Play ball!
The first-ever regular season Major League Baseball game in the United Kingdom went down on Saturday afternoon in London between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, and Prince Harry & Meghan Markle were in attendance to enjoy the show!

The 37-year-old new mom and her lovely royal fam hubby were color-coordinated in black-on-black outfits as they joined up with both the Yankees and the Red Sox before the start of the game this afternoon. (The teams will play another one tomorrow in London; no word yet on whether Meghan and Harry will stick around for that one.)
As you can see (below), both teams gave Meghan a special gift — a small baseball jersey for Master Archie (awww!) — and everybody was all smiles when the royal couple stepped into the locker room to say hello pre-game (below):

So fun!!! Looks like a real, enjoyable time was had by all before the historic game!!
Red Sox manager Alex Cora spoke to ESPN about his meeting with the royal family, too, saying (below):
“I was very very nervous. I haven’t felt this nervous in a while but it was a great moment for the team. We were pleased to have them in the clubhouse.”
Too cute — and very telling, we’d think! Who knew American professional athletes got so nervous about meeting with the royal fam? Love it!!!
Ch-ch-check out more pictures and highlights from Harry and Meghan’s big day on the baseball diamond with all the highlights and more (below), including their chance to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before game time!!!

So many smiles — and it looks like Meghan is low-key pretty excited to show the most American of sports to her man… think she had to teach him all the rules of the game as they watched together today?! Go, girl!!!!
Everybody looks like they genuinely enjoyed things in the locker rooms behind the scenes, too (below):

Awww! Baseball royalty, indeed!
Oh, and BTW — this whole event looks like quite the amazing moment for the city of London, and for MLB in the United Kingdom. Ch-ch-check out the impressive, completely-filled stadium at game time (below):

Wow!!!
What do U think about all this fun across the pond, Perezcious readers?! Too bad Master Archie was too young to be there and take in the big game… but it sure seems like Meghan and Harry were having the time of their lives!
