It comes as Meghan’s new Netflix has been blasted as ‘desperate’ by royal experts

HARRY and Meghan beamed as they made a suave appearance at a charity polo match – just hours after their new Netflix shows were revealed.

Meghan, 42, held her husband’s hand as she donned a sophisticated halterneck white dress, beige heels and oversized sunglasses.

Meanwhile, Harry, 39, complimented her style with a sand toned sport coat, white trousers and baby blue shirt.

The couple greeted Argentine polo player, Nacho Figueras, and his glamorous wife Delfina Blaquier at the star-studded event.

They were also there with a film crew, to start shooting footage for the duke’s new Netflix show about polo.

The Sussexes reportedly have two untitled non-fiction projects in production.

The first series will focus on Meghan and explore “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship”, according to Deadline.

And a second show will hone in on the couple’s love for polo.

Later on Friday, Harry took part in a fun-loving match against his pal Figueras on the field in a bid to raise money for his charity Sentebale.

He was spotted chatting with fellow guests beforehand, one of which called him the “quintessential networker”, as reported by the Mail Online.

“He looked the quintessential networker – shaking hands, smiling for photos. He looked in his element,” they said.

Meghan Markle is wading into politics because it’s her last resort – but her campaign is hypocritical, expert says

Harry and Meghan’s new shows form part of the “creative partnership” Archewell Productions signed with the streaming giant in 2020.

Meghan’s show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation.

The Duchess will executive produce alongside Archewell’s head of non-fiction Chanel Pysnik.

A second series will follow the couple’s polo passion.

Primarily shot at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, the project will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures.

‘DESPERATE’

But, Meghan’s new show has been blasted as “desperate” by royal experts.

The idea has been blasted by royal biographer Ingrid Seward.

Speaking to royal editor Matt Wilkinson on The Sun’s new show, Royal Exclusive, she said: “It’s a bit desperate. I think it is wrong to criticise it before we see it.

“But I am more skeptical about Meghan because I don’t know she knows anything about gardening.

“As for her talking about friendship that does make me feel a bit skeptical.

“She is really known for losing friends rather than gaining friends.

“To hear her talking about friendships I think that might go down a little strangely.”

The show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation.

NETFLIX FLOPS

It follows the couple’s 2022 documentary, Harry and Meghan, which sparked major controversy.

Released in two parts, the explosive docuseries lobbed bombs at The Firm – seeing it torn apart by royal experts.

But, despite the attention it drew, it didn’t even rank in the top 200 most-watched Netflix shows from January to June.

Months later Harry’s series Heart of Invictus about the Olympic-style games he started for wounded ex-service competitors flopped.

Meanwhile, Meghan’s animated series Pearl was dropped while still in the development stage

Harry and Meghan are believed to have been paid only half of their reported £78million contract.

It was said they will get the rest only if they produce content of real interest before the end of 2025.

Harry and Meghan’s business flops

Meghan had her upcoming animated series Pearl chucked out by Netflix while in the development stage.
Then 42-year-old was said to have been “uncharacteristically quiet”, following the loss of her £18million Spotify deal in June last year.
While Spare initially sold a staggering number of copies demand soon dwindled and a year on its popularity has plummeted with major retailers slashing prices in half.
Meanwhile, their Netflix documentary also took a hit and the duke and duchess are believed to have been paid only half of their reported £78million contract.
The pair were poked fun at by comedian Jo Koy at the Golden Globes for “being paid millions by Netflix for doing nothing”.
Harry’s series, Heart of Invictus, shedding light on the Olympic-style games he started for wounded ex-service competitors also flopped.
Archewell figures in December last year revealed a hole in the accounts after it received almost £9million less in donations than in a previous year.
