A friend of the ex-working royals responded to the takedowns by observing, “You do see plenty of rich kids but there are also plenty of kids from less rarefied backgrounds who just happen to be fantastic riders who are sponsored by the teams. It doesn’t look like this show is going to foreground that, which is a real missed opportunity.”

Kate, Princess of Wales, announced the end of her successful cancer treatments in a cinematic video in early September showcasing images of herself, Prince William and their three children. Only hours later, a teaser tweet on X from Netflix about POLO dropped, leading many to wonder if it could be yet another coincidence.

Although it is unknown if the streamer tease was timed to coincide with Her Royal Highness’ video, one commenter on X shared, “F— off you losers with your unwatchable trash. I’m sure you will release it during Catherine’s Christmas special. Boycott Netflix!”

The Princess of Wales’ annual “Together at Christmas” concert will occur on December 6 with Harry’s new show dropping on the streamer four days later on December 10.
