Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently attended a charity polo match in Florida to support Sentebale, a charity founded by Harry in 2006 for children in Africa dealing with HIV and AIDS. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen at the event hand-in-hand, with Markle looking chic in a cream halter dress and Harry sporting a summer-ready outfit of white pants and a light grey blazer. Harry even participated in the charity match, while Markle looked on proudly from the crowd. This event came just after news broke that the couple was working on a Netflix project about polo, which will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the sport.
The new Netflix project, still untitled, will focus on the aesthetic and social scene of polo, as well as the grit and passion that comes with competing at the highest level. While it is unclear if cameras were present at the recent charity match, Harry is not expected to star in the series but may make a few cameos. Meanwhile, Markle is busy working on her own lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard, along with a non-fiction series celebrating cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship. She aims to compete with famous lifestyle icons like Ina Garten, Martha Stewart, and Joanna Gaines, although some individuals worry about her willingness to reveal her private life.
The Duchess of Sussex’s new venture into the lifestyle realm has not surprised many in Hollywood, but there are concerns about her willingness to fully share her life to achieve success in the industry. Those who have excelled in the lifestyle arena have often been transparent about their personal lives, sharing their biggest secrets and allowing viewers into their private spaces. Markle’s upcoming series may need to strike a balance between authenticity and privacy in order to resonate with audiences. It remains to be seen how she will navigate the challenges of competing with established lifestyle icons while maintaining her own unique brand identity.
Markle’s passion for cooking, gardening, and hosting has been apparent, and she hopes to channel that passion into her new projects. As for Harry, his focus continues to be on polo and his charity work, using his platform to raise awareness and support for causes he is passionate about. The couple’s joint efforts in both charity work and entertainment projects showcase their commitment to using their influence for positive change. With their individual endeavors in the works, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are carving out their own paths in the world of philanthropy and pop culture, while still supporting each other in their respective pursuits.
