Meghan Markle was reportedly left 'upset' in California after Prince Harry attended Game 5 of the NBA Finals in San Antonio on Monday, 15 June, sitting several rows back from the court rather than courtside, according to a report by gossip columnist Rob Shuter. The appearance by Harry, who went to the game without Meghan, turned into an unexpected talking point after cameras also caught an awkward moment between the Duke of Sussex and director Spike Lee near the floor at Frost Bank Center.
For context, the NBA Finals outing was meant to be fairly straightforward. Harry, 41, was in Texas around the Warrior Games and, according to coverage of the night, took in the New York Knicks' title‑clinching 94–90 win over the San Antonio Spurs alongside U.S. Army veteran JP Lane. Meghan Markle and the couple's children were not reported to be with him, and nothing official suggested it was anything more than a fun night of basketball for the prince.
