Duke and Duchess of Sussex visit Europe's first major league baseball game

In an interview to American broadcaster Fox, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said the visit was"a great moment for the team".

He added that he was nervous though, saying:"I've got to be honest with you: between the instructions, the 'be polite and say the right things,' I was very, very nervous"The visit was to promote Price Harry's Invictus Games, which has partnered with the two-day baseball event in east London. The games feature injured servicemen from around the world competing in sporting events, with next year's competition being held in The Hague in the Netherlands.Prince Harry posed for photos with volunteers on the pitch and the couple walked around the field, which was made up of dirt imported from the US and fake grass from France.

Invictus athletes from the UK and the US took part in throwing the ceremonial first pitch at the former Olympic stadium, overseen by the royals.Meghan told Fox that she was"so glad they didn't ask me to do it", with Prince Harry adding,"so am I", to laughter in the stadium. The baseball game is the first to be played in Europe, with the company behind baseball in the US, Major League Baseball , reportedly looking into moving to the British market.

Mookie, what a name

Strange. The Duchess of Sussex is usually “hands off “ when it comes to her American relatives.

Nigel's not wrong......

Six Degrees of Separation? Hardly a news story.

Are we paying for this to then!!! 👀

Another day out funded by the tax payer, where shall we go next Harry? What a wonderful life!

The Mets played the Redsox at The Oval around 26 years ago. That game was the first Major League Baseball game in the UK not yesterday’s game.

Should be a RedSox fan.....

latteIicious 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

2 people watch a baseball game. End.

This is getting pathetic with this pair

Lewisno1fan They are radiant, it's a real pleasure to see them happy. Apparently, Meghan was right. All that is said about her is only noise. This woman is very strong and very powerful.

can we get it correct it's a game of rounders not baseball, it is a game played by kids in the UK! Not some big thing!

Do these two ever just one day do a days work.

A league of their own.

Rounders 😏

How much has that cost me?

Priorities being what they are I can’t afford to go & watch this live as I need to pay to get my house done up 👍
