Meghan Markle and Prince Harry surprise at historic baseball game and the photos are too good!
Prince Harry took Meghan Markle out to the ballgame on Saturday afternoon, and their rare outing was a home run for us all! The Duchess made an unexpected appearance alongside her Duke, breaking from maternity leave for a historic day. Prince Archie's parents made for a smiley and modish duo, braving England's heatwave to support Harry's Invictus Games charity at the first ever-season MLB game played in London on June 29. And while temperatures were sizzling, so was the new mom's style!

Almost eight weeks after giving birth, Meghan sported Stella McCartney, one of her favorite designers, for the athletic event. She was all belted up in a black keyhole dress, matching her husband who wore an all black number as well. The former Suits star let her luscious chocolate tresses cascade down and accessorized with Aquazzura Deneuve ballet flats in black suede.
Red Sox Nation
The new parents, smarly rocked monochromatic looks, allowing them to stay neutral color-wise at London Stadium where the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees faced off. In fact, even Meghan's sleek shades - Leondard sunglasses by Illesteva - were black. It's a good thing too, because the dazzling duo met with both baseball teams ahead of the game.
The couple were greeted by rounds of cheers and applause as they entered the Red Sox locker rooms. Meghan clearly fed off the positive energy, grinning and cheering along.
All in the Family
Meghan hugged Red Sox's Mookie Betts after he told the Duchess that they are distant relatives. According to The Boston Globe, their ancestors are from the same part of Alabama. He started to tell Meghan about his family, saying, "my great, great, great...." before the Duchess broke in jokingly, adding, "great, great, great..."
Mookie relinquished trying to explain, laughingly saying: "We're family somehow!" At that point, players around them roared, while Harry smartly asked: "Does anyone else here want to claim to be family?"
Gifts for Archie
The Duchess looked delighted upon receiving a cute team onesie and mini bat for her and Harry's son Archie Harrison.
One of the team!
The royalty posed for a group shot with the team, holding up their new presents.
Giggling gifts
Meghan couldn't help but laugh when the New York Yankees team also gifted baby Archie with an adorable mini jersey. It seems the teams were competing off the field as well!
Yankee doodle dandy!
The couple also posed with the entire Yankees team on their extra special day.
Team Invictus!
The pair posed with members of the Invictus Games Foundation, two of which threw the inaugural first pitch. Meghan had revealed earlier that she was relieved not to have been asked to do it.
Love & Baseball!
They may have been in the back of the crowd, but Harry and Meghan's love shone through. The power couple shared a look of love as they sat in the stadium.
Meghan has only carried out a handful of public engagements since giving birth to her baby boy on May 6, but this event was extra important. Not only was it a chance to support the Invictus Games, but it let her get in touch with her roots as an American. History is set to be made as two regular season MLB games will be hosted in Europe for the first time. London Stadium has been dramatically transformed into a 60,000-seater ballpark just for the event.
