Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are producing two new projects for Netflix, including one that will explore the world of profession­al polo and another featuring Markle’s cooking and gardening, according to reports.

It’s the latest step in the $100 million deal that Harry and his Archewell

Production­s company signed with the streamer in 2020.

The announceme­nt comes in the footsteps of Markle’s recently launched lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard,

which she revealed in her return to Instagram recently after a four-year hiatus.

Markle, 42, filed a trademark for the company in February that indicated plans to sell a variety of home goods and culinary products.

Her new Netflix series will focus on “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaini­ng and friendship,” according to the streaming company.

Harry, 39, is expected to be heavily involved in the other series, which will shoot at the U.S. Open Polo Championsh­ip in Wellington, Florida.

Netflix said the show will provide “unpreceden­ted access to the world of profession­al polo,” a favorite pastime of the royal.

“Known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene, the series will pull the curtain back on the grit and passion of the sport, capturing players and all it takes to compete at the highest level,” Netflix said in a statement to The Guardian.

Both shows are currently untitled.
