Prince Harry and Meghan Markle laugh and smile on kiss-cam at the basketball game

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were captured smiling and giggling on a kiss cam at a Los Angeles basketball game, just days after it emerged only one of them would attend the Coronation.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex laughed awkwardly when they were caught on camera at the NBA basketball game last night, but despite Harry’s apparent enthusiasm Meghan seemingly declined a kiss as they appeared on the big screen in front of 20,000 people.

The Royal couple were at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA when they appeared on the jumbotron.

Harry had been talking to another spectator as they were shown on screen, leaving Meghan waving and smiling.

Despite thousands clapping and cheering, encouraging them to kiss, Meghan seemed reluctant, even as Harry seemingly leaned in for a smooch.

But she put a hand on his arm, and he grimaced in jest as Meghan laughed.

This took place as the LA Lakers played the Memphis Grizzlies last night in a playoff game, and comes just days after it emerged that Harry would attend the King’s Coronation without Meghan.

Whilst the Prince will jet across the Atlantic for the May 6 event, Meghan will remain at home with their children, and celebrate their son, Archie's birthday, which falls on the same day.

The announcement followed weeks of reports and suggestions of turmoil between the self-exiled Royal couple and The Firm over their Coronation appearance.
