Prince Harry, Meghan in 'dangerous spot' after 'out-of-touch' project

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s new Netflix show Polo has been bombarded with bad reviews from both audiences and critics, and a streaming business insider is questioning why Netflix keeps throwing money at the former working royals.

“How much money is too much money to spend on Harry and Meghan? That’s a tricky question, because Netflix has almost unlimited capital and has already thrown tens of millions of dollars at this couple,” said the insider in conversation with In Touch magazine.

The Guardian bashed the show as an “unintentionally hilarious” profile of “the world’s stupidest sport,” and The Cut published a brutal review titled “Harry and Meghan’s Projects Can’t Stop Flopping.”

“The arbitrage for Netflix comes with all the press attention the Sussexes get, especially in England and the U.S., which are two of Netflix’s biggest markets,” noted the source.

“Polo is shaping up to be one of the most disliked streaming shows of the year,” the tipster remarked, adding that it “seems to underline how out-of-touch Harry and Meghan compared to your typical Netflix subscriber.”

The source argued that the continued support for Harry and Meghan in T.V business is taking opportunities away from those who deserve them.

“There’s not a lot of sympathy for them,” the source noted, adding that “even among the professionals in the T.V. business, they see their mostly pointless Netflix shows as taking opportunities away from creators and talent who are T.V. professionals with legitimately strong ideas”

According to the streaming insider, the new flop “puts them in a dangerous spot, because they still have yet to deliver a rock-solid hit for Netflix that wins over their critics.”

“We’ll see next year how many more chances they really get, but the critics have spoken and nobody is impressed. If they want to keep making television, they need to tackle a subject matter that’s relevant and they need to make the project actually entertaining,” advised the mole.

“It's a lot easier said than done, but if they can’t pull that off, it’s only going to marginalize them further from the Hollywood community,” said the source, concluding their remarks about Harry and Meghan’s Netflix deal.
