Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are producing two new projects for Netflix, including one that will explore the world of professional polo and another featuring Markle’s cooking and gardening, according to reports.
It’s the latest step in the US$100mil (RM477.6mil) deal that Harry and his Archewell Productions company signed with the streamer in 2020.
The announcement comes in the footsteps of Markle’s recently launched lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which she revealed in her return to Instagram last month after a four-year hiatus.
Markle, 42, filed a trademark for the company back in February that indicated plans to sell a variety of home goods and culinary products.
Her new Netflix series will focus on “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining and friendship,” according to the streaming company.
Harry, 39, is expected to be heavily involved in the other series, which will shoot at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida.
Netflix said the show will provide “unprecedented access to the world of professional polo,” a favourite pastime of the royal.
“Known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene, the series will pull the curtain back on the grit and passion of the sport, capturing players and all it takes to compete at the highest level,” Netflix said in a statement to The Guardian.
