Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will debut two new Netflix series that will see Duke lift lid on the ‘aesthetic and social’ world of polo – while Duchess will ‘celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining, and friendship’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to launch two new Netflix shows on cooking, gardening and polo as part of their ongoing $100 million deal with the streaming site.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have two non-fiction projects in the works, which come off the back of the launch of 42-year-old Meghan’s new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.

While the Duchess will focus on lifestyle-centric topics like gardening and cooking in a move that will likely allow her to cross-promote her brand, the Duke will delve into the world of professional polo, a sport that he has played since he was a child.

Announcing the news on the Archewell website last night, the couple said Harry’s series would focus on polo, from the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida.

It promises to ‘provide viewers with unprecedented access to the world of professional polo.’

They add: ‘Known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene, the series will pull the curtain back on the grit and passion of the sport, capturing players and all it takes to compete at the highest level.’

The shows come as part of the five-year deal brokered between the production arm of the couple’s company, Archewell, and the streaming giant back in 2020, which was worth a reported $100 million.

The first series will see Meghan ‘celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship’.

The show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation, the company behind Hulu’s The D’Amelio Show and A&E’s Leah Remini: Scientology & the Aftermath.

The Duchess of Sussex is set to be an executive producer for Archewell, alongside Chanel Pysnik the company’s head of non-fiction.

Meanwhile, the second series will focus on the glitzy world of polo, with the prince joining Meghan and Pysnik as an executive producer on the second project.

The series will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures, who are also behind hit Netflix shows Chef’s Table, Pepsi, Where’s My Jet? and Sex, Love & Goop.

It was primarily shot during the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Center.

The show will go behind the scenes of the sport, exploring what it takes to compete at the highest level.

It is a topic that Harry is extremely well versed in, having been playing the sport since he was a child – with both his father King Charles and his brother Prince William also known to be firm fans of the game.
