The Duke of Sussex's contract with Netflix expires next year

Prince Harry's new Netflix series will be released on Netflix one month after Prince William's documentary hits Disney+.

The documentary Prince William: We Can End Homelessness will be broadcast in the UK on Wednesday and Thursday and will be available to international audiences on Disney+ from Friday, November 1.


During an interview for the two-part documentary, the Prince of Wales offered an olive branch to his brother despite their royal feud.

Meanwhile, the Duke of Sussex's latest move in the Sussexes' partnership with Netflix is hugely disappointing, according to a source.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a lucrative deal with the streaming giant in 2020 after stepping down as working royals.

Polo, a five-part series co-produced by Prince Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Productions is set to be released in December.

However, a source has said that Harry will not feature heavily in the programme.

Instead, it will centre around Harry's close friend, polo player, Nacho Figueras.

A source told the Mail: "Any reasonable person tuning into a show about polo made by Prince Harry would expect Harry to take a starring role.

"That he’s not is hugely disappointing for Netflix. Let's face it, polo isn't exactly a mainstream sport so the attraction would have been watching Harry. Without him, it's marginal at best.

"The Netflix deal expires next year, so the Sussexes need a big hit. This sounds like a big nothing burger."

Another insider said: "For a show about a sport of kings, polo barely features any royalty. It’s not the Harry show, it’s the Nacho show."

The Sussexes' debut series Harry & Meghan was a huge hit on the streaming platform and broke several Netflix records.

However, it has been over a year and a half since its release in December 2022 and the couple have not produced another joint project for Netflix.

Harry did release Heart of the Invictus in 2023 but it failed to reach the same level of success as their debut docuseries.
