Royal romance on the big screen: Harry and Meghan steal the show in unexpected NBA kiss-cam cameo
MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA: In spite of Prince Harry's exuberance, Meghan Markle refused a peck when they appeared on the big screen in front of 20,000 spectators, including Kim Kardashian, Adam Sandler, and Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Meghan and Harry joined these celebrities at the NBA basketball last night. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex watched the Los Angeles Lakers defeat the Memphis Grizzlies in game four of the NBA playoffs, making their first public appearance in a month.
The royal pair, who won't be seen together at King Charles' coronation next month, were beaming in a box at the Crypto.com Arena when they made an appearance on the stadium's jumbotron. Many people started applauding and clapping, which encouraged them to kiss.

Harry then looked to move in for a kiss, but his wife, who was standing nearby and was sporting a $1,400 pink linen suit and heels, laughed and grabbed his arm instead of lowering her head to the assembled people. Harry then made an amusing grimace, as reported by Daily Mail.
Meghan and Harry did cuddle up as the Lakers won the game 117 to 111 to take a 3-1 lead over the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs, despite the playful snub. Rick Genow, a LA power attorney and the couple's advisor since Megxit sat next to them. Additionally, a video of them enjoying the game was posted with the hashtag #NBACelebRow on the NBA's official Twitter account.
