Netflix ‘Exhausted’ by Meghan Markle as Her and Prince Harry’s Polo Show Bombs

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.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Yeesh. She becomes a Royal, and instead of rising above stuff like this, she wants to wallow in it.
Just what a "commoner" would do.

Oh no! I don’t remember hearing that either of them had polio. Was an iron lung involved? Was it Harry or Meghan?
... oh wait. POLO.
Nevermind.
Good Lord, I can’t imagine not falling asleep after fifteen minutes of a five-part documentary on polo! I think I’d rather watch the iron lung thing.

Polo. A sport all Americans can relate to!
