The sum whole of my data of polo quantities to 1 late-night viewing of Fairly Lady (key takeaways: put on polka dots, resist “Come on, Dover”ing, keep away from Jason Alexander), so I gained’t try and weigh in on what occurred in the course of the Royal Salute Polo Problem match on Friday. What I’ll level out is that it raised funds for each Prince Harry’s charity Sentebale and each tabloid below the Murdoch umbrella because of images of Meghan presenting Harry with each a kiss and what I’m pretty sure is the Triwizard Match trophy. (“You’re a Windsor, Harry.”) For what it’s price, in the event you, like me, nonetheless don’t perceive why ponies don’t get extra credit score for doing all of the onerous work in polo, there’s hope; as a part of the Sussexes’—very underreported—take care of Netflix, Harry is making a docuseries supposed to light up the game as soon as described by Sylvester Stallone as “like attempting to play golf throughout an earthquake,” with cameras trailing the senior-but-“not-working” royal all through his stint on the East Coast.
