Nacho Figueras, Prince Harry's close friend and frequent polo partner, may be quietly distancing himself from the Duke of Sussex and his upcoming Netflix documentary.
This is the same Nacho who once publicly supported Harry and spoke fondly of their close friendship, even referring to their bond as a "bromance." Now, however, rumors are circulating that Nacho is steering clear of Harry's latest polo-themed Netflix project. Recently, Nacho took to Instagram to showcase his stunning new polo facility in Argentina's picturesque Pampas region.
The facility, a marvel of modern design, features sleek architecture, expansive stables for 44 polo horses, and even rooftop grazing for the horses. Its luxurious ambiance reflects Nacho’s status as a polo star and the wealth of his wife, Delfina Blaquier, a renowned socialite. Meanwhile, Harry may have once thought he struck gold when he married Meghan Markle, but reality hit hard when it turned out that the former actress wasn't quite the financial powerhouse he may have imagined. In contrast, Nacho's polo facility, built from durable concrete and local wood, is a testament to both wealth and taste. The serene water features and native grasses adorning the roof create a highbrow, glamorous atmosphere—one that contrasts sharply with the documentary Harry is reportedly working on, which seems to be facing challenges, including rumors that Nacho doesn't want his footage included.
The irony is clear: Harry and Meghan, who often appear to be seeking favors and free opportunities, may have lost the support of one of their closest allies. The once-strong "Harry-Nacho bromance" appears to be faltering. Could it be that Nacho and his wife, Delfina, have finally seen through the Sussexes' constant requests and self-promotion? As Nacho continues to thrive, living a glamorous life filled with polo and high society, Harry and Meghan seem to be left behind.
Speaking of Delfina, her once-close friendship with Meghan also appears to be cooling. Rumors suggest that the two women, once seen as inseparable "polo wives," have drifted apart. Delfina was recently spotted living her best life in the Hamptons, attending a Goop pop-up event with Gwyneth Paltrow, while Meghan was conspicuously absent. Some speculate that Delfina has realized Meghan’s offers, like a free ticket to a book event or a homemade olive oil cake, may not hold the kind of high-powered networking opportunities one would expect from someone of Meghan’s supposed influence.
Adding to the drama, Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop empire continues to thrive, recently securing a significant investment for a new Goop Kitchen venture. Meanwhile, Meghan's elusive brand is reportedly being rebranded before it even officially launches. If that doesn’t encapsulate the Sussexes' ongoing struggle to remain relevant, it’s hard to say what does.
The constant cycle of favors and requests from Harry and Meghan has become a well-known pattern. By now, the couple should have been bringing prestige and opportunities to their circles, yet it seems they are doing the opposite. Rather than uplifting those around them, they are constantly seeking assistance—whether it's footage for their Netflix documentary, borrowing ponies for polo games, or requesting shout-outs on social media. This dynamic has led to speculation that figures like Delfina and Nacho are distancing themselves from the couple. After all, what's in it for them? A homemade cake and a playful nickname hardly seem like a fair exchange for their time and resources.
It seems even Nacho, with his fabulous new polo facilities, has realized that aligning too closely with the Sussexes might not be the best career move. As Harry and Meghan continue to struggle for relevance in Montecito, Nacho and Delfina are thriving, enjoying their lives in Argentina and the Hamptons without any apparent need for their royal connections. Could this be the beginning of yet another friendship fizzling out for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex? Only time will tell, but the signs seem clear.
