Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made a very rare appearance together on a “date night” at the basketball in Los Angeles.

The couple looked happy and relaxed as they giggled and cheered with their group, while taking in the LA Lakers versus Memphis Grizzlies match from the comfort of a luxury corporate box at the Crypto Arena on Monday.

With details surrounding their inner circle usually relatively sparse, The Sun has uncovered their entourage for the evening, revealing it was made up of Team Sussex employees.

Among them was top Hollywood lawyer Rick Genow, who has a longstanding relationship with Meghan and has handled her legal matters for years.

He was joined by ShaMya Williams, who began working as the manager of unscripted and audio at Archewell Productions in late 2021.

Archewell communications manager Maren Thomas was spotted in the basketball pictures, seated in front of Harry and Meghan, along with Archewell Productions’ head of unscripted, Chanel Pysnik.

Ms Pysnik reportedly used to work for Disney+ and CNN, but took on the role within the Sussex’s team in 2021 and now oversees nonfiction series and documentary film productions, working closely with Netflix.

Rounding out the crew was Meghan’s business manager, Andrew Meyer, who has worked with the actress for years – and was even a guest at her and Harry’s wedding in 2018.

During the game, the cameras briefly panned to the high-profile couple, prompting Harry to attempt to plant a kiss on his wife for the cheering crowd.

However, a giggling Meghan wasn’t having it, and the attempted kiss was instead rejected – with the brutal moment quickly going viral on social media.

The pair’s rare outing comes less than a fortnight before Harry will fly solo to the UK to attend King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla’s coronation at Westminster Abbey.

It’s understood it will be a very brief visit back to his home country, with the Duke set to attend only the May 6 ceremony itself before jumping on a plane back to America.
