After initial success with theHarry & Meghandocumentary in 2022 andPrince Harry‘s memoirSpare, the couple’s recent projects, including a canceled podcast and an underperforming documentary, have struggled to resonate.
Meghan’s cooking documentary and lifestyle brand reportedly remain delayed amid bureaucratic hurdles, adding to their financial pressures, including $3 million annually for security.
As neither Harry nor Meghan appears inPolo, the project’s success may hinge on more than their personal star power.

Polois a new documentary series that follows elite global players and offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced world of the sport,Netflixexplained.
“You can’t play a sport that costs a minimum $2 million a year to participate in and pretend to be the height of empathy and authenticity,” Paula toldThe Times.
Multiple reports suggested that Netflix, their biggest backer, had no interest in renewing their contract when it came to a close,News.au.comreported on Tuesday (December 2).

If that comes to pass, the couple would have no significant entertainment deals left. Spotify parted ways with them last year, with one executive labeling them “f***ing grifters”, as per the Australian outlet.
Royal expert Angela Levin previously claimed thatHarry and Meghan’s professional relationship was “in a very bad state.”

Harry has been seen taking several solo trips abroad while Meghan has stayed at home with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Angela toldGB Newson October 26 that Harry was facing problems regarding hisUSvisa. She said: “They’re allowed to look again at what the problem is, and he might still not be able to stay there.
“Maybe that’s why they’re buying somewhere else.”

The royal expert further stated: “They say they’re going to work separately, then they say they’re buying a house in Portugal — you don’t do that if you don’t want to separate for most of the time, so I wonder if it’s in a very bad state.
“But I’m sure they’re trying to work out something,” she added, mentioning that Harry is unsure where he is in the decision process.”
Additionally, renowned editor and journalist Tina Brown spoke about the Duchess of Sussex amid the couple’s ongoing struggles,Bored Pandapreviously reported.

She reportedly claimed that Meghan had “the worst judgment in the world” and is “flawless about getting it all wrong.”
Tina additionally said Harry “blindly” followed his wife to California, USA, to start a new life, and in return, she saw him as a “child” and a “lamb to slaughter.”
She added: “Apparently Meghan is actually inconsolable with tears, crying nonstop, because she really liked Tina Brown and now she’s dropped her.
“She claimed Meghan has the worst judgment in the world and that her media strategy is rubbish.
“Can you imagine hearing that about yourself? Especially when you think you’re incredibly important and everything you do is global.”
Meghan, who is of mixed-race heritage with an African-American mother, has faced criticism and negative portrayals in tabloids
Meghan, who is of mixed-race heritage with an African-American mother, Doria Ragland, hasfaced criticism and negative portrayals from some sections of the British tabloid media.
Over the years, some commentators and observers have suggested that some of the coverage she received contained elements of racism or racial bias.
In 2016, when Meghan and Prince Harry had just started dating,The Daily Mailpublished an article with the headline “Harry’s girl is (almost) straight outta Compton,” referencing Meghan Markle’s mixed-race heritage and upbringing in the diverse neighborhood of Crenshaw in Los Angeles.
In 2021, after moving to the US and following Meghan’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey,The Daily Express published an article with the headline: “Meghan’s Oprah claim torn apart as expert exposes major inconsistencies.”
While the headline itself may have not explicitly contained racial bias, critics argued at the time that the tone of the article and its portrayal of Meghan perpetuated negative stereotypes often associated with Black women.
