Prince Harry was spotted at the NBA Finals without Meghan Markle, seated eight rows from the coveted ‘Celebrity Row’ courtside tickets. 

Harry was all smiles as he entered the stadium for Game 5 in San Antonio, where the Spurs faced the New York Knicks. 

He was reportedly invited to the game by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, as he is in town for the Warrior Games, according to Page Six. 

The prince attended the game with JP Lane, an Army Veteran and Warrior Games athlete.

The NBA Finals have attracted a who’s-who of the most famous celebrities. Taylor Swift was seated in Celebrity Row for Game 4 with two of the Haim sisters and actress Mariska Hargitay. 

Loyal Knicks fan, Timothee Chalamet, and Kylie Jenner have also been courtside for the games. 

Other A-listers in attendance for the finals have included Ben Stiller, Spike Lee and Sydney Sweeney. Stiller and Chalamet were among the ‘New York Royalty’ seated in Celebrity Row for Game 5.

Tickets to the finals are coveted, with the average price for Game 3 over $7,000 per person, and prices are expected to rise for each game. 

Harry is no stranger to the NBA, attending the 75th NBA All-Star Game with Queen Latifah in February. He also worked with former Knicks player David Robinson on a charity game in 2018. 

While Harry watched the iconic game unfold, the rest of the royal family was fresh off the UK’s annual military spectacle, Trooping the Colour. 

The event is named after the colors of the flags that represent different factions of the British Army. 

Over 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians parade down the streets of London as crowds wave flags to commemorate the Sovereign’s official birthday.  

Trooping the Colour marks King Charles III’s birthday. King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Kate, and their children watched on from the Buckingham Palace balcony. 

Some highlights of the event included Prince Louis playfully reacting as he watched the Red Arrows fly overhead, and Catherine pictured happily chatting with Prince George, 12, and Princess Charlotte, 11, during the carriage ride to Horse Guards Parade.

One photo showed Catherine looking lovingly at the Prince of Wales as they stood on the balcony after William joined the royal procession on horseback alongside the Princess Royal and the Duke of Edinburgh.

Elsewhere, the royals were filmed laughing and sharing jokes with each other in rare behind-the-scenes footage from the day, shared by the King and Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Although Meghan Markle was not in attendance at the game, she was not far from the spotlight as she shared a promotion for her brand, As Ever’s wines, earlier this week. 

In a new promo, Meghan poured glasses of ‘refreshing’ sauvignon blanc and ‘celebratory’ Brut. The caption read, ‘For gathering all summer long.’ 

Meghan announced As Ever’s foray into wines last July when she launched the 2023 Napa Valley Rose, priced at $35.
