Harry and Meghan met with barrage of boos during date night at World Series baseball championship

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were met with a barrage of boos during a date night at the World Series.

Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, were spotted at Game 4 of the baseball championship between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Rays on Tuesday.

They were also seen eating hot dogs and visiting the Dodgers’ trophy hall with Harry exclaiming: "Let's go!"

Major League Baseball even took to Instagram to share a slow-motion video of the couple’s arrival into the stands, with the caption “royalty”.

But the estranged royals did not receive the best welcome from supporters when they appeared on the stadium's big screen.

Fans booed the pair as the camera captured them in matching blue caps watching the fixture from their front-row seats in front of basketball legend and Dodgers co-owner Magic Johnson.

Social media users noted that Harry awkwardly laughed while his wife sat beside him with her hand covering her face.

It is unclear whether Harry and Meghan had paid for the view or if they were invited as VIPs by the Dodgers.

Other people in attendance included actress Sydney Sweeney, basketball player LeBron James and rapper Donald Glover.

The Blue Jays came out on top against the Dodgers, who play around 100 miles from Harry and Meghan’s Montecito estate, with a 6-2 victory, which levels the series up at 2-2.

Harry and Meghan have resided in California with their children Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, since they waved goodbye from royal duties in 2020.

But recently Harry said he would like to spend more time in the UK and that meeting his father King Charles had “definitely brought that closer”.

Last month, the prince met His Majesty for the first time in 19 months amid reports he is keen to bring his family back to the UK.
