In the clip, posted on Twitter, the couple can be seen laughing and chatting to other spectators, before they seem to share a joke and the Prince pulls an awkward-looking face as his wife laughs.

It comes just days after they made the stunning announcement that Harry would attend the King’s coronation without Meghan.

He will jet to London for the May 6 event, while she will remain at their Montecito, California home to celebrate their son Archie’s fourth birthday, which falls on the same date.

The decision sparked a row after reports that the Duchess’ decision was influenced by a split with the Royal Family over allegations of “unconscious bias”.

The former actress previously raised racism concerns in a letter to the then-Prince of Wales following her interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, according to The Telegraph.

During the tell-all chat, Meghan claimed a senior member of the Royal Family had speculated about how dark their future son’s skin might be.

Charles is said to have written to his daughter in law, expressing his sadness over the split within the Firm.

A source said the duchess felt his response was unsatisfactory, which influenced her to skip the coronation.

But the Sussexes described the alleged reasoning as “ridiculous and false”.

In a statement shared through royal commentator Omid Scobie on Twitter, the couple said: “The Duchess of Sussex is going about her life in the present, not thinking about correspondence from two years ago related to conversations from four years ago.

“Any suggestion otherwise is false and frankly ridiculous.

“We encourage tabloid media and various royal correspondents to stop the exhausting circus that they alone are creating.”
