On Friday, June 17, the Duchess of Sussex, 40, was seen wearing a lovely pair of denim shorts and a matching button-down denim shirt while she cheered for her husband Harry, 37, at a polo match.

Meghan Markle is known for her ability to appear classy even when wearing casual wear, even shorts. Meghan was photographed relaxing beneath a tent with Harry, who was dressed in safety gear for the match. On Friday, the Duke of Sussex took part in the game at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club. His Los Padres squad, however, fell to rivals Folded Hills in the semi-final, ensuring that they would miss Sunday's Pacific Coast Circuit Intra-Circuit Cup final. Meghan was seen looking dejected as she stood on the sidelines watching the action. Following the game, she was seen soothing her husband with a hand on his leg. After the game, the Duchess hugged Harry's close friend and teammate Nacho Figueras, who has been nicknamed the "David Beckham of polo."

Harry and Meghan ‘BANNED’ from capturing magic moment between Queen and great-granddaughter

The photographs come only days after Harry had a catastrophic fall from his horse during a match on June 10th, and a few important people, including David Foster and Katharine McPhee, were present to see it. The Duke of Sussex spends a lot of time at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club in California, which is close to the luxurious home he and Meghan purchased to raise their children, Archie and Lilibet, after officially retiring from the royal family in 2020. He plays for the Los Padres polo team in California. Users also appreciated Meghan's casual look on social media. A user wrote, "Meghan on polo yesterday." Another user tweeted, "I adore this wonderful couple." "We love this for Meghan. Such a fresh breath of air to see Meghan around women who embrace others and aren't threatened," a user stated.

The couple and their children returned to the United Kingdom earlier this month for Queen Elizabeth's much anticipated Platinum Jubilee. An insider stated to The Sun that the Sussex royals asked if they might bring in a private shutterbug to shoot their first face-to-face meeting, but they were ordered not to. The royals kept Prince Harry and Meghan at arm's length throughout the Platinum Jubilee, with no public appearances with the Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince William, or his wife Kate Middleton. The Royals were concerned that any photos of the Queen and Lilibet captured by the couple's photographer would be shared with US news networks.

Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, returned to California on Sunday, June 5. It was the couple's first significant public appearance in the United Kingdom since announcing their desire to retire as senior royals in 2020. Even inside the church, Harry and Meghan were sat apart from more senior members of the family, such as Kate and William and Charles and Camilla.
