Meghan Markle can't keep her hands off her 'forever Valentine' Prince Harry as she encourages her Prince to smile for the cameras during NBA date night.
Meghan Markle showed she is still head over heels for her 'forever Valentine' Prince Harry at the NBA All-Star Game following a weekend of date nights for the royal couple.
Meghan spent much of the basketball match with her hand on her British husband's leg and he responded by putting his arm around her at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on Sunday.
But with sports-mad Harry's head in the game, his wife needed to rub his arm to nudge him to smile and pose when the NBA's social media team arrived at the start of the 75th All-Star Game.
Harry's serious expression turned to a grin and he waved enthusiastically to the camera while saying 'hi'.
The Sussexes put on a series of PDAs during their surprise visit to the basketball on Sunday evening.
They were all smiles as they were swept into the VIP entrance and through the bowels of the arena before being taken their courtside seats by security.
Footage of their arrival showed them waving to fans and well-wishers and they walked through a crowd of players on court warming up for the All-Star Game.
Harry looked serious in their VIP seats when the basketball began, while Meghan was all smiles as she chatted to him about the game on the same row as Queen Latifah and her partner, Eboni Nichols.
The Obamas were also at the match but with no pictures of them together with the Sussexes, it is not known if they saw each other yesterday.
Meghan, 44, spent most of the evening cozied up to her husband, 41, with her arm threaded through his as she chatted to him and rapper Latifah.
The Duke of Sussex put his around his wife of seven years as they enjoyed the night of top level sport.
The Duchess appeared to be filming some of the on-court action on her iPhone - perhaps for their children or social media - as the likes of LeBron James and Luka Doncic sank buckets.
The Sussexes' appearance last night was part of a series of events for the couple.
On Friday night they ate out at the exclusive Funke restaurant in Beverly Hills, around a 90-minute drive from their Montecito mansion.
It is a favourite with them for date nights and the eaterie is where Meghan ate for her 44th birthday back in August.
On Valentine's Day itself, Meghan shared a picture of Harry hugging Lilibet, whose face was on show for the first time in several years.
Their daughter was wearing a pink ballet-style dress and holding a nest of red balloons with matching ribbons.
Her mother shared the photo with her 4.4million followers on Instagram with the caption: 'These two + Archie = my forever Valentines'.
The Sussexes were joined by a host of famous faces on celeb row, with Barack and Michelle Obama also making an appearance.
Spike Lee was also in attendance.
The former president delivered one of the most unforgettable moments of the night when he calmly plucked a loose basketball out of mid-air as two of the world’s best players barreled toward him.
A fast-moving sequence sent the ball hurtling toward the sideline, where the Obamas sat just feet from the court.
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker were sprinting in pursuit as the ball flew directly toward the former commander-in-chief.
Booker could be seen subtly steering his momentum and positioning himself between Jokic and the courtside seating area, ensuring the players didn't collide with Obama as the play unraveled.
In a moment that unfolded in a split-second, Obama reached out and caught the basketball cleanly with both hands, his lightning-fast reflexes clearly on display.
He then casually returned the ball toward the court before shaking hands and standing up to hug Booker.
Renowned basketball fan Spike Lee also had the honor of a courtside seat for the game.
The director, who is a fan of the New York Knicks, sported a bright orange beret and his signature sunglasses as he zoned in on the action.
Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo, cutting a casual figure in a black turtleneck sweater and light blue jeans, was joined by Kelly Rowland.
The former member of Destiny's Child had dressed to impress, looking chic in a chocolate-brown, leather suit and cream patterned court shoes.
Celebrity chef Guy Fieri was sandwiched between comedian Keegan-Michael Key and rapper 2 Chainz, while hitmaker Ludacris was spotted in the stands with his model wife, Eudoxie Mbouguiengue.
