Meghan and Prince Harry’s new Netflix polo series has launched with an unusually quiet rollout, marking a departure from their typically high-profile releases.
The series has notably lacked the traditional press promotion associated with Sussex-linked content.
The couple did not conduct any interviews to advertise the series either together or individually.
It comes as Meghan and Harry have decided to separate their professional lives by making solo public appearances.

Industry expert Sean McNulty, a Hollywood veteran, told The Daily Beast: “The lack of a proper, visible press campaign for a series from Harry & Meghan raises an eyebrow to say the least.”
Netflix appears to be prioritising other major content this week, including Carry-On and specials featuring Jamie Foxx and Sabrina Carpenter.
According to McNulty, this suggests the polo series “could very well disappear into the Netflix ether quite quickly.”
The silence extends to the Sussexes’ usual promotional network, with even close friends maintaining an unusually low profile.

Nacho Figueras, often dubbed the David Beckham of polo and a star of the show, limited his promotion to a few tweets and one Instagram story.
The poor reviews that Prince Harry and Meghan’s latest Netflix venture has received could jeopardise their deal with the platform, a brand expert has claimed.
Speaking to MailOnline, brand expert Nick Ede expressed concerns about the documentary’s reception.
“The new polo documentary hasn’t received good reviews, and this is another foray into producing from Meghan and Harry,” he said.

Ede warned that the show’s performance in Netflix’s top ten would be crucial.
“It could, like the Invictus documentary, start well due to the public’s fascination with the pair and with polo potentially,” he noted.
However, he suggested it would likely struggle against popular Christmas content.
“With very little airtime, we don’t get to see the pair much and also hardly any PR around the series, this looks like it’s Oh No! Rather than Polo!” Ede added.
