To celebrate Valentine’s weekend, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped out to attend a major basketball game in Los Angeles. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat courtside on Sunday for the 75th NBA All-Star Game, looking loved-up on the romantic holiday weekend.

The royal couple sat next to Queen Latifah in the front row, watching the action unfold as they looked engrossed in the tense game. But it wasn’t the game that captured the attention of royal fans, it was Harry’s sweet interaction with one of the player’s mothers as he shared a heartwarming moment while he posed for a photo.

At the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, Harry removed his baseball cap to hug Kevin Durant’s mother, Wanda Durant. Meghan then followed by getting out of her seat to also greet her courtside, with the three of them then pictured chatting and posing for a photograph.

Fans were quick to praise the sweet moment, with one fan writing of the interaction online: “Harry is such a gentleman. Taking his hat off to embrace Kevin’s mother. His mother would be so proud.” Another noted the subtle detail and said: “Respect. Love how Harry took off his hat before addressing her.” A third added: “Such a beautiful sight, H just warms my heart.”

As the basketball game began, Harry and Meghan held hands, smiled and took their front-row seats, with Meghan at one point stroking her husband’s arm to get his attention as they appeared on the Jumbotron screen in the huge arena.
