Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended Sunday's NBA All-Star game as the couple cozied up on courtside seats.

The NBA hosted its 75th All-Star Game weekend in Los Angeles this week, with stars in the league facing off in the main event on Sunday night.


The Duke and Duchess of Sussex enjoyed front-row seats for the fixture at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.

Meghan was seen threading her arm through her husband's as they took in the action.

The couple were seated next to Queen Latifah, who was joined by her partner, Eboni Nichols.

The rapper spoke with the duchess throughout the game, as they watched the likes of LeBron James showcase their skills.

Harry was seen wearing a grey hat with a British flag on the side as Meghan filmed parts of the action on her phone.

Also in attendance were Barack and Michelle Obama, as the former US President got involved with the action, throwing the ball back to Devin Brooks.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's appearance comes after Meghan shared a touching Valentine's Day photo showing Harry cradling their daughter, Princess Lilibet.

The mother of two captioned the image: "These two + Archie = my forever Valentines."

The rare snap is one of the most revealing glimpses yet of the couple's four-year-old daughter, who sits seventh in line to the throne.

Harry and Meghan have typically shielded their children's faces from public view on social media.

But the sunset family portrait showed Lilibet dressed in a pink frock and tights, holding a cluster of red balloons in her father's arms as he gazed at her adoringly.

Meghan also shared the image to her "story", embellishing it with a hand-drawn heart.

The young princess was born in 2021 and named after Queen Elizabeth II's childhood moniker.

The late Queen was nicknamed as a toddler when she struggled to pronounce her own name, and her grandfather, King George V, adopted the affectionate term.

The duchess has long embraced the romantic holiday, having previously written about her preferences on her former lifestyle blog, The Tig.

She noted: "In terms of gifts, be it breakfast in bed, a sweet love note, or a single flower... it really is the thought that counts."

Last Valentine's Day, Meghan uploaded a video featuring both children helping her prepare strawberry hearts on bagels spread with pink jam, set to Nat King Cole's L-O-V-E.

Lilibet's auburn hair was prominently visible as she helped her mother in the kitchen, while Archie appeared later as the pair took their creations outdoors.
