Since the dawn of 2026, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have maintained a low profile, with the exception of Harry’s court appearance in London. However, that’s likely to change soon, according to an insider familiar with the prince.
Reports suggest that the couple is expected to attend this year’s Super Bowl, scheduled for February 8 in Meghan’s native California. Their presence at such a highly publicized event is anticipated to thrust them back into the media spotlight, sparking widespread discussion. The Duke and Duchess are no strangers to major sports spectacles, having recently been seen at Game 4 of the Los Angeles Dodgers versus Toronto Blue Jays World Series in October.

Expert explains why the Sussexes will want to be at the Super Bowl with cameras on them
Kayley Cornelius, a noted PR specialist and celebrity analyst featured in outlets like the Daily Mail, BBC, and New York Post, weighs in on the matter.
In an interview for Action Network, Cornelius explained to Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “Harry and Meghan are adept at navigating their public image. Attending a major event like the Super Bowl serves a dual purpose: it’s not only about enjoying the game, but also about staying visible, remaining relevant, and carving out their niche as a ‘royal celebrity’ brand in the U.S.”
“Being seen at events like this reinforces their status in pop culture, generates media coverage across multiple platforms, and keeps them at the forefront of public conversation. For non-working royals, appearances like this are key opportunities to maintain influence without the traditional royal obligations.”

Ex-royal staffer believes Harry and Meghan will make attending the event a yearly thing
Harry attended his first Super Bowl (in Inglewood, California) with his cousin, Princess Eugenie, four years ago. Some thought we’d see the prince and his wife attend last year’s big game, but they did not as they were busy with the Invictus Games in Canada. Now, someone who used to work for Harry agrees that the Sussexes will attend Super Bowl LX and likely make it a yearly thing.
Grant Harrold was King Charles’ butler for seven years. During his time working for the now-monarch Harrold’s duties included that of valet, housekeeper, house manager, and driver. He looked after Prince Harry, Prince William, and Kate whenever they stayed at Highgrove House as well.
The former royal employee also spoke on behalf of Action Network and explained, “The Invictus Games are very close to Harry and Meghan’s hearts, so it made sense that they went to Canada over the Super Bowl last year. However, with no overlap this year, I think they’ll want to make an appearance at the Super Bowl and have it become a regular part of their calendar.
“From how it appears, if they start attending annually, I don’t see them stopping, so I can easily see it becoming one of those regular appearances. It’s similar to how the U.K. royals have their social calendar … While Harry and Meghan’s lifestyle in the United States is obviously different, there are certain occasions we’ve seen them at previously, and it feels like those could continue to become yearly staples.”
