Meghan Markle has showcased her impressive Spanish language skills during a cameo in the new Netflix series Polo.

The five-episode mini-series is produced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their Archewell Productions arm.

But instead of being centreed on Prince Harry's love of the elite sport, it focuses on some of its biggest players as they prepare to compete in the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida.

In the last episode of the series, Prince Harry and Meghan are seen at the 2024 Royal Salute Polo Challenge, with the game played to benefit the duke's charity Sentebale.

The match was played on April 12 this year in Wellington, Florida - just days before the 2024 US Open Polo Championship final was held there on April 21, which is the culmination of the docuseries.

Prince Harry is seen in the episode all kitted up and ready to captain his Royal Salute team, when his wife comes over to greet him.

The royal then introduces the duchess to his team-mate, professional Argentinian polo player Adolfo Cambiaso.

"She's fluent in Spanish," Prince Harry proudly tells Cambiaso.

The Duchess of Sussex is heard speaking in Spanish without hesitation about her time in Argentina, where she interned at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires.

"Yes, I lived there about 20 years ago. In Palermo Viejo. Las Canitas too … I love the 25th of May," she said according to subtitles in the episode.

Cambiaso cheekily asks Meghan if Harry can speak any Spanish, with the duke responding with a laugh, saying: "He knows I don't".

"A little, a little," Meghan says in her husband's defence.

It's not the first time fans have heard Meghan show off her Spanish skills.

Meghan was part of a panel speaking on women's empowerment during the Afro-Descendant Women and Power: Voices of Equity summit, when she pulled out her earpiece and switched from English.

"Good afternoon. I would like to start in Spanish," she began.

"Because we are in your country, my husband and I can feel this embrace from Colombia — it's incredible.

"The culture, the history — all of it — was a dream. This trip was a dream.

"I can feel this community, and this is the feeling that is the best thing right now."

During her speech she apologised for being a bit rusty.
