Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Appear on the Kiss Cam at Lakers Game

Publish date: 2024-08-22

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan don't often embark on public date nights—but, when they do, they're sure to do so in style.

Last night, the couple made an unexpected appearance at Los Angeles's Crypto.com Arena, where they watched a basketball game between the LA Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies.

For the rare outing, the couple coordinated in casual blazer looks. Meghan wore a salmon-colored linen shorts suit by Staud, comprised of a breezy blazer and a pair of high-waisted wide-leg shorts with a matching belt. She capped the look off with a white T-shirt and stacks of bracelets. Meanwhile, Harry looked suave in a navy blue blazer jacket, a white T-shirt, and dark gray jeans.

At one point during the game, the couple were filmed on the overhead jumbotron. In the clip, shared by Washington Post reporter Ben Golliver, Harry appears to lean in toward Meghan, as if to initiate a quasi-kiss cam moment. This prompts Meghan to laugh and playfully hit him on the shoulder.

Other times throughout the match, Meghan and Harry could be seen cheering the players on and sharing romantic moments together.

Yesterday, the duchess made a surprise appearance for a TED Talk, in which she filmed a video introduction for her longtime friend and photographer, Misan Harriman. The brief cameo was another rare chance to see Meghan's work style on display; she wore a pale blush sheath dress by Brandon Maxwell and wore her glossy layered hair straight and down across her shoulders.
