Prince Harry has made California home
over the past two years, and on Sunday he celebrated the Los Angeles Rams
winning the 56th Super Bowl by making an appearance in the locker room and
holding the Lombardi trophy aloft.
The Rams official social media channels shared pictures of Harry after
the game holding the trophy with NFL officials joining him alongside players.
“Feelin’ like royalty. #SBLVI,” they captioned the post.
Harry was accompanied by his royal cousin Princess Eugenie –
with whom he has a close relationship – for the day out on Sunday. The pair sat
next to each other at Los Angeles’ So-Fi Stadium, choosing to watch the
game inside a private box.
They wore black masks, in accordance with Los Angeles County rules
ordering KN95 or N95-grade masks for outdoor events attended by large
audiences.
Their presence went unnoticed by photographers, but the NFL UK Twitter
account shared a picture of the pair and wrote: “Prince Harry and Princess
Eugenie in the house at #SBLVI.”

Harry also made an appearance backstage, sharing a picture with county star Mickey Guyton who sang the national
anthem before the big game. The music sensation, who brought the
house down with her rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner for the game, took to
social media to share the picture with fans.

She captioned her photo: “I met Prince Harry. He was just lovely. I
even curtsied in my tracksuit.”
As the youngest children in their families, Harry and Eugenie have plenty in common and
both have had to carve out their roles within the royal family. While Harry
stepped back from royal duties with his wife, Meghan, in March 2020, Eugenie is a
director at the art gallery Hauser & Wirth.

The Princess was also one of the first to know about his romance with
former actress Meghan, and she and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have spent a
lot of time with the Sussexes.
Eugenie has also been publicly supportive of her cousin. She was quick to
welcome Harry and Meghan to Instagram when the Sussexes set up their own
account in April 2019, sharing a photo of the couple at
their engagement photocall and writing: “Welcome cousins.
@sussexroyal.”
