When Netflix signed that $100 million deal with the Sussexes, they probably thought they had struck gold. Instead, what they got was yet another failure to add to their growing list of Sussex disappointments. Yes, the show features a prince who plays polo—oh wait, and there’s Meghan Markle in the Netflix documentary.
The reviews? Absolutely brutal. Even The Guardian, who’s usually a bit lenient, gave it a measly two stars. Two stars! Unbelievable. I can tell you firsthand, this show is an absolute snooze-fest. I practically deserve a medal for getting through it.
Meanwhile, across the pond, we've got Prince William and Catherine continuing to show the world what real royal work looks like. The contrast is striking. The numbers don’t lie, folks. On IMDb, this Polo disaster has a pathetic 2.5 out of 10. How’s that for a flop?
And here’s the kicker—Netflix isn’t even promoting the show. I checked myself. You actually have to search for it on their platform! When you're paying millions for content, you'd think it would be front and center, right? But no. Sources close to Netflix are reportedly saying what we’ve all been thinking: the $100 million experiment has been a complete disaster. They wanted personal drama, insider access, and they got… well, a boring documentary.
But it gets worse. Apparently, there’s one more project in the pipeline—a cooking and gardening show after this Polo disaster. Does anyone actually believe they can pull that off?
This isn’t just about a bad show—it’s about a pattern of over-promising and under-delivering. Let’s be real, Netflix isn’t in the charity business. They’re not going to keep throwing money at bad content once the contract expires. Not a chance.
Now, let’s talk about the royals. While all of this is going down, King Charles is leading with dignity, William and Catherine are showing what true public service looks like, and Queen Camilla is supporting them all with grace and dedication. The contrast couldn’t be clearer. On one side, we’ve got substance, true impact. And on the other, we've got a dull Polo documentary.
I’ve been covering the royal scene for years, and I have to tell you—this might be the beginning of the end for the Sussex media empire. Netflix was supposed to be their golden ticket, their big platform to tell the truth. Instead, it’s turned into another example of how far they've fallen.
