The project is related to Prince Harry's previous interest in polo, a discipline he has practiced for several years, including participation in charity matches. Furthermore, it is linked to Prince Harry's project, POLO, a docuseries released in 2024 on the same platform, also set in Wellington and focused on this sport. The collaboration between the couple and Netflix is part of a long-term production agreement that includes the development of film and television content. Among the projects included in this agreement are adaptations of literary works such as The Wedding Date, by Jasmine Guillory, and Meet Me at the Lake, written by Carley Fortune, the latter with a director already assigned, according to reports. The announcement of the new project occurs in a context in which versions about the relationship between the couple and the platform have circulated. Some reports pointed out possible tensions, which have been rejected by both Netflix representatives and spokespersons for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Among the background mentioned in these reports is the interview the couple gave in 2021 to Oprah Winfrey, in the context of their decision to step down from their duties within the British royal family and move to California. Reference has also been made to the 2023 publication of Spare , a work in which Prince Harry addresses aspects of his personal life and his experience within the royal family. In response to these versions, Netflix's content director, Bela Bajaria, publicly pointed out that not all the information disseminated should be taken as true, and called for verification of the data before its dissemination. The first project the Duke and Duchess of Sussex premiered with the platform was Harry & Meghan, a documentary series divided into six episodes that presents a journey through the couple's relationship, from its beginnings to their departure from institutional life in the United Kingdom.
