You might miss her if you blink. Meghan Markle made a quick appearance in the fifth and final episode of her and Prince Harry's new Netflix documentary series "Polo," which was released on Tuesday.
The former "Suits" actress, now 43, was there to support her husband at the Sentebale Polo Challenge in Wellington, Florida, alongside her friend Serena Williams. After the match, which took place in April, Meghan presented Harry with a trophy, and the couple shared a kiss.
Harry and Meghan served as executive producers for the docuseries, which delves into the fast-paced and demanding world of polo. They hope the series will help change public perceptions about the sport.
Set during the 2024 US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, the Netflix show also features moments from the 2024 Sentebale Polo Cup. This annual event benefits Sentebale, the organization Prince Harry co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to support vulnerable children in Lesotho and Botswana, including those living with HIV/AIDS and mental health challenges.
Harry participated in this year's event and was joined by some of polo's top players, including Argentina's Adolfo Cambiaso. In a candid moment, the Duke of Sussex introduced Cambiaso, 49, to Meghan, who began conversing with the professional in his native Spanish.
Cambiaso started the interaction by offering his hand to the Duchess, which she responded to with a hug. "She's fluent in Spanish," Harry, a lifelong polo player, told Cambiaso. "I lived there about 20 years ago," Markle said in Spanish, referring to Cambiaso's home country of Argentina. Markle interned at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires while she was a student at Northwestern University.
The American Riviera Orchard entrepreneur also mentioned that she lived in the Palermo Viejo and Las Cañitas neighborhoods of the Argentine capital. "That's great. That's where the polo fields were," Cambiaso said about Las Cañitas. Markle replied, "Yes, but I love the 25th of May." "Yeah? That's great. Cool," the polo player added.
The 25th of May is a national holiday in Argentina that marks the beginning of the country's journey to independence. Switching back to English, Cambiaso asked Harry if he speaks Spanish. "Yes," Meghan answered for him with a laugh. "He knows I don't," the prince interjected before the three of them shared a chuckle.
Miloš Balać, the showrunner of "Polo," told The Post that Harry and Meghan are aiming to change perspectives on the sport with this docuseries. "I think the collective intention was definitely, definitely to grow the audience of polo," he explained. "It really is a lifestyle that I think more people can maybe embrace than they might think."
