To be able to have him as someone to bounce ideas off of and then also to get notes from...

'Maybe if you edit it like this, the polo will just feel even more exciting. Or you got to make sure that the point is played out like this because that's how you keep it factually accurate.' "To have a polo expert in-house with him was so special.

I think a lot of projects have EPs that can give great notes, but it's rare that you have someone who's truly an expert in the subject that you are documenting." The Duke of Sussex has long been an avid polo player. Mr Balać added that the duchess was very keen on the show capturing "the welcoming energy of the sideline scene".

He also said that it was actually Meghan Markle who prepared him for polo, which can be a "wonderfully casual" sport. He added: "Sunday polo on Field One at the U.S.

Polo Center is a big to-do where people have champagne brunches and come with their beautiful outfits. But the rest of the week, every polo match is actually so down to earth. "They're there not to see and be seen, but to enjoy the sport that they really care about and people show up to that for free and you just pull up and she said that that's what she loves.

" "She also loves tailgating at a polo match, and that just sort of set a lightbulb in my head where I was like, 'Oh, this world is really not going to be what I think it is, in a good way," the showrunner continues. "And we were able to then dig deeper into all the ways that it isn't what people assume it is." POLO is now available to watch on Netflix .
