Key Points Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended World Series Game 4 at Dodger Stadium. Social media reacted strongly to them sitting in front of baseball legend Sandy Koufax. Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Dodgers 6–2, tying the series 2–2. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry aren’t exactly regulars at sporting events, but when the World Series lands in Los Angeles, even the royals can’t resist the pull of Dodger blue. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted front-row at Dodger Stadium for Game 4 — cheering on the home team and sitting directly in front of baseball royalty himself: Sandy Koufax. On Tuesday, October 28, MLB’s official account shared a 10-second clip on X (formerly Twitter) showing the couple arriving at the stadium. Meghan, 44, kept it simple in a white button-up and black pants, wearing her hair in a low ponytail, while Harry, 41, went with a black blazer, white tee, and dark trousers. Oops!

For anyone unfamiliar, Koufax isn’t just another former player. He’s a Dodgers living legend — the youngest player ever inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, a three-time Cy Young winner, and the man behind four no-hitters (including a perfect game). He’s so revered in baseball history that the team unveiled his statue at Dodger Stadium in 2022. Oops! We’re unable to load this content right now.

Dodgers part-owner and NBA legend Magic Johnson was also in attendance with his wife, Cookie, joined by a lineup of Hollywood regulars including Austin Butler, Sydney Sweeney, James Marsden, and Tobey Maguire. Naturally, social media lit up over the seating chart. “Prince Harry and his wife sitting IN FRONT of Sandy Koufax? Un-fn-real,” one fan posted. “The actual royalty was behind them. How dare they sit in front of Sandy Koufax,” another said. “Putting Harry and Meghan in front of Sandy Koufax (and Magic Johnson, for that matter), is blasphemous! Who is responsible for that?” chimed in a third. “Sorry but Sandy Koufax deserved front row. It’s Dodger baseball,” someone else added. Oops! We’re unable to load this content right now.

The Toronto Blue Jays topped the Dodgers 6–2, evening the series 2–2. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. blasted a two-run homer off Shohei Ohtani, and Toronto’s four-run seventh inning sealed the deal. Off the diamond, Markle had her own big win that day: the launch of her new As Ever holiday collection, featuring luxe candles, small-batch spreads, California-honey, and sparkling wine. She’s also teased a Netflix holiday special, With Love, Meghan, slated for later this year.
