Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seemed to enjoy a cosy night out while they were spotted smiling and giggling at a basketball match.
The royal lovebirds awkwardly laughed as they were projected onto the big screen in front of a crowd of 20,000 at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA at the LA Lakers game on Monday night.
Thousands of delighted fans clapped and cheered as they encouraged the couple to kiss, but Meghan seemed to playfully turn Harry down as he leaned in for a smooch.
In another clip, they were seen having a private conversation as the arena's camera picked up their interaction. According to lip reader Jeremy Freeman, it seems the couple could have been exchanging their thoughts about their night out, the Mirror reports.
The expert believes at the start of the clip, Meghan tells Harry ''it's brilliant'' before the Duke appears to say ''yeah'' as he nods his head in agreement.
Afterwards, Meghan seemingly replies: "Right, it's because it's your favourite there" before the camera cuts to the action.
The outing was the first time Harry and Meghan have been snapped in public together since they announced their Coronation plans for the big day on May 6.
It was announced that Harry would be attending his father King Charles's Coronation alone as Meghan plans to stay at home in the States to look after their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The Duke will be forced to face his royal relatives by himself for the first time since the release of his controversial memoir, Spare where he made a number of shocking allegations against senior royals.
Meanwhile yesterday was the first time Meghan broke her cover since it emerged she would be skipping the Coronation next week and throwing a birthday party for Archie in California instead as the youngster turns four on the same day.
The Duchess appeared via video link to introduce a Ted Talk by her long-time pal and photographer Misan Harriman who has snapped multiple family photos of Harry, Meghan and their kids over the years.
It was also Meghan's first appearance since reports surfaced over the weekend that she personally wrote a letter to the King over her concerns of racism within the Royal Family.
Meghan is understood to have sent the correspondence during the aftermath uproar of her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, where she alleged comments had been made in the Firm about the colour of their unborn son Archie's skin.
Her appearance at the Ted Talk was revealed after Misan uploaded an image of Meghan on Instagram showing her smiling on the big screen as she spoke.
He wrote: "The Duchess of Sussex was kind enough to introduce me unto the stage for my @ted Thank you for the support Meg."
