Netflix ‘Exhausted’ by Meghan Markle as Her and Prince Harry’s Polo Show Bombs
Daily Beast ^ | 12/14/2024 | Tom Sykes

Posted on 12/15/2024 6:33:37 PM PST by simpson96

Amid the apparent unfolding failure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s five-part documentary about polo, sources have told the Daily Mail that Netflix executives are “exhausted” from working with Markle, and her future at the streaming giant now rests on her “make or break” cookery show, which still has no premiere date.

The Daily Beast has reported that the Sussexes—once heralded as Netflix’s golden duo who promised “content that informs but also gives hope” through a “truthful and relatable lens”—and Netflix appear keen to move on from Polo, which was lambasted by critics.

One called it a “tedious inside look” at the sport and a “dull indulgence” while another reviewer suggested the series seemed designed as a spoof to play in the background of Succession episodes.(snip)

One source told the Daily Mail: “It’s make or break. People say Netflix are exhausted. It’s so much work with her and, bluntly, the ‘deliverable’ does not seem to be worth it.”

Another entertainment executive reportedly said, “Her show will have to be an enormous hit to turn around their deal and their reputations in this town.”

MEagain Markle is so yesterday. Prince Harry was poised to be the most popular Royal. Squandered on a gold digger who will dump him when she is done using him. Book it.

A 5 part series on POLO. The only way to get a cable audience for that is to have "a string of poloponies" on Oak Island and then find a button or coin from the middle ages. A curse would also increase viewer involvement.

Better year, a Hallmark Christmas movie about "a prince with a sting of poloponies meets a golddigger royal wannabe at a polo match on Oak Island after finding a button".

Nutflix needs to go back to entertainment and away from virtue signaling wastes of resources like the Harry and Meagan Show and anything by the Obamas.

Those two are relevant because at least two Deep States find them of use.

It would behoove patriots on both sides of the pond to know why.

Related, and ain't this an interesting intersection between Markle and Prince Andrew...

From August...

Meghan Markle Is a ‘Dolphin,’ Not a Shark At least when it comes to investing. The latest addition to her portfolio: the handbag brand Cesta Collective.

From tonight...

Prince Andrew aide joined Chinese ‘spy’ on company boards Amanda Thirsk and Yang Tengbo were both directors of businesses linked to the Duke of York’s Pitch@Palace venture

From the second link...

...In his speech to entrants in April 2019, the duke is reported to have said: “We know that dragons are mysterious creatures, and great white sharks only care about themselves, but I see myself as one of the dolphins, because dolphins always act collectively to achieve their goals.”...

There have been rumors that Markle knew Andrew before she met Harry.

Now I'm thinking that isn't far fetched...

Wonder if YouTuber The Royal Grift has seen this...

Is there a shred of proof of that. Megan Markle is just some actress. People act like she's a criminal just because she's from the U.S. It a U.S. actress is still better than people from a German crime family.

Harry the clown Prince and Megsy the clown Princess. Though actually she is just a Duchess.
Though Prince William went way, way down for me when he gave a Royal honor to batshit crazy Jacinda Ahern, who wrecked New Zealand. When she got booted, she went to teaching at Harvard. She’s the Justin Treadeau of NZ.
