Lionel Messi’s (36) first guest appearance with Inter Miami in Los Angeles attracted high-ranking visitors. Prince Harry (38) was a guest at Los Angeles FC (LAFC)’s league game against the Argentine superstar’s team on Sunday. Harry cheered for the home team in the stands, he had according to media reports, at times a LAFC scarf in his hand. However, the royal support did not help. Messi’s Inter Miami won 3-1 even though the Argentine didn’t contribute a goal. After the game, Harry reportedly visited the world champion in the dressing room.
While Harry was in a good mood at the stadium, his wife was conspicuous by her absence. Duchess Meghan (42) was also invited to the game. A LAFC list of celebrity guests included the name Meghan Markle.
David Beckham was also there
David Beckham (48), one of the owners of Inter Miami, was also in the stadium in Los Angeles, but probably did not meet Harry. Victoria Beckham (49), on the other hand, was apparently absent.
Listless visit with Meghan at Beyoncé
On Friday, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan were guests of another superstar. They attended a Beyoncé (41) concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Together with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland (67), they followed the performance in a separate box. While pictures from the concert show how Meghan goes with the music, Harry seems rather listless in many photos. He looks at his smartphone or has his hands in his pockets. At the soccer game, Harry seemed a lot more engaged.
Prince Harry will soon be heading back to Europe. The WellChild Awards will take place in his British home on September 7th. It is planned that he will present one of the awards there and give a speech. He then travels to the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf.
