Meghan Markle 'less confident' after stepping out with Prince Harry for Netflix polo match


Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped out for a charity polo match in Palm Beach, Miami on Friday with a Netflix camera crew in tow.

But the Duchess of Sussex appeared “less confident” than Harry who was in his element at the event, according to body language expert Judi James.

She told Daily Express US: “For royal males the polo match is the glitziest event in the calendar as the polo field is where they like to perform some intense Jilly Cooper-style peacocking, galloping around on horseback in their tight white riding britches and unbuttoned shirts or adopting macho poses with the other members of their team.

“It’s an easy choice of venue for Harry with his Netflix cameras then although it’s unusual for a polo wag to join in the glitz like Meghan is in her killer heels here.

“Polo has a tradition of divot-stomping at half time when wags tend to get out there to flatten the grass with their feet which presumably isn’t Meghan’s intention.

“The couple present like film stars here, holding hands as they pose and smile for the cameras, even lining up arm in arm with Harry’s polo partner and his wife. Meghan is all huge shades, wide smiles and royal waves here while Harry’s puffed chest and confident stride suggests he is in his absolute element.

“Meghan only looks slightly less assured when she is in the paddock with him before the match starts, where her folded arms make her look a little less confident.”

The show will be made by the couple’s Archewell Productions company and will give “unprecedented access to the world of professional polo” and the US Open Polo Championship in Florida, Netflix said.

Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho co-founded Sentebale as a response to the needs of children and young people living in Lesotho.

Sentebale has since expanded its operations to Botswana and works providing support for young people living with HIV, Aids and mental health issues and training related to career development, entrepreneurship and education.

Polo events have raised more than £11.4 million for the charity.
