Prince Harry is set to release a new series following the world of professional polo, a sport close to the duke’s heart

US journalist Lee Cohen has been left fuming over Prince Harry's documentary and pointed out the "irony" of a Netflix documentary on "the sport of Kings."

Prince Harry is set to release a new series following the world of professional polo, a sport close to the duke’s heart.


The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have a $100million deal with the streaming giant and have already released the docuseries Harry & Meghan, Heart of Invictus and Live to Lead.

Speaking to GBN America Cohen said: "Well, what I have to say about that is polo is the sport of Kings.

"Harry and his wife withdrew from the Royal Family and savaged its members made damaging allegations against them.

"So Harry and the sport of Kings? Harry who doesn't seem to terribly respect the tradition of his birthright and the sport of kings?

"There is miraculous irony in this only made possible by the world-beating hypocrisy of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex."

Cohen also discussed the prince's change of residence after he has updated his official business records in this country to say he resides in the US rather than the UK.

Speaking to Nana Akua on GBN America Cohen said: "Harry is free to live wherever he wants, but it's really staggering.

"It's staggering that a prince of the blood has declared residence in another country, my country, and has no domicile in the land of his birth, and even has considered taking citizenship in a foreign country.

"Which is family, which is a part of a beloved thousand-year pillar of British society. It's not any family.

"For financial gain, he launched unforgivable public attacks on them, published in his memoirs and accompanying interviews.

"That kind of behaviour isn't appreciated on this side of the Atlantic anymore than it is on your side."

He added: "I have to make the caveat that not everyone, not all of my countrymen and women, feel this way.

"But those of us who don't read the tabloid, supermarket press are a bit more discerning in this.

"On the one hand, Harry claims to still love his family dearly, as he said in interviews, etc. But in his autobiography, he savages them mercilessly, so it's really not appreciated. The hypocrisy is not appreciated some of us just find it intolerable."
