Harry and Meghan executive produced the docuseries about the fast-paced and demanding world of polo, which they hope will help break stereotypes about the sport.

Set during the 2024 US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, the Netflix show also includes moments from the 2024 Sentebale Polo Cup, an annual match benefitting Sentebale, the organization Prince Harry co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to help vulnerable children in Lesotho and Botswana, including those living with HIV/AIDS and mental health challenges.

Harry played in this year’s event and was joined by some of polo’s greatest players, including Argentina’s Adolfo Cambiaso.

In a candid moment, the Duke of Sussex introduces Cambiaso, 49, to Meghan, who begins conversing with the pro in his native Spanish.

Cambiaso begins the encounter by offering his hand to the Duchess, which she then counters with a hug.

“She’s fluent in Spanish,” Harry, a life-long polo player, told the pro.

“I lived there about 20 years ago,” Markle then said in Spanish, referring to Cambiaso’s home country of Argentina.

Markle interned at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires while she was a student at Northwestern University.

The American Riviera Orchard entrepreneur also shared that she lived in the Palermo Viejo and Las Cañitas in neighborhoods of the Argentine capital.

“That’s great. That’s where the polo fields were,” Cambiaso said of Las Cañitas.

Markle replied, “Yes, but I love the 25th of May.”

“Yeah? That’s great. Cool,” the polo player added.

The 25th of May is a national holiday in Argentina that commemorates the beginning of the country’s move to become an independent state.

Returning to English, Cambiaso then asked Harry if he speaks Spanish. “Yes,” Meghan answered for him with a laugh.

“He knows I don’t,” the prince butted in before the three of them shared a chuckle.

The showrunner of “Polo,” Miloš Balać, told The Post that Harry and Meghan are trying to shift perspectives on the sport with this docuseries.

“I think the collective intention was definitely, definitely to grow the audience of polo,” he explained.

“It really is a lifestyle that I think more people can maybe embrace than they might think.”
