Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have been making headlines since they left the Royal Family in 2020.
But their latest venture, a docuseries about polo, has failed to impress US-based critics.
A Royal Flop: Critics Slam the Docuseries
Writer Danielle Lee Cohen summed it up best in her article for The Cut: “I haven’t felt compelled to watch Polo, and apparently, I’m not alone.
Critics are calling it ‘tedious,’ ‘mostly boring,’ and ‘destined to fall through the submenus into obscurity at the speed of light.’ Ouch!”
Where’s the Royal Couple?
What’s even more surprising is that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the co-producers of the show, barely appear in the series at all. This has led to even more criticism. It seems that Harry, a longtime polo player, had a vision for the show, but it didn’t quite translate to screen.
A Royal Backlash
This isn’t the first time the couple has faced criticism. Remember when they accused the Royal Family of racism towards their son, Prince Archie, and shared their grievances on television? It was a bold move that sparked a heated debate. Since then, the couple has been living in California, where they’ve welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
Can Meghan’s Cooking Show Save the Day?
As Danielle Lee Cohen quipped, “I hope her cooking show goes better?” It’s clear that the royal couple needs to regroup and find a project that resonates with their audience. Will Meghan’s cooking show be the ticket? Only time will tell.
