Prince Harry's apparent Netflix 'no show' leaves bosses 'disappointed' amid 'tensions'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Prince Harry's decision to step away from the limelight in his latest Netflix series about the world of high-stakes polo is rumoured to have set off alarm bells for the streaming giant's executives.

Today it emerged that the Duke of Sussex's minimal presence in the new five-part documentary has reportedly caused a stir, especially since the show seems to star his friend Nacho Figueras rather than himself.The rift appears to be growing as sources claim that the highly anticipated project from Harry and Meghan Markle has ended up spotlighting Figueras more than the Duke, who, along with his wife, signed a hefty £80million contract with Netflix possibly expecting more intimate content and revelations.According to the Daily Mail, the original expectation was for an insider view featuring Harry prominently, but instead, the series turned its attention to the Argentine polo star Figueras, celebrated within the sport as 'the David Beckham of polo'.

Despite Figueras' status in polo, he lacks the global fascination enjoyed by Harry and Meghan, which might explain why insiders at Netflix reportedly feel disappointed with the end product.READ MORE: Prince Harry's unusual daily school routine included getting his hair washed for himThe source contended that the top brass at Netflix had hoped for "more bang for its buck" from the deal with the Royal couple.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, previously from the cast of "Suits," are behind the production of a new series titled 'Polo,' set to launch in December as executive producers.
