  • Polo" was supposed to be Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's latest effort to fulfill their end of their reported $100 million deal with Netflix.
The article from The Seattle Times discusses the Netflix series "Harry & Meghan," focusing on an episode where Prince Harry plays polo, a sport often criticized for its elitism and perceived lack of athletic rigor. The piece humorously critiques the sport itself, describing it as "the world’s stupidest sport" due to its slow pace, the seemingly minimal effort required, and its association with wealth and privilege. It also reflects on what the couple's involvement in such an event might suggest about their public image and the contradictions in their advocacy for social change while participating in activities emblematic of the upper class. The article uses the polo episode to delve into broader themes of identity, privilege, and the public personas of Harry and Meghan, suggesting that their choice to feature polo might unintentionally reveal more about their lifestyle and values than they might intend.
