Are Netflix getting their moneysworth out of the Division Two royals?

Who goes to a polo match in very high stilettos and wearing a flowing white gown

Well, Harry has at least had experience of playing Polo.

Anniebach Sat 13-Apr-24 14:42:09

Is it a popular sport in America

Has Meghan boiled so much as a kettle recently?

Joseann Sat 13-Apr-24 15:54:07

Oh come on, Anniebach, don't you know that Ralph Lauren, (Lifshitz?), built a whole designer clothing empire around the polo playing set? Lots of his dresses for polo matches are white and in the signature preppy style.
I'll agree that stilettos aren't really acceptable though. Think of sinking into the grass!

Joseann Sat 13-Apr-24 15:55:20

Come to think of it, I'd like to hear more about polo from Harry. Sweaty bodies, sex, and champagne! 🍾 🥂

Joseann Sat 13-Apr-24 15:56:03

But not if the horses are treated badly. 😥

Joseann Sat 13-Apr-24 15:57:00

Or are they ponies?

Anniebach Sat 13-Apr-24 16:09:41

Does Harry have 2 - 4 horses and a groom, needed for the polo
playing set , and William watches football!

Joseann Sat 13-Apr-24 16:23:54

Winston Churchill was an accomplished polo player I believe.

What is your point?

Anniebach Sat 13-Apr-24 16:26:17

One watches polo one watches football, strange question

I don’t really see Meghan ‘divot stamping’ but you never know. 😂

I'm thinking of dropping Netflix as it's pretty rubbish these days so question what I'm paying for. I have no interest in Polo or Meghan so highly unlikely I'll watch either.

Many women do, actually - and yes, I have been to polo matches where women were wearing very similar outfits.

Joseann Sat 13-Apr-24 16:45:37

à la Julia Roberts. Didn't she do some divot stomping with heels in Pretty Woman?

hollysteers Sat 13-Apr-24 16:46:08

Very judgmental Anniebach. I’m not a fan of Meghan, but she can wear whatever she blinking well wants to!

Anniebach Sat 13-Apr-24 16:48:44

It’s judgemental to say one does not like a dress !

MissInterpreted Sat 13-Apr-24 17:23:52

Some people just can't pass up the opportunity to have a go at her.

Anniebach Sat 13-Apr-24 17:33:57

Disliking a dress is have a go at her! No I dislike the dress

NotTooOld Sat 13-Apr-24 18:39:00

What do you think the polo players thought of H turning up with a Netflix film crew in tow?

MissInterpreted Sat 13-Apr-24 18:47:51

They're called polo ponies, but technically speaking, they are horses - very expensive horses at that, and they are looked after very well.

Anniebach Sat 13-Apr-24 18:53:47

Are the ponies rented out ?

Are the ponies rented out ?

In some cases, yes.
