The Duchess of Sussex looked stunning in black today at the Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees baseball game at the London Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
The couple attended the game in support of Harry’s charity, the Invictus Games Foundation, who have partnered with the MBL for the historic London Series.
Meghan Markle looked radiant in a Stella McCartney belted black dress and Aquazzura Deneuve ballet flats, accompanying her husband on the engagement, who proudly sported an Invictus games polo shirt.
The new mum has been laying low since Archie’s birth on 6 May. While it was planned that the Duke of Sussex would make an appearance at the game, Meghan wasn’t expected to attend.
The Duchess of Sussex is embraced as she meets players of the Boston Red Sox.
The couple were seen embracing the Red Sox players, one of which is reported by the Boston Globe, to be the Duchess’s distant cousin. Mookie Betts and Meghan reportedly share ancestry dating back 150 years to America’s Deep South, according to an American genealogist. They claim that both Meghan and Mookie’s relatives are from the same part of Alabama.

Mookie and Meghan shared a joke regarding the link, with Mookie trying to explain that his “great, great, great..” family member was a relative. Meghan replied, “great, great, great…” before Mookie concluded, laughing, “we’re family somehow!”
At this point Harry chipped in, asking the crowd, “does anyone else here want to claim to be family?”
Mookie told the Boston Globe last year, “I saw on television that they were getting married. But I had no idea we were related … That’s not something you expect to hear, but it’s interesting.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex receive presents for their son Archie as they meet players of the New York Yankees.
Harry and Meghan were delighted to be gifted a baby grow and mini bat for baby Archie from the Red Sox team. But the gifting didn’t end there.
