A Kiss for Charity… and Netflix: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Share Romantic Moment on Polo Field as They Film New Show
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared a kiss on a polo field in Florida on Friday, April 12, as both supported the Duke of Sussex's charity, Sentebale... and Harry's upcoming Netflix series.
"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," a Netflix press release read about the fifth in line to the British throne's upcoming series.
The Montecito duo showed up at the event "looking chic," according to a Hollywood insider. Meghan wore a cream-colored halter dress that split around the chest in a cut-out pattern. She wore her hair back in ponytail fashion, and donned large sunglasses that concealed most of her face, and "clashed" with her "oversized" gold earrings. Harry "looked summer ready," according to an outlet, as he arrived in a grey blazer and a blue shirt with "stylish" slip-on shoes.
The 39-year-old prince founded Sentebale in the mid-2000s during his recurring trips to Africa. The organization aims to help children throughout the continent who are afflicted with HIV and AIDS. The Duke and Duchess toured several African nations on behalf of the late Queen Elizabeth II in September 2019, which led to her now notorious interview with journalist Tom Bradby.
"I really tried to adopt this British sensibility of a 'stiff upper lip,'" she revealed to Bradby. "I really tried, but I think that what that does internally is probably really damaging."
The duo initiated "Megxit" four months later.
Flash-forward to today, and the royal rebels have not one, but two new shows in development at Netflix following the "flop" of the Duke of Sussex's Heart of Invictus documentary last summer.
According to Netflix's statement: "The first series is curated by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and celebrates the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship." Some analysts are reporting this program will tie into the ex-actress' new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
The statement added: "The second series offers unprecedented access to the world of professional polo, shot primarily at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida. The series will pull back the curtain on the sport." This project is reported to be all about Harry, who has played the sport ever since he was a teenager.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a megawatt, reported $100 million dollar deal with Netflix in the autumn of 2020. The contract initially called for documentaries, movies, children's programming and specials highlighting "diversity and inclusion."
The partnership is set to expire in the fall of 2025.
