Meghan Markle is proving (once again) that she’s a woman of many talents—and her new Netflix docuseries Polo is the latest reminder.

The five-episode series, produced by Markle and Prince Harry’s Archewell Productions, premiered Tuesday on Netflix and follows some of the world’s top polo players on their journey to the 2024 U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida. Along the way, viewers also get a front-row seat to Prince Harry, 40, in action during the Royal Salute Polo Challenge this past April, a charity event benefiting his organization, Sentebale.

But it’s Markle, 43, who steals the show during a sideline moment where she puts her Spanish-speaking skills on full display.

During the match, Markle greeted legendary Argentinian polo player Adolfo Cambiaso, who was on Harry’s team. Harry, clearly proud, chimed in, “She’s fluent in Spanish.”

“Really?” Cambiaso asked in Spanish before he and Markle began chatting in the language. The Duchess of Sussex shared that she lived in Buenos Aires 20 years ago while interning at the U.S. Embassy during her time at Northwestern University. She lived in Palermo Viejo and Las Cañitas, which Cambiaso noted were near the polo fields. The former Suits actress also mentioned her fondness for Argentina’s national day (May 25).

When Cambiaso turned to Prince Harry and asked if he spoke Spanish, Markle couldn’t help but laugh, playfully adding, “Yes,” while putting her arm on her husband. Harry quickly confessed, “He knows I don’t! Well, yes. A little, a little.”

On top of the Spanish-speaking spotlight, the documentary also serves up some adorable couple moments between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. When Markle presented Prince Harry with a trophy after the match, the two shared a swoon-worthy sweet kiss.

From her language skills to their PDA, Polo is yet another example of why Markle and Prince Harry make such an impressive (and endearing) team.
