Harry and Meghan debacle: They set out to conquer America, but nobody found them interesting

It was going to be a huge success, but only in their thoughtsโ€ฆ Their latest Netflix documentary has attracted criticism

Prince Harry and Meghan Markleโ€™s latest Netflix documentary, Polo, has struggled to capture the attention of audiences and critics alike. Despite focusing on the high-profile global sport, the documentary has failed to secure a spot in the top 10 rankings either in Britain or internationally.

Marketing expert Tony Case expressed doubts about the documentaryโ€™s success, labeling it a potential โ€œcolossal bombโ€ in comments to The Daily Beast. โ€œThey set out to conquer America, but nobody here, it turned out, found them or what theyโ€™re peddling to be particularly compelling,โ€ he remarked.

The criticism doesnโ€™t end there. Eric Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, shared a similarly harsh view with Newsweek, describing the production as โ€œa pompous portrayal of privilege posing as a documentary.โ€

The Attention Shifts to Meghanโ€™s Cooking Show

The disappointing performance of Polo has shifted attention to Meghan Markleโ€™s upcoming cooking show, set for a 2025 release.

Although filming concluded in the summer, little has been revealed about the showโ€™s title or a definitive release date. With the Sussexesโ€™ multimillion-dollar Netflix deal nearing its 2025 expiration, insiders are questioning whether the project is worth pursuing after Poloโ€˜s lackluster results.

โ€œThere wonโ€™t be another deal. There may be one-offs, but thatโ€™s it,โ€ a source told The Mail, revealing that Meghanโ€™s show has so far only been presented to a โ€œtiny audience of executives in the US.โ€

Another insider echoed the sentiment, stating, โ€œItโ€™s make or break. People say Netflix are exhausted.โ€ The looming uncertainty casts doubt on whether Meghanโ€™s next venture can revive the Sussexesโ€™ streaming prospects.

Is the royal pair leaving the USA?

In recent weeks, there have been rumors of the couple potentially moving away from the U.S., especially following the elections, with several destinations suggested, including Portugal as a leading contender. However, as of now, the pair will remain in America unless unforeseen changes occur.
