Prince Harry and Meghan Markle found themselves at the center of attention during Game 4 of the World Series, leaving Dodgers fans less than thrilled as they were given prime seats for their date night.

The couple, now well-acquainted with Los Angeles life, sported Dodgers gear for the event on Tuesday evening, with Fox’s cameras frequently capturing their reactions as they enjoyed the game.

In a move that quickly caught the eye of attendees, Harry and Meghan were seated in the front row, while iconic figures like Magic Johnson and Sandy Koufax were placed behind them in the second row.

Despite Johnson’s role as part-owner of the Dodgers and Koufax’s legendary status as a four-time World Series champion and Hall of Fame pitcher, it was the royal duo who received the VIP treatment.

Fans took to social media to express their surprise, with one commenting, “Prince Harry and his wife sitting IN FRONT of Sandy Koufax? Un-fn-real. #WorldSeries #Dodgers.”

Another added: ‘Why the hell are they in front of Sandy?’, while a third noted: ‘They need to leave.’

Fans were left infuriated by the decision to give the couple royal treatment over the local icons

‘Magic Johnson is royalty,’ another noted of the NBA legend, who has become a billionaire and part-owner of both the Lakers, Dodgers and Washington Commanders in the years since he retired from his own professional career.

Prior to the game, MLB posted a clip of a smiling Harry and Meghan greeting fans as they made their way into the stadium, flanked by security on the way to their seats.

Meghan sat on Harry’s right in the front row of the crowd, in a seat worth thousands of dollars directly behind the pitch clock. It is unclear whether they paid for the seats, or were invited as VIPs by the team.

Both wore blue Dodgers caps, and the superstar pair were matching with the rest of their outfits too, pairing white shirts with a blue over-layer.

Not long into the Game 4 match-up between the Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays, Harry and Meghan were shown on the big screen to the sold-out crowd. 

According to one X user, fans inside the stadium ‘seemed decidedly nonplussed’ with the celebrity guests in attendance. 

Fans quickly took to social media to share their anger at the seating positions of the celebrities

Many claimed that Coufax and Johnson deserved top billing over the royal couple on Tuesday

On social media, though, many were pleased to see the famous couple, with one writing that it had given the game ‘the Royal seal of approval’.

‘Love seeing global icons reppin’ LA!’ another added. ‘Dodgers uniting the world one hat at a time.’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s visit to the big game comes just days after they shared photos of their trip to a pumpkin patch with Archie and Lilibet.

The footage was notable given it was perhaps the most intimate glimpse Meghan has given into her children and their new life in LA.

In a clip shared to Instagram, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, was seen with Prince Harry and their two children on an outing to Lane Farms in Santa Barbara, and afterwards carving their Halloween decorations at home.

Princess Lilibet could this week be seen in the back of a video shared of Harry carving a pumpkin to celebrate Halloween 

While Meghan usually obscures her children’s faces by only photographing them from behind, her latest video offered fans a peek at their features as they ran around while Prince Harry worked on his pumpkin. 

Meghan’s reel also showcased Harry’s cheeky side and featured her mother Doria Ragland and close friend Markus Anderson. 

Markus is often affectionately referred to as Meghan’s ‘second husband’ because of their close bond over many years. 

He’s been by Meghan’s side more than ever in recent months – accompanying her to Disneyland and Paris Fashion Week – with his latest invitation to the Sussexes’ Montecito mansion confirming his position in their inner circle.
