Prince Harry spent part of the weekend in San Antonio, where he joined a volunteer effort tied to the Warrior Games. The Duke of Sussex, 41, helped serve barbecue food prepared by United Airlines for competitors, families, and staff. Dressed in a white shirt and blue apron, he was seen flipping burgers, handling tongs, and posing for selfies in clips shared online. According to Hello!, the visit also included Harry joking around in photos, jumping into frames as he greeted people at the gathering.
Prince Harry Serves Families at Warrior Games
The outing connected Harry to a sporting competition with deep personal meaning. The Warrior Games, held each year by the US government, support wounded, injured, or ill military personnel. The Fisher House Foundation, which shared footage from the lunch, wrote: "A special lunch came with a special surprise today. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, joined the Warrior Games Family Program serving up bbq cooked up by the @united airlines bbq team to families competitors and staff." The post also pointed to Harry’s long link to adaptive sport and its role in the creation of the Invictus Games.
Meghan Markle Hosts Mahjong Night in Montecito
While Harry was in Texas, Meghan Markle appeared to spend the weekend at home in Montecito with close friends. A social media post from Kelly McKee Zajfen suggested the Duchess hosted a girls' game night at the couple’s California property. Kelly wrote: "Ugh oh. Another one has been taken by the Maj bug, that being me. A perfect day spent with my ladies and having some much-needed mama time. Thanks M & T." The initials appeared to refer to Meghan and Tracy Robbins, part of Meghan’s local friendship circle.
Meghan’s Social Circle Grows Around Weekly Games
The gathering fits a pattern Meghan has spoken about before. She previously shared that she hosts regular mahjong nights with friends, including Tracy Robbins, Victoria Jackson, and Jennifer Rudolph Walsh. The group has even adopted the nickname "Maj Squad." Kelly now seems to have joined them after recently welcoming a baby boy. The game itself dates back to 19th-century China and has become one of Meghan’s favorite ways to bring friends together over food and drinks in a private home setting.
Prince Harry Adds Basketball Stop to Busy Weekend
Harry’s Texas trip also included time away from official duties. He made a solo appearance at the Knicks vs Spurs game, where he was photographed courtside in a navy polo shirt and gray baseball cap. The relaxed outing offered another glimpse of his life in the US since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. In recent years, he has regularly attended major sporting fixtures, from NFL games to Formula One races. This weekend combined that personal interest with a service-focused appearance tied to the military community.
