Former polo-playing friends of Harry have reportedly been left “in appalled hysterics” by the trailer for Harry’s upcoming Netflix series, out December 10th, describing it as “tacky and cringey.” One unnamed friend said it embodied “all the worst things about polo,” while another lamented its failure to spotlight the sport’s increasing inclusivity, calling it a “missed opportunity.”
Critics aren’t pulling any punches. Hollywood insiders and royal watchers alike are questioning the couple’s ability to produce compelling content. A senior executive told The Daily Beast that the couple’s Netflix projects have struggled to resonate, adding, “They are running out of last chances to prove that isn’t so.” The executive speculated that if Harry and Meghan cannot pivot successfully, their future might lie in social media influencing, where their residual fame could still attract lucrative deals.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.320
Caloroga Shark Media, our lower Welcome to Palace intrig Game.
2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.640
Your host Mark Francis, as Harry's pal Nacho, tells it
3
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.239
polo is not just a sport. Polo is a lifestyle.
4
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.519
We eat, we breathe, we sleep polo. A female voice
5
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:26.760
in the trailer for Harry's upcoming Netflix trailer tells us
6
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.800
the world of polo is glamorous, adding that it's a
7
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:35.119
sexy sport, too dirty, sweaty boy's riding. Former polo playing
8
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:38.719
friends of Harry have reportedly been left in appolled hysterics
9
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:43.000
by the trailer for Harry's upcoming Netflix series, out December tenth,
10
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.320
describing it as tacky and cringey. One unnamed friend said
11
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.520
it embodied all the worst things about polo, while another
12
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:55.520
lamented its failure to spotlight the sports increasing inclusivity, calling
13
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.560
it a missed opportunity. Critics aren't pulling any punches. Hollywood
14
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.119
Inside and Royal watchers alike are questioning the couple's ability
15
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.200
to produce compelling content. A senior executive told The Daily
16
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.480
Beast that the couple's Netflix projects have struggled to resonate,
17
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.560
adding they are running out of last chances to prove
18
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:17.040
that isn't so. The executive speculated that if Harry and
19
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:20.879
Meghan cannot pivot successfully, their future might lie in social
20
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:25.760
media influencing, where their residual fame could still attract lucrative deals.
21
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.599
In The Daily Mail, Liz Jones savages Harry's new show.
22
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.799
Jones writes, Harry and Meghan's new reality show is as
23
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.879
fake as Made in Chelsea. How can the King's son
24
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:40.319
have put his name to such trash, dirty, sweaty boys riding?
25
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.959
One can only imagine this was the pitch when Harry
26
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.719
and Meghan rocked up at Netflix headquarters for one last
27
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.200
stab at a commercial hit. There was nothing remotely dignified
28
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.040
about this latest docu series. If the trailer for Polo
29
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.920
is anything to go by, it portrays the game as
30
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.680
the sport of bling in the gaudy manner of Real
31
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.799
Housewives and Selling Sunset, the latter a reality show ostensibly
32
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.439
about real estate, but where women with cleavages. So cavinoius
33
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.319
that Netflix will soon doubtless commission a reality show on
34
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.479
the search to find the men lost in them bicker
35
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.120
and exchanges scripted by writers weaned on Dynasty. The Big
36
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.439
drama of the series will concern a father son duo
37
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.719
who will be playing against each other. Oh, how reality
38
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:24.240
TV mirror's life. I want to win against my dad,
39
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.800
said the younger writer against the backdrop of a chewing nag.
40
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.840
But this isn't Prince Harry talking about his father. In fact,
41
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.840
we don't see Harry at all in the trailer, but
42
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.639
make no mistakes, his and Meghan's names loom large. Literally,
43
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.240
the font is huge in the opening credits. Executive produced
44
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.080
by Prince Harry and Meghan the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
45
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.919
What does executive produced even mean? Did they put up
46
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.000
the money? Don't be silly, of course not. Harry sold
47
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.120
his soul. That the King's son has allowed himself to
48
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.439
be associated with this trash makes me glad. Queen Elizabeth
49
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.199
is no longer alive to cover her eyes as she
50
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.879
watched it. King Charles left the audience and comedian Matt
51
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.520
Ford in fits of laughter at the Royal Variety performance
52
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.840
with his quick witted response to a cheeky joke. Ford,
53
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.759
a political satirist known for his impressions, was performing without
54
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.159
Queen Camilla in attendance, as she had to cancel last
55
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.159
minute due to lingering post viral symptoms. During his sat,
56
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.439
Ford left on Donald Trump's unfounded a claim from the
57
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.520
US presidential campaign that illegal immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were
58
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.439
eating local pets. Channeling Trump, Ford said, they're eating the gats,
59
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.919
They're eating the dogs, before turning to the Royal box
60
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.240
to address the King directly. Your Majesty, King, Charles, you
61
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.360
are named after a spaniel. Be very careful, they'll eat
62
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.520
you alive, he quipped. Camera's called the King laughing heartily
63
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.840
in response. After the show, Ford met with the King
64
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.520
and asked, did you mind the joke about sounding like
65
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.240
a spaniel, to which Charles replied, no, it was very
66
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.479
good joke. You've waited for three hundred years to be
67
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.159
able to say it. The comment left Ford in stitches.
68
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.439
Charles is reportedly planning a visit to the Indian subcontinent,
69
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.560
a development seen as a positive step in his recovery cancer.
70
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.800
The trip would include India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh and aims
71
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.360
to strengthen Britain's post Brexit economic and cultural ties in
72
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.879
the region. Originally scheduled for twenty twenty two, the tour
73
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.400
was postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth. Now discussions
74
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.480
for the trip have resumed, with Downing Street reportedly eager
75
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.040
to see it go forward. A source told The Mirror,
76
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.199
it's hugely encouraging to be able to make such plans
77
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.759
for the King and Queen, given the year the monarch
78
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.639
has had, but it's very much full steam ahead. A
79
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.639
tour of the Indian subcontinent is in the offing, which
80
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.399
will be a huge political and cultural significance for Britain
81
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.759
on the world stage. The King and Queen are the
82
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:42.240
perfect ambassadors at such a time. Kate has extended an
83
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.120
invitation to families and survivors of the devastating knife attack
84
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:48.399
in Southport to attend her annual Christmas Carol service at
85
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.560
Westminster Abbey on December sixth. The tragedy, which occurred on
86
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.360
July twenty ninth at a Taylor Swift themed dance class,
87
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.439
claimed the lives of three young girls and left ten
88
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.079
others injured, including a eight children. The annual carol service
89
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.720
together at Christmas has become a cherished royal tradition, now
90
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.120
in its fourth year under Kate's leadership. Following the attack
91
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.399
in July, William and Kate express their deep sympathy in
92
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.399
a public message. As parents, we cannot begin to imagine
93
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.959
what the family's friends and loved ones of those killed
94
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.639
and injured in Southport today are going through, they wrote.
95
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.920
We send our love, thoughts and prayers to all those
96
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.040
involved in this horrid and heinous attack. Palacentri will be
97
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:31.480
rape back while Kate prepares for her together at Christmas
98
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.959
Carol service. Queen Camilla's nephew, Sir Ben Elliott, is making
99
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.399
headlines with his own star studded festive charity event tonight.
100
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.040
Philadelphia born rapper Eve, known for hits like let Me

Blow Your Mind, Well headline the Fair of Saint James
102
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.600
Christmas Carol Concert at Saint James Church in Piccadilly, now
103
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.240
based in London with her husband Gumball three thousand founder
104
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.120
Maximian Cooper, Eve will join pop stars Emily Sandey and
105
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.959
Jack Savaretti in raising funds for the Quintessentially Foundation's Firefly Project,
106
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.600
which supports disadvantaged young people in London. So Ben, whose
107
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.639
mother Annabelle Elliott is Queen Can Miller's sister, founded the
108
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.759
Quintessentially Foundation and hopes this year's event will build on
109
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.959
the success of last year, which raised over three hundred
110
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.319
and fifty thousand pounds. Speaking about the initiative, Sir Ben said,
111
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.040
together we can help these charities to continue their important
112
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.680
work and restoring hope, health and happiness to the young
113
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.600
people in London facing the most disadvantages. The concept promises
114
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.319
to mix festive tradition with modern flair, bringing together global
115
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.759
