- New Netflix series
In a new five-part Netflix documentary, Prince Harry delves deep into the world of polo and explores the complex dynamics that arise when competing against family members. The Duke of Sussex, who has played both with and against his father, King Charles, reflects on the challenges and joys of this unique competition.
Insights into Prince Harry's polo experiences
In a conversation with Argentinian professional polo player Adolfo Cambiaso, Harry discusses Cambiaso's experience of competing with his 18-year-old son, Poroto. Prince Harry praises the special bond created by playing sport together and asks, "Yeah, but what's it like playing against your kid?" Cambiaso replies, "It's difficult. And worse when you lose."
Prince Harry’s next words make us sit up and take notice: "You're proud, but also angry." Is the prince speaking from experience here? Harry's competitive attitude, particularly towards winning, could have caused tension between him and his father, Charles.
