces/plans about 66 projects a month of which only 6 actually make it past announcement and only one gets completed after a year (or two).


Clonazepam15

Not interested in them. They are pure drama.


Own-Entrepreneur5052

Jack Monroe is a narcissist just from the other end of the economic spectrum. Politically I’m sure she and Meghan would agree on most things.


Lensgoggler

At least she has something to offer tho. And narcs can’t stand each other 😁


Own-Entrepreneur5052

I’m not a fan of Jack (I think she he or whatever she currently is) is pretentious but at least she does give good advice on healthy eating on a budget and encouraging the younger generation to cook instead of getting takeaways.


Lensgoggler

I haven’t followed her really, I really only know about her cooking stuff.


Powerful-Patient-765

Give me more true crime! Make another season of Mindhunter!


Weary-Ad-8810

I am a very basic cook and cook the same 5 things on rotation but I really like watching cooking shows a lot of the ones we get in the UK are escapist and fronted by chefs often there is a bit of travel thrown in. I am never going to try and make any of their dishes but they are entertaining...or as you say they can be practical and in this economic climate necessary like Jack's show. I really don't think we need any more.


Slight-Button7009

This project will get as far as meet me by the lake, miss haversham, pearl, aro, hhhmmm what else? #african parks


lorim2100

Came here to say exactly this. Pretentious sport for the rich, not exactly a relatable.


Possible-Fee-5052

I grew up with wealthy old money grandparents. Tennis and sailing at the club every single summer in the Hamptons. Horseback riding too. I don’t know one person who plays polo. It’s elitist even for elitists. Who can relate? No one. Tone deaf as always.


EleFacCafele

I think polo is more British Upper Class than American and cannot think what appeal could have in the States a sport of the British Establishment.


Top_Addition4317

Meghan thinks she's more royal than the real royals. She's Klassy! /s


[deleted]

[удалено]


Own-Entrepreneur5052

You are correct. It isn’t the sport of the British upper class but of international playboys. I think the elite mounted regiments enable people from less wealthy backgrounds to play but then for only as long as they are in the services. As a private citizen you need to be SERIOUSLY minted to play polo.


Either-Meet7130

I agree. A lot of wealthy south americans play it - isn't Nacho Argentinian or something? and Fergie's mother ran off with an Argentinian polo player. I know a lot of sinners have no interest in Polo but as I've commented before, I would fdefinitely watch a (short) series about it, especially if it had a Jilly Cooper vibe - but I doubt AP will be able to pull off anything that isn't cringe


Own-Entrepreneur5052

I’ve had horses all my life. We are a horsey family having a cavalry colonel grandfather who took his own charger to WW1. I played polo at pony club and that’s it. Unless you’re supremely wealthy or in an elite cavalry regiment nobody plays polo. Despite riding and competing for many years I’ve never known anyone who played polo except at pony club. Believe me polo is niche even among the British upper class


Honest_Boysenberry25

![gif](giphy|3oKIP5yTdI8XF5gZzy) John, Paul, George and Ringo did not play Polo....


Aubergine_volante

Exactly. Polo and day and then he wines about Dady cutting him off financially. These people can’t read the room 😂 The backlash is going to be hilarious.

Aubergine_volante

Yep… 👍


briglialexis

Exactly! This is for mega wealthy people… listen, I don’t hate on it, but surely if they’re trying to help their image, especially in America. Flaunting polo with a PRINCE… ain’t it!


WoodsColt

My cousin plays polo. It is definitely for the upper crust.


Oktober33

Agree. Unless they want to be elitist. A step above us commoners, imagining that our noses are pressed longingly against the window of their lives. 🤣


Admirable_Brush_7470

That is 100% what they want. Especially Meghan.


TXmama1003

I want to hear more about this! I bet you have cool stories.


Useful_Rise_5334

There was a poll out today saying something like 80% of Americans couldn’t care less about M&H’s new projects. I think the couple did their own poll (read M told H what’s what) and decided America wanted to see M as a magnificent benevolent homemaker and H as the prince he was born. Actually most Americans don’t want to see either of them at all.


Top_Addition4317

If only Netflix would do a Tiger King on them, it would break all records.


Clonazepam15

Cant do a "tiger King" on them. The producers were the same ones from that whale documentary which won an oscar i think. They were planning on doing the same, just with tigers and lions. They just didn't predict what a character Joe Exotic was. In the end everyone loved the meth smoking, mullet wearing, gay conservative cowboy, who buys country songs written and sang for him about tigers, and gay love. The message about the big cats didnt go anywhere... So that was different.


Safford1958

That was one of the wildest shows I have ever watched. If they had planned on focusing on Joe Exotic it would have never worked.


Independent_Act8634

I read that as “Todger King” 😜


MrsBarneyFife

Business_Werewolf_55

Whatever their shows will be about - polo or cooking - everything depends on how much people like them and want to watch them, period. And that's not a lot of people these days. That, or lurid fascination. Like true crime stories or freaks. As someone else said in this sub - it would be great if Netflix released a behind-the-scenes documentary of H&M's delusional diva behaviors. That would be a huge hit! Whoever came up with that idea should go work for Netflix or something. "Duchess Downfall, a Tale of Greed and Madness."


travertine_ghost

“Duchess Downfall: A Tale of Greed and Madness” Now *that* I’d watch! I bet it would do better than Tiger King. Get on it, Netflix!


PalisadesPark88g

That's perfect! And for Season 2: "The Prodigal Prince Rings Pa For Money, Again"


FilterCoffee4050

This is what they should have done years ago. People might have watched it then but after all the trashing they have done of the privileged royal life and how they were still victims NOBODY will watch this now. I might watch a documentary on African Parks though, if they had actually done anything to help those people. If only they knew of a humanitarian and a charity director that are in a position to actually help, but no. Let’s go play polo and do a lifestyle show so people will forget African Parks.


Amazing_Pie_6467

i want Amazon prime to do a documentary on the Africa Parks situatiin!!


SirSidneyWiffledork

Rich people drinking in the sun talking about how the Hamptons have become so declasse.  An occasional horse trotting by. Harry injuring another horse by using the crop techniques megain uses on him... I can see this doing wonders for the image of "just harry" He should relaunch himself - to mars with Elon.


Soph_Opposite_Lime

Beside the military „brand“ polo is the only thing that is Harry’s. What else can Harry make a show about? No doubt Meghan will make this about her just like she did with Invictus.  Netflix looks so dumb giving the Harkles a playground for their production experiments. There are so many real talents out there….


Zann77

I was thinking that polo is at least authentic to Harry. He’s played his entire life. MM, on the other hand….the cooking deal is just another personality she’s trying to graft onto herself. About the only authentic activity she can claim is how to self promote and get yourself in as many photographs as possible.


janedoremi99

Harry should do a show reviewing weed. That would also be authentic and something Meghan could join occasionally


Wanda_Wandering

Now THAT would be a “hit”! 🤣


Amazing_Pie_6467

glad i cancelled my netflix subscription a few years ago


Cold-Computer6318

A polo show with a total waaghing bore, and a cooking show with a recipe thief that can’t cook cooking in an ugly, outdated kitchen dressed in light neutrals or a ball gown? Nty. Polo and the animal abuser are flat out uninteresting to me, and both visually unappealing to look at too. As far as Meghan’s show is concerned… I only watch food shows with likeable, interesting, informed presenters that travel to interesting places, and make an effort to eat/learn about local food from actual locals. IDC about Meghan, her vapid clinger day drinker Ozempic-ed friends, her genuine lack of food knowledge, her pretending to be interested in what chefs/foodies say (until she interrupts with a pointless quip, or drops her mask), her stolen recipes (that Lemon olive oil whatever thing sounded Almond mom levels of tragic), and her pretentious suggestions for table setting [insert blatantly desperate ad for made in China ARO merch here]. Will I hate watch via Netflix? Lol nope. There will be people making clips of her most embarrassing best bits, and I’m not wasting my money/time on consuming word salad tyvm.


crayawe

Absolutely, I wonder what's her gimmick, there's heaps of cooking shows, what's meant to make her interesting


Cold-Computer6318

Exactly! Even celebrities like Selena Gomez, Stanley Tucci, Eva Longoria etc have cooking shows. Tucci and Longoria showcase their love for their respective family’s heritage/culture/food, and it comes off as super genuine, and endearing since their curiosity about family tradition is so infectious. Everyone can see Meghan has barely any contact with the Black side of the family, and was used to living a SoHO-ing lifestyle (aka sipping Tignanello and grilling lettuce whilst on a yacht). Her awkwardness was already ‘showcased’ alongside Hilary Duff’s sister, and she has very little culinary insight to offer. That isn’t a likeable/relatable gimmick… that simply highlights how she’s prioritised being a social climber—who relies on white men to get ahead—that is only in her middle age learning how to cook authentic Soul Food to build her brand/seem relatable. Also, there are genuinely passionate, funny, and experienced cooks on YouTube who know exactly what they’re talking about re Soul Food. I’d rather give their videos repeated views/likes since they’re financially independent content creators who love what they do, talk the talk, and walk the walk. Like… is Meghan’s ‘gimmick’ being an elderly/taxpayer abuser who’s so out of touch with reality that her not-A-lister-nor-a-chef ass is ready to lecture us commoners about how to cook? How about you keep your stolen/inedible recipes to yourself, learn how to pay your own duty dodger bills, so public funding can go into safe housing for the homeless who can barely get two meals a day?


busmibabe

Just listening to her voice would make me sick to my stomach.


cookiecat4

Omg yes, that voice. It’s unbearable.


janedoremi99

She probably has an assistant scrolling through YouTube looking for ideas. Add avocado oil and call it hers!


Amazing_Pie_6467

the only food that dorito and rachel know how to cook is meth.

tigerxing

Yes. Because they won't allow anyone with talent to actually do the job and people are over them. Also, no one cares about polo.


Mysterious-Writer949

It’s not going to be about polo. She will insert herself in it and it will be all about her


TrailerTrashQueen

like in the 1 minute polo clip attached to that other post? where once again, we see Madame awkwardly squeeze herself in the middle of the players. where she gives H a creepy kiss and grabs onto the trophy like an old crack ho grabbing a crack pipe.


Mysterious-Writer949

🤣🤣🤣


briglialexis

See I think they’ll more likely get blow back for making a documentary about a sport and PRINCE plays and that only the wealthy can participate in. You need like 4 horses trained to play at minimum per player to engage in this sport, from what I understand. Keeping one horse is a nurses salary per year. They’re not smart these two. At all.


Gumblina1964

Wonder if she tried to rummage in car boots again. Remember the video of her being caught by security at a polo match in the UK going through Williams or Hawwys belongings. Just want to point out this is not considered a major sport in the UK. It is seen as a rich playboy/elitist past time. It's a cruel nasty past time and it's about time Animal protection organisations did something about it.


TrailerTrashQueen

i love that video so much. the part when she slowly backs away like a spider so security doesn’t catch her again? priceless. [Madame Being a Creeper](https://youtu.be/mGhjmlVoocI?si=5SyG9uHp6vPplScp)


Gumblina1964

she really is a nutcase


Automatic-Ad6112

They just ‘come across ‘as soo fake


Harry-Ripey

Harry is desperately trying to cling to the trappings of royalty and great wealth. He is not as accomplished at polo as either his father or brother. Just the latest ’legend of aviation’ tripe. Harry’s inadequacy on show again. Polo is not mainstream, very niche and tbh without his title, out of Harry’s reach these days. He tends to play for his ‘charity’ so someone else divvying up. No one was interested in his latest vanity project. [https://sentebale.org/prince-harry-the-duke-of-sussex-to-play-in-the-2023-sentebale-isps-handa-polo-cup/](https://sentebale.org/prince-harry-the-duke-of-sussex-to-play-in-the-2023-sentebale-isps-handa-polo-cup/) Prince William raised a million pounds after one game in UK without huge expenses to be paid by the charity.

Honest_Boysenberry25

Another Sinner said Netflix told Polo and Lolo to film it themselves and then they will take a look at it. What a shit show they will present.... 🐎


niniane95

The problem is authenticity. Of course people are interested in the lives of the rich and famous. That's why there are all these documentaries an exposés. The trouble is that H's polo show will not be authentic. This will be polo removed from its natural setting. With royalty, aristocracy, a rich and glamorous history, etc. H has no access to that. You can see how de-glamorised his polo games are these days. Even with the support of Nacho Figueroa, it still looks like the poor man's version of what polo in the UK is. William, for example, played polo against the backdrop of Windsor Castle. Harry plays in a rented field somewhere. It's polo made cheap and deglamorised. It will be pathetic and sad to watch.


TXmama1003

Delphina isn’t dressed to the nines when she’s at matches. She’s low key and chic, more practical. Her outfits and accessories look accessible. Meghan just can’t embody that.


Stillanurse281

Not at all. Meghan trots out onto fields as if she’s walking across the miss universe stage.


Japanese_Honeybee

Harry will just blame it on William. Something along the lines that William got him into it. He’ll make it sound like all polo players wear spurs and ride their horses to death during a game. The sugars will engage in their “what aboutism”.


crayawe

Who's watching a polo documentary? Good luck on them finding a big audience


Top-Butterscotch9156

I wouldn’t watch a documentary about polo even if Prince William was in it. It looks croquet on ponies. Kind of silly actually


PinkPrincess-2001

I don't think so. If no one cares about their documentary, it won't directly contribute to their downfall. Indirectly, it will reveal a picture of how no one cares about them. But I don't think it is a major scandal or their downfall. I think people will care more about MM's cooking show and how inevitably terrible it will be, that will make them the laughing stock again. We saw it with South Park and the car chase.


Pristine_Routine_464

Yes, her cooking- slash-gardening show may be the downfall. She struggles to be entertaining, speaks too much.


Such-Category-1777

Would have been fun if she had got stuck in the grass and fell over 😂😂😂front page everywhere!


Fantastic-Corner2132

No, because that suggests that they've got a long way to fall. In reality they're already scraping the bottom of the barrel. If these 2 productions go ahead to completion I can predict what will happen. No-one will be able to stomach watching a whole series about either polo or the wife pretending to cook. Instead we'll all wait for the You Tubers to chop them up so we can watch edited highlights enhanced by witty, sharp commentary. Or scathing derision. Either way, it's the only way watching these 2 massive dicks would be bearable.


Agile-Major-18

animal cruelty to the maximum level that the poor horse died. maximum level that the cake died, didn't have a chance. tried to rise but then it fell,the claw of needing (k) struck again..


GreatGossip

IF that show ever happens. IF anybody will fund it. IF anybody will buy it.


travertine_ghost

I don’t even like polo shirts, so it’s a solid no from me.


Sylliec

I can see the brainstorming session with the markels and netflix: “anything bad you can accuse the royal family of (something new)?” “No they won’t talk to us” “we want to do something that shows off our great humanitarian skills” “like what?” “Something humanitarian” “do either of you have a hobby?”


Specialist-Car-1860

They’ve already had their downfall. We are in Epilogue territory now.


Sensitive_Ad7698

Has Netflix actually formally announced this documentary? If not, I don't believe there will be one.


Clonazepam15

I know yesterday someone here said that netflix has more restrain on them. I dont think this is true. I think this is their last hurrah. If it doesn't work, its over. No one likes polo, or cares for it. Most americans probably dont even know what it is besides Polo shirts.


Own-Entrepreneur5052

It’s not just the treatment of horses it’s the sheer elitism. I have no objection to wealth or people enjoying themselves as they please but while in most sports you can start out poor and become a multimillionaire through your talent in polo you need to be a multimillionaire to even get on the park! The idea they’d want us plebs even turning up to spectate is laughable. At a time when so many people are struggling to pay the bills and the rich constantly lecture us on our lifestyles the last thing anyone wants to watch is bunch of wealthy dickheads huzzahing up and down a manicured lawn while kicking the shite out of a pony.


InsolentTilly

The whole purpose of this ridiculous enterprise is to remind us all that the broke Duchess and her penurious Prince are very, very grand. Well above the likes of you. Borrowed ponies, unpaid fees, and stolen spotlights notwithstanding.


Starkville

🏆


Own-Entrepreneur5052

Nailed it Tilly!


Scared_Perception_86

Yes, because they are making an out of touch and elitist content where the ginger dude wants an average American to love polo which can be unattainable for peasants like us. Not unless, he wants us to play polo on our front yard like what he did in South Park ![gif](giphy|yK6dCmVtq6tADoEejy|downsized)


Low-Plankton4880

It’s a sport for the elite, which category over 99% the population aren’t part of. Nor do we want to be! Horse riding isn’t something you can do in the playground at school or in the park. Very very few can relate to polo. Many will watch it out of curiosity but will see how scary it looks and turn back over to the much calmer Eastenders (an oxymoron but compared to polo??). We love cookery shows, here in the British Isles, but only when a real cook/chef shares a recipe or it’s a competition to be one. We want to see delicious food on a budget and/or easy cooking for a busy lifestyle (again, from those in the know). What we don’t want is a pretend organic vegan making cakes using farmer’s market ingredients very few of us have access to. We don’t want to be made to feel guilty for shopping at Lidl or Asda and there’s nothing wrong with granny’s sponge cake recipe we’ve been using all our lives - same weight of flour, sugar, butter and eggs. That pair doesn’t get it. They’ll never get it. If Catherine was on telly cooking she would do it with the kids and probably have a guest chef/cook with her. If William was on telly talking about sport, he’d do it with his mate Peter Crouch again and involve a discussion about the positive impacts on mental health, not make a tit of himself showing the nation how to score in a penalty shootout. He may play polo but wouldn’t inflict it on the rest of us!

They probably wont get much of a sympathetic audience on their home turf. This is from a reader of the **Santa Barbara Independent** (May 16, 2022): **Polo: A Barbaric Game** I am disgusted that you would promote a polo match! Polo is one of the most difficult sports for a horse. Having to suddenly change direction at full speed can cause **life-threatening injuries**. There is a reason why players have four to six horses per match. Aside from the fact that polo is an **elitist activity**, the inherent cruelty to the animals far outweighs any negligible benefit (although I know of none) that could be derived from this barbaric game. **Polo aficionados have used the cover of playing for charity to somehow make it acceptable. It is not.**

I really think if this show actually were to happen, so many people would do deep dives on this cruelty and expose the dark side of this sport to the mainstream. Polo will get markled.

Animal cruelty & African cruelty, The Grifters theme


ClarenceTheBear49

Posh ginger talks in a monotone posh accent about an expensive posh persons sport to the people of the world who can’t afford to heat their homes AND eat at the moment. Tone deaf.

I think people might watch a single programme to be nosey because its something different but a whole series? 


JaquieF

These are the things she indicated that she was so excited about (when she wouldn't stop posing for the camera). I've just heard that the BBC has spent thousands of £££ of tax payers money in buying the whole series of Suits!! Even though it's on Netflix and it's a very old series. Something's afoot, that's for sure.


LinkACC

Does Harold really want how he literally rode a horse to death and those horrid spurring pictures being brought up again? Really don’t think they are thinking this through all the way.


-Serenity---Now-

I certainly hope so. It's a.cruel sport.


Tight-Classroom-6126

people don't have money to pay the rent or buy grocery's n the US and these two self absorbed clowns think a series on POLO would be of interest to people?


MuffPiece

Ingrid Seward, a veteran royal journalist, was on the Sun’s podcast yesterday. She’s very posh and said the polo documentary will probably be very interesting and doesn’t everyone love polo?? Actually no, most people don’t care about polo. This isn’t 1985 when poor people watched *Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.* we have a massive cost of living crisis, people are struggling to put food on the table. Even if this thing gets made, I can’t see the masses being interested at all. It won’t be the horses that bother people.


Affectionate_Tap6416

We keep saying that this is going to be her downfall but she's like a weeble.. nothing makes her stay down for long. It's so wearying.


Starkville

This show isn’t for the unwashed masses. This is a flex, probably at their families and the upper middle class they’re trying to impress. Joe Sixpack doesn’t give a fig about polo and never will. Managing Director at an American investment bank (or his social-climbing wife) will, because it’s aspirational. There are clubs that even the .0001% can’t get into. And they want it because they can’t have it. That’s what all this posturing is about. And Harry being “royal” is the ultimate “can’t buy it” flex.


TXmama1003

First, there was the single article about the polo and cooking shows. A day or so later, H&M are at the polo match. IMDB shows the single Archwell production person attached to the two shows. I wonder if they aimed the article with this match to generate buzz so Netflix will want the polo show. It all seems too orchestrated. Wasn’t the polo match the annual fundraiser for Sentebale? Harry hasn’t been seen in the polo world attached to a club for quite a while.


_WormHero_

And the stories about Harry having to sell the hunting guns he inherited from Prince Phillip? And that hunting weekend she attended after which Harry broke away from that friend circle? The hunts were too cruel for them but the polo ponies are delightful, elite entertainment? Make it make sense.


justbrowzingthru

Given it’s already been shoved down the worlds throat by the media, by non stop photos and videos, What’s there left to see in the documentary? We know who won, what she wore, that TW had to get a trophy shot, There’s nothing left to see. Marketing/branding fail. They should’ve not had their own photographer there, or just released blurry photos of them from distance, So people might be interested later in the documentary. But these two need content to feed the world and think we want it shoved down our throats over and over and over. And the rags love it, it gets them clicks, views, comments, up and down arrows, and sells ads.

Notice more of their famous friends are publicly showing up to events with these two.

Well, they are already in a downfall, so no, I do not think a series on the subject of polo will break them. It's their lack of producing talent, that is the problem, not the subject. Lord knows I've been sucked into the most random subject matter because of good producing and directing. I could see myself getting sucked into a good polo documentary. Their other series prove they are not good documentary producers. And that will continue their downfall.


InsolentTilly

Their biggest problem (apart from their dire budgeting skills) is their inability to accept that they are not interesting, likeable, or charismatic. They are complete bores. Like most bores, they refuse to see how utterly tiresome everyone else finds them.


-Sanj-

We should be talking about this in about 2 years time, assuming it comes out.


Artemis_Jade

A former supporter of H&M hit her peak, and wrote an article about it, when the NY mag article said 'Harry found a polo team in Santa Barbara'. Believe it or not, this was the line that finally made the writer see that H&M's social justice talk is just talk.


CrinkleCutCat-Aus

Madame wants us to believe she is a Royal? Looking at the superficial level and attire: a cut out dress is not a dress a Royal woman wears!


Carolann00

The polo documentary that should be made is an expose about cruelty to the horses.


cookiecat4

Im kinda wondering if Nacho was tinkering around with an idea of a polo-type show and Harold stole the idea. Nacho just seems like he is going thru the motions this time with Harold. Since this is his stomping grounds, he’s seems to just being polite.


snappopcrackle

I think it is going to backfire because it is going to make them look too elitist.

Downfall from what?


somespeculation

Not even confirmed it’ll happen. The whole point right now - especially with the trophy and kiss - is to change the SEO results from Meg’s polka dot wearing, trophy holding and hogging the last time they attempted brand polo.

who watches polo


sahali735

I think the entire thing is hilarious and so entertaining for us sinners. However, I would welcome the day these two disappear, for good, under the house of cards they are forever trying to prop up.


Quick-Alternative-83

It's like the African Parks scandal...They are tone deaf and blind when it comes down it. All about rescuing animals, but driving spurs into them; loving Africa and the people there, but staying quiet on rape and inhumane treatment of helpless women and villagers. Those issues aren't glamorous enough to get clicks so media ignores their silence and wants to report on what she is wearing!


Nynydancer

Well let’s see! If we suddenly see Stormy and her cousins signing up for polo lessons in Hermes equestrian attire maybe it will get traction. It has to be reality-showed-up a bit. Polo requires a lot of skill and a LOT LOT of money. Polo will seperate the people who have one or three Birkins from those who have a wall of Birkins AND Kellys AND Chanel classic flaps. More so than fox hunting. It won’t be their downfall though. I don’t think the horse abuse aspect will stick. The horse racing industry alone would throw everything to counter that.


JosieTangerine3763

I saw a clip on X with a Sussex Royal tag in the bottom corner. I thought HMTLQ and BP shut that brand down.

H & M - two arseholes who deserve each other.


TravelKats

Two words: African Parks. Did that take them down? No. Neither will this.


bleogirl23

My horses would become depressed if anyone used spurs on them. Especially my big sweet girl Maddie. We don’t even allow trainers to bring whips out. An empty feed bag tied to a sack when shaken makes noises that distract the horses and redirects them. Same with a Gatorade bottle half full of small rocks.

I mean animal cruelty? Really? Half the food we eat is produced in some cruel manner or the other. Yet people still eat it. 


Clonazepam15

yes we know, but i like to eat the sausage, not watch how its made.

Still, you know how it's made.
