Other familiar faces at the fixture included Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney, who turned up with partner Scooter Braun, alongside actors Timothee Chalamet and Ben Stiller.
The Duchess of Sussex and the pair’s children were notably absent from the game, which saw the New York Knicks secure their first NBA championship since 1973 following a 94-90 victory.
The royal duo has been regularly spotted at sporting fixtures since relocating to America in 2020, most recently turning out for an NBA All-Star Game in February. Harry’s outing occurred just hours after the King marked his official birthday with a ceremony highlighting the British Army’s ceremonial excellence.
