Meghan Markle didn't just attend the charity polo match in Palm Beach, Miami; she brought star power along.
With a Netflix camera crew documenting the event, the spotlight shone bright as Serena Williams joined Meghan and Prince Harry for the occasion. The trio, down in Miami for filming, was not just spectating; they were part of the action, attending the Royal Salute Polo Challenge on Friday.
This new venture is just one of the projects Meghan and Harry are working on for Netflix. The photos reveal Harry fully geared up for polo, ready to take to the field and make some impressive plays, all while the cameras capture every moment. Meanwhile, Meghan exuded summer vibes, her skirt swaying in the breeze, adding a touch of elegance to the event. Serena Williams, the tennis legend, added her own flair to the scene, her outfit a burst of color compared to Meghan's more understated attire.
Meghan's PR agency confirmed that Serena watched the matches from the team tent, later joining Meghan and Delphia, a black mare, as they made their way onto the field for the trophy ceremony. Despite the long day under the sun, the trio couldn't contain their smiles, basking in the camaraderie of the moment.
While Serena lives near Miami, making her attendance at the polo match convenient, sources close to her mother, Oracene Price, revealed that Meghan paid $2,000 to ensure Serena's presence. Allegations of a transactional friendship emerged, suggesting Serena's appearance was more about supporting Meghan's image than genuine camaraderie.
Amidst the glitz and glamour, Meghan's desire to be part of the polo documentary is evident, with her strategically positioning herself for the cameras. Body language expert Judy James noted Meghan's moments of apparent unease, contrasting with Harry's confidence. Yet, Meghan's choice of footwear, killer heels unsuitable for grass, raised eyebrows, especially during the traditional divot stomping.
Despite the scrutiny, the charity aspect of the event remained paramount, with Serena likely committed to attending before Meghan and Harry's Netflix venture took shape. As the cameras continue to roll, capturing every moment, it's clear that this polo match was more than just a sporting event; it was a stage for alliances, friendships, and perhaps a touch of strategic maneuvering.
