Netflix News? Meghan Doing Cookery and Harry Telling Us All About Polo.

600 BC that is!

And polo is a no-no.
I'm trying to work out whether it is like hockey on a horse 🏒 or like croquet?

the man goes out doing big brave man things like riding big horses

The horses, referred to as ponies because they are only just over the max height of 14.2hh, are usually too small for their riders who can’t play if they are far from the ground.

They have to be strong, fast and turn on a sixpence. They are nearly always over bitted and their mouths are yanked in all directions by their riders. No wonder they tire and have to be swapped before the match is over. Prince Philip was notoriously hard on his ponies.

It’s a dangerous game but not just for the riders.

Prince Phillip had a polo manager Ron Ferguson who later became polo manager to Charles.

How nicely gender sterotyped these offerings are.

The little woman is sweetly domestic, while the man goes out doing big brave man things like riding big horses and wielding mallets and, if the papers, (and Jilly Cooper) are to be believed, this comes with a raunchy social scene away from the pitch (most of the time)

Classic! 😃

Do you think there’s a market for a TV channel showing an older couple, him sorting the recycling bin and her cleaning out the cats’ litter box? Asking for a friend, obvs.

The real world *SueDonim ?

How about Harry showing his domestic side, cooking meals a deux for him and his missus and doing the children's laundry while, given she isn't a rider, she talks about cars in her life.

Does she drive ,no matter,it would be rather brief though

Now, if it was her sorting the recycling while he was stirring the gravy and sipping a sherry, there might be a market for that!

Her cleaning the cats litter box followed by her sorting the recycling, I know not nice to say , but great to watch

The real world *SueDonim ?

Oh yes! My…ahem…friends would be of course be their natural selves, she in her designer frock and heels and him in his velvet tuxedo. You know, the sort of thing people wear to go to Aldi.

I think that I'll give it a miss .
I can cook and I know about polo ponies : apart from that - I find them both boring .
Just watching them on Oprah was enough for me .

Yes, Meghan drives. Have seen her at the wheel on a documentary when she was a jobbing actress.

Didn’t she have to climb out through the boot or something, as her door didn’t work and she couldn’t afford to get it fixed?

(Pre Harry days, obviously).

She could certainly afford to get her car fixed now. Gone from saving the world to reality tv

I wish they’d team up with their royal in laws and do another episode of It’s a Knockout. I watched their 1987 programme recently and it’s hilarious. It would surely be a Netflix blockbuster 😀

Many enjoyed watching it at the times, gosh nearly 40 years ago.

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

No Annie, it’s an opinion. Everyone’s allowed one.
I don’t like Meghan or Harry, and so I don’t follow either of them. I only know what she wore from this thread. Was she watching Harry play polo?
When my son got married I bought some funny little clear plastic things to put on my heels to stop me from sinking into the grass. I wore them again at my daughter’s wedding. I can’t wear those shoes now, they fit, but aren’t really comfortable on my poor old feet.

I think Meghan has missed a trick here.

She loves dogs. She goes to rescue centres.

This may be the one thing that the British would be interested in. We really don't need to see yet another cooking show.

Do something with dogs, M.

Maddy she was there to give the prize, so Megan, she took centre stage for photographs and even told other guests and doctor of the where to stand

Is that not the usual routine at their polo matches? I’m sure I’ve seen photos of Catherine presenting the polo trophy to William and also Diana presenting it to Charles.

Doubt you have seen them directing where others should stand
for photographs and keeping themselves centre , she actually
physically controlled them

Spiteful and petty

Truthful
