Why Was Prince Harry Sitting 8 Rows Back at the Knicks Game?

Spare treatment.

Prince Harry watched Saturday’s New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs game from several rows back — while a slew of celebrities sat courtside.

Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller, notably, were among the A-listers front and center at Frost Bank Center’s celebrity row in San Antonio, Texas, for the NBA Finals Game 5.

The Duke of Sussex, for his part, sat in the eighth row of the Texas venue dressed in a navy polo shirt, navy slacks and a baseball cap.

The 41-year-old’s surprise outing — sans wife Meghan Markle — came hours after the couple’s absence from the royal family’s Trooping the Colour celebration in London.

Harry and Markle, who are no longer working royals, have not attended the event since 2022.

They relocated from the United Kingdom to the United States in 2020 and live in Montecito, California, with their two kids — Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5.

Neither of the little ones were present for this weekend’s game.

Harry, instead, attended the matchup with JP Lane — a US Army veteran and Purple Heart Warrior Games athlete.

The motivational speaker is set to compete in his first Invictus Games next summer.

Harry wasn’t the only household name relegated to further rows on Saturday evening.

Other recognizable faces rejected from celebrity row include “Euphoria” star Sydney Sweeney and boyfriend Scooter Braun, as well as actor Billy Baldwin.

It remains unclear which team Harry rooted for as the former military pilot has not clarified his allegiance to any NBA teams over the years.

He has attended two games with Markle, 44, in the past, most recently a February All-Star Game — complete with a kiss cam moment.

Their first NBA date night was in April 2023 for a Los Angeles Lakers playoff game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
