As Harry filmed his passion project—a polo documentary for Netflix—in the English countryside, he hoped to step out of the royal shadow and showcase his filmmaking talents. But Meghan's insistence on accompanying him threatened to derail the production from the start.
The original plan was simple: Harry would immerse viewers in the sport and its rich history. Scheduled for November release, it was to premiere just in time for the holidays.

However, Meghan's unwavering desire to be by Harry's side added an unexpected layer of complexity. Her involvement compromised the efficient filming schedule Harry envisioned leading solo.
Accommodations, transportation, locations—everything now required coordinating for both Sussexes, significantly increasing time and resources.

"It's been a constant back-and-forth," a source close to production revealed. "Harry just wants to focus on the sport, but Meghan keeps inserting herself, making it all about her involvement. It's causing delays and budget issues."
With the original November date now in jeopardy, Netflix executives grew impatient as delays mounted. Adding to worries, the Sussexes' Archwell cooking show stalled alongside rising public frustration over unfulfilled promises.

"The company has invested a lot in the Sussexes but isn't seeing returns hoped for," the insider said of Netflix. "A teaser is being considered to gauge interest, but focus may shift from content to Meghan criticism."

A troubling pattern emerged—Harry seemingly thrived independently but struggled balancing Meghan's demands. The polo documentary gave him room untethered from scrutiny surrounding her, but she ensured joint involvement whether he wanted it or not.

"Harry is genuinely excited but Meghan muddied the waters by constantly inserting herself," the source pointed out.
While allowing Harry participation in her ventures, Meghan rarely extended the same courtesy, undermining his autonomy over independent pursuits. The polo film became "her baby" too despite being Harry's personal project.

As the Sussexes navigate Netflix challenges, questions remain over whether Meghan's controlling behavior jeopardizes plans or breeds tensions within the team and beyond.
For now, it seems Harry's potential for success and freedom to showcase talents away from the monarchy remains constrained wherever Meghan insists upon leading from the front—even in projects meant solely for him.
