Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are soaking up the last of the Sydney Invictus Games.

The royal couple, who are expecting their first child in the spring, headed to the wheelchair basketball final on Saturday (local time). England won third in bronze medal match against New Zealand while the Netherlands and the U.S. competed in the gold medal game.

Meghan was dressed in a maroon top by Australian brand Scanlan Theodore and black pants with her hair styled half-up, half-down while Harry wore a black Invictus Games polo shirt. The parents-to-be, who were greeted by attendees with a roaring applause, were seated with Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Defence Minister Christopher Pyne.

David Beckham, who serves as an Invictus Games ambassador, was also spotted in the crowd with his sons Cruz, 13, and Romeo, 16, though they appeared to be seated on the opposite side.
