Prince Harry enjoyed a night of rugby in England on Friday.

The Duke of Sussex attended the Gallagher Prem match between Leicester and Gloucester at Mattioli Woods Welford Road Stadium in Leicester.

Harry was joined by his cousin George McCorquodale, the son of Princess Diana's sister, Sarah McCorquodale.

The prince watched the action from the stands, cheering on the players and enjoying a pint. When Harry briefly appeared on the stadium's big screen, some spectators could be heard booing, though he appeared unfazed.

Leicester ultimately defeated Gloucester 38-31.

The duke has maintained close relationships with his Spencer relatives, including George and his sister, Celia McCorquodale. Harry and Meghan were in attendance at Celia's wedding in 2018.

The couple also spent time with members of Diana's family during a visit to Althorp in July.

Meanwhile, Meghan was recently spotted at London's Claridge's hotel with education activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai.

A photo of the two women was shared on social media, with a source familiar with the meeting telling ABC News that Meghan and Yousafzai are friends who met for tea.

The appearances come after Harry, Meghan and their two children returned to the United Kingdom from California in late August.
