The commentator proceeded to spotlight Harry’s Netflix polo documentary as a significant blunder.
“His Polo documentary didn’t perform well and that was a knock. He thought they were interested in him at the start but it turns out they were only interested in his revelations.
“He’s trying to find freedom and it keeps falling flat – it’s very difficult for him.”
Critics demolished the polo series, which was designed to provide an exclusive glimpse into Harry’s cherished sport. Publications such as The Guardian and Decider labeled it “boring, “tedious” and “a dull indulgence,” with certain critics questioning the rationale behind its creation at all.
Audience figures allegedly fell significantly below projections, delivering a setback to the duo’s $100 million Netflix agreement.
Their additional major Netflix venture this year – Meghan’s lifestyle program With Love, Meghan – performed only marginally better. The culinary and hosting show reached merely #383 on Netflix’s worldwide rankings with 5.3 million viewers, based on official data.
Critical responses were brutal: The Guardian rejected it as empty content, Variety described it as “an ego trip not worth taking,” and The Economist declared it “out of touch with the times.”
The Channel 5 documentary extended beyond examining the Sussexes’ media endeavors – it also delved into Harry’s fractured family relationships, his non-attendance at significant Royal occasions, and his declining popularity among the British public.
