Prince Harry and Meghan have been captured on a ‘kiss cam’ laughing and smiling as they attended a basketball game in Los Angeles.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were filmed sitting down and chatting to other people before Meghan noticed that their faces were being beamed to around 20,000 sports fans in the Crypto.com Arena.

The Duchess, wearing a pink jacket and light top, waved to the crowd as the royal couple then looked at each other and grinned and giggled.

Harry, in a white T-shirt and dark jacket, leaned in closer, in what could have been for a kiss.

But by that moment, his wife had already turned away.

It is not known if the pair, who live in California, later kissed at the venue, where the LA Lakers were taking on the Memphis Grizzlies during an NBA playoff game on Monday evening.

It was the first time the royals have appeared in public together since it was confirmed the prince, 38, will be attending his father’s coronation at Westminster Abbey next month.

Meghan, 41, will not be with him in London for the King’s ceremony as she will be staying in California with the couple’s two young children, three-year-old Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who will turn two in June.

Archie fourth’s birthday will be on 6 May – the same day as the coronation.

Meanwhile, Harry’s lawyers have said in court documents that his brother Prince William settled a phone-hacking claim against Rupert Murdoch’s UK newspaper group in 2020 for a “very large sum”.

The settlement claims came to light on Tuesday as a three-day hearing in London involving the Duke of Sussex and actor Hugh Grant got under way.

Harry is suing News Group Newspapers (NGN), publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News Of The World, over alleged unlawful information gathering at its titles.

NGN is asking Mr Justice Fancourt to throw out both claims, arguing they have been brought too late.
