Despite the sweet-looking date night, social media users slammed
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. "When the entire outing was one big, staged PR photo op. Arrived, grabbed the viral courtside snaps, then vanished quicker than a f***. Photo op complete, mission accomplished, see ya!" one user wrote on X.
"Seated right next to Queen Latifah. Real subtle, Sunshine Sachs. Made sure to get 'Markle' & 'Queen' in the search engines and algorithm in a 10-minute photo op. It's all so predictable & sad and tiresome," a second person said.
"Wait a second… they went there, sat down for a few minutes, had pictures and videos taken and then they walked out asks left!? WTF is that!?!?" a third chimed in.
"They want privacy though, they don't like the press, they write horrible things, they don't want handouts, they want to earn their own money, they want to be normal ppl — yeah right," a fourth added.

Fortunately, one person staunchly defended
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from the trolls. "I saw the game. They were there till the end. Stop writing [excrement emoji]" they wrote on X.

Body language expert
Judi James believes Meghan Markle and
Prince Harry were playing up their affection for the camera. "Meghan's body language poses do look performative here, which means that she appears focused on showing off her relationship with [Prince] Harry to the world with high levels of pride rather than just relaxing using the odd more intimate snuggle or glance to him that might make this look less effortful," she told
Daily Express.
