Prince Harry is known to be an F1 fan. In March 2020, he teamed up with Hamilton, 38, to open the Silverstone Experience museum in the U.K. which is dedicated to the past, present and future of British motor racing.

The visit was part of Harry’s final round of royal engagements before he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped back from their senior roles in the royal family and relocated to her home state of California.

Harry’s appearance at the race on Sunday comes after he and Meghan, 42, recently returned to the U.S. following a secret Caribbean getaway.

The couple was photographed arriving at an Atlanta airport earlier this month after they spent time on vacation in the Caribbean.

Before their trip, Meghan and Harry had made their most recent public appearance in New York City to mark World Mental Health Day on Oct. 10. The pair hosted their Archewell Foundation's first in-person event and joined a panel of parents to discuss the negative effects the digital world can have on children.
