The Duke of Sussex attended the event solo without his wife, Meghan Markle, and was spotted chatting with TIME CEO Jessica Sibley. England's loss to Argentina with a score of 2-1 after a stunning comeback was a hard pill to swallow for many, including soccer legend David Beckham. Beckham was seen wiping away tears at one point, only to be comforted by his 21-year-old son, Cruz Beckham.

Harry's older brother, Prince William, shared on X that he was "gutted" after England's loss. William's message was a heartfelt expression of pride and support for the team. "England, you gave it everything and we are all so proud of you," he wrote. "Thank you to everyone on and off the pitch, for an incredible tournament. The fight and belief you have shown has inspired us all." William also praised the team, saying they were "the most complete England team in a tournament." He encouraged them to "hold your heads high."

The loss comes on the heels of a tumultuous trip back to the UK for Harry and his family. The Duke of Sussex had recently returned from a trip with his wife and their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5. The family reunited with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House, the king's private country residence in Gloucestershire, England. However, the reunion was marred by security issues that forced Markle and their kids to head back home to California earlier than they intended.
