prince harry nba finals landed in the eighth row Saturday at Frost Bank Center, where the Duke of Sussex watched Game 5 from several rows back while other celebrities sat courtside. Harry attended without Meghan Markle, and his seat placement stood out as much as his presence.

Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller were among the names seated courtside in San Antonio, while Sydney Sweeney, Scooter Braun and Billy Baldwin were also placed away from celebrity row. Harry wore a navy polo shirt, navy slacks and a baseball cap, a low-key look for a high-profile guest at a major game.

He was not there alone. JP Lane, a U.S. Army veteran and Purple Heart Warrior Games athlete who is set to compete in his first Invictus Games next summer, attended with him.

Meghan Markle’s Absence

The appearance came without Markle, even though the pair have attended NBA games together before. They went to a February All-Star Game and shared a kiss cam moment, and their first NBA date night came in April 2023 at a Los Angeles Lakers playoff game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Harry and Markle relocated from the United Kingdom to the United States in 2020 and live in Montecito, California, with their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5. They have not attended Trooping the Colour since 2022, and this outing added another public sports appearance to a calendar that has not included a clear NBA allegiance from Harry.

The eighth-row placement made the scene different from the standard celebrity courtside setup, even with several well-known names inside the building. Harry’s arrival at Game 5 put a royal face in one of the deeper premium sections at Frost Bank Center and added one more layer to an event already heavy on star power.
