prince harry and Meghan Markle are executive producers of Netflix’s newest sports series titled Polobut do they appear in the show?
The answer is yes – the Duke and Duchess of Sussex do make a brief appearance. Harry traveled to Wellington, Floridafor Sentebale Polo Cuphis annual charity polo match. Him and a close friend Nacho Figueras (who is featured prominently in the show as the legendary polo player) were filmed competing in a charity match, and Meghan was there to honor the winner. Harry and his Royal Salute Sentebale team won the tournament.
Sentebale is Harry’s non-profit organization that raises money for vulnerable communities in Africa. The organization’s senior management was moved to South Africa in December 2024 as viewers watched the charity event at the Polo, which premiered that month.
“The charity event actually happened to be in Wellington this year. It was a perfect coincidence that all of this was happening,” said showrunner Polo Miloš Baláč he said My Weekly exclusively. “I’m really glad we were able to put on this event because Nacho was such a key part of this entire project from day one.”
Many polo athletes got the chance to play against the Duke of Sussex in the Sentebale match. And for those new to the world of polo, keep scrolling to see which of the sport’s biggest stars can be seen on the Netflix show:
The polo legend has been called one of the greatest polo players of all time. The athlete, who is 50 years old, has already amassed quite a resume when it comes to winning in sports. However, he revealed that he will compete with his own son at the 2024 US Open to see which Cambiaso comes out on top.
“The Cambiaso story naturally stands out as an anomaly in sports in general,” said showrunner Balać Our. “Having a father and son competing against each other intergenerationally. … In the world of polo, there is a real buzz about it. Fathers and sons and mothers and daughters will play together and against each other. I don’t know of any other sport where that’s even possible.”
Aspiring champion Poroto follows in his father’s footsteps to become a master polo player. At the age of 19, he is already highly regarded as a player.
“To see Adolfo and Porota Cambiaso play – as two of the greatest players to ever play the sport – against each other and be related in the way they are as father and son was really special,” Balać said. “It doesn’t really matter in the show.”
Devaleix is a bit of a newcomer to the world of polo, having started playing the sport in his 40s after growing up as a golfer. He is married Pamela Flanagan Devaleix (Bachelor alum Kelley Flanagan‘s sister) and the show follows a couple as they prepare to welcome their first child.
Balać said Our that Devaleix’s story is one that viewers “can pick up on” even if they aren’t interested in “horses or sports” because they actually depict “a couple dealing with pregnancy and the stresses and joys it brings.”
Another father-son story, The Dutta Family features polo team patron Tim Dutta and his son, 22-year-old player Timmy.
“These are people who had a lot to share and were willing to share it,” Balać said Our about the family aspects of the show.
Magrini is also one of the up-and-coming players to watch throughout the series. In addition to working on the polo field as an eighteen-year-old, the audience will also see how the athlete balances his personal relationships.
