Prince Harry is hard at work on his polo-focused Netflix series.
On April 13, the Duke of Sussex, 39, was spotted at the National Polo Center in Wellington, Florida, with a film crew capturing footage for one of his and Meghan Markle’s recently announced projects for the streaming platform.
Earlier this week, the couple’s Archewell Productions revealed they have two new Netflix series in the “early stages” of production as part of a multiyear deal. One show will “provide viewers unprecedented access to the world of professional polo,” and the other will “celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship,” according to a press release.
The Duke of Sussex went under the radar on Saturday, dressed in black jeans and a grey T-shirt, while working behind the scenes alongside the film crew as they captured a US Open quarterfinal match.
