Meghan Markle joins Harry at baseball game as they receive adorable gifts for Archie

The Duchess of Sussex has been spotted out and about with Prince Harry meeting baseball stars as the London series brings the Yankees and Red Sox to Britain.

The baseball teams were treated to a royal encounter ahead of their historic clash at London Stadium today.

And both teams even had gifts for a tiny fan.

Meghan was pictured beaming as she held a miniature customised baseball shirt from the team - also getting a Yankees jersey with Archie's name printed on the back.

Harry was also pictured holding a tiny red baseball bat presented to the couple by the Red Sox.

The royal couple have been pictured shaking hands with the players, and Meghan gets a warm embrace from one of the Red Sox royalty Mookie Betts, who according to recent reports from the Boston Globe, may actually be the Duchess's distant cousin.

The major league teams are here for the London series, which has seen West Ham's Stadium transformed for the sport.

It is the first ever major league game to be played in Europe as the Americans seek to grow the sport on this side of the Atlantic.

The royals will watch as British and American Former Invictus athletes are set to throw the ceremonial first pitch at the Yankees-Sox clash in London.

The teams will be playing on one of the UK's hottest days yet so far as London bakes in the heatwave currently sweeping Europe.

New mum Meghan was dressed for the heat in a belted black frock, neatly matching her prince's polo-shirted ensemble.

The prince founded the Invictus Games for wounded, sick, and injured armed service personnel to compete in sports.

The foundation was begun to aid the recovery of sick and wounded personnel and veterans.
