Nacho Figueras Talks ‘Dear Friend’ Prince Harry's 'Polo' Documentary

Prince Harry’s Polo documentary is coming to Netflix later this year.

Netflix announced in September that the docuseries would be dropping in December and gave a little teaser about the game played on horseback.

“POLO is a new documentary series that follows elite global players and offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced world of the sport,” Netflix wrote via X at the time.

Netflix also shared four first look photos of the documentary. One still included a shot of three polo players sporting team La Dolfina jerseys, on horseback. The second shot showed off a man tending to a horse in a stable. The third picture featured an action shot from a game where two athletes were wrestling for the ball. The last one showed off a brown horse making its way to the field.

Everything We Know About Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Netflix Deal

The streamer added that Polo was created by Boardwalk Pictures and Archewell Productions, which is the production company Harry founded with wife Meghan Markle.

The couple have a long history with Netflix as they signed a deal with the company. They released their tell-all docuseries Harry & Meghan on the streamer in December 2022. In April, Deadline reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had two nonfiction series in the works with Netflix.

While Meghan would be working on a cooking and lifestyle-esque show, Harry’s series would follow the world of professional polo specifically in the U.S. Open Polo Championship. That same month, Harry was spotted with a film crew at the sporting event.

What Is ‘Polo’ About?

When Does ‘Polo’ Come Out?

Does Prince Harry Make an Appearance in ‘Polo’?

While Harry considered himself an amateur polo player for years, it is unclear if he will take a step in front of the camera for Polo. Harry and Meghan attended one day of the U.S. Open Polo Championship together. However, Meghan was not seemingly not involved in the filming process as Harry was spotted on-site with a crew on a different day during the tournament.

Is Nacho Figueras Involved in ‘Polo’?

Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras is a professional polo player and one of Prince Harry’s close friends. Figueras played polo alongside the Duke of Sussex in April at the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup, where documentary cameras were rolling.

“I have always wanted to introduce polo to a wider audience,” Figueras told People in April. “Prince Harry and I have talked about polo for years. The production company is incredible, and Netflix has a huge platform to reach the biggest hearts in the world. I am happy to be involved and think this is a great opportunity for the sport.”

Figueras gushed about working with “dear friend” Harry during a separate interview with People in October.

“It’s an honor to do anything with him,” he said. “This is more his project than it is mine. It’s an honor to know that I was able to help.”

Figueras added: “The show is not about me. It’s not about him … So we’ve been working very hard on it and we’re very excited about the outcome.”
