Meghan Markle basically turned into the heart eyes emoji on Saturday, and it's all thanks to Prince Harry. The Suits actress and activist traveled to the Cowarth Polo Club in Ascot, England, over the weekend to watch her boyfriend of over six months compete in the Audi Polo Challenge, where she couldn't help but flash a huge smile. It marks the first time that Harry (who looked equally smitten, by the way) and Meghan attended a public event together. The polo match raised money for Harry's charities, Sentebale and WellChild, and boasted A-list guests like Harry's former classmate Eddie Redmayne, Strictly Come Dancing judge Darcey Bussell, and The Crown actor Matt Smith (who coincidentally plays Harry's grandfather Prince Philip in the Netflix drama). While Meghan cheered Harry on from the stands, she bonded with Mark Dyer, a former Welsh Guards officer and close friend of Harry who helped set up his Sentebale charity.

Prince Harry was encouraged by an audience of friends and stars on Saturday at the Audi Polo Challenge at Coworth Park Polo Club in Ascot, England — including girlfriend Meghan Markle and his brother’s former Eton classmate Eddie Redmayne.
The 32-year-old is participating in the games this year to support his charities, Sentebale and WellChild.
Markle, 35, looked proud as she watched from the sidelines. The Suits star wore a high-cut, sleeveless navy Antonia Berardi dress with an asymmetrical hem. She accessorized the look with a pair of dark shades and a white Aritzia blazer, which she wore over her shoulders.

She shared: ''I have to supply all my own clothes. I try and persuade designers to lend them to me, although I can't really publicise them on the BBC. But I do answer queries from viewers if they ask about a particular outfit.'' The 46-year-old star also opened up about growing older in the public eye and confessed...

Strictly Come Dancing judge Darcey Bussell has described Jeremy Vine as "gorgeous" - but suggested his long limbs are getting in his way.
Speaking on tomorrow's episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, Bussell admitted that she enjoys watching the broadcaster.
"He's gorgeous," she said. "I am a fan - he's kind of got an odd charm about him.
"But he does look like a giant spider and you want him to kind of be able to bring it all together and contain it and it's all a bit out there. But he's slowly getting it together."
Bussell added that Vine needs to calm down a bit on the show, saying: "It's weird with him because he gets very overexcited and with those limbs and with the excitement, it goes wild, so he doesn't appreciate that one step for him looks like a leap - it looks like a giant leap.

Darcey Bussell underwent hip surgery last year. The 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge, who became the youngest principle dancer in the history of Royal Ballet at the age of 20, had her hip resurfaced after four decades of parading around the floor weakened her limbs and joints. She explained: ''I had the resurfacing because I was too young to have a replacement. A lot of retired ballerinas have hip replacements but they usually wait until they are in their sixties not forties. I just think, look, how lucky we are that we can have titanium put in our bodies and t do wonders.'' The...

Despite getting the highest score of the series so far last week, Jay McGuiness didn't quite live up to expectations on tonight's episode of Strictly Come Dancing.
The Wanted singer was dancing the quickstep with Aliona Vilani to The Who's 'My Generation', but had a misstep.
The judges were not as enthusiastic as they were for McGuiness' jive last week, admitting that he wished he'd "done better" this week.
Judge Darcey Bussell said: "It was such a shame you made a mistake." However, she added: "Aliona gave you a very challenging quickstep and I know you can come back stronger next week."
"These things happen, it's a very fast dance, and unfortunately your feet were doing more than your brain can handle," Len Goodman said.
Bruno Tonioli, who gave McGuiness his 10 last week said that this dance should have been "barnstorming", but remarked that this evening's performance was...

Anthony Ogogo has come out swinging after his exit from Strictly Come Dancing.
The boxer says that he believes the judges all scored him harshly and that, apart from Darcey Bussell, they didn't say goodbye after his exit.
"I do think the judges were quite critical of me. From the first week, I think I was scored quite harshly," he said.
Ogogo added that he felt, despite working with professional partner Oti Mabuse on righting previous errors, the judges never highlighted his improvements and just found more things to criticise.
"In my opinion, when other dancers weren't as technically brilliant as Helen George or Jay McGuiness, they'd attack it with strength, power, energy and enthusiasm," he said. "They were getting, 'Well done, it was good, you brought the energy'.
"Whereas if I did the same thing it was, 'Your feet weren't good enough, your hands are wrong and your arms are wrong'.

Jay McGuiness wowed the judges on Strictly Come Dancing this evening, with Bruno Tonioli giving him the first 10 of the series.
The The Wanted singer was dancing the Jive to 'Misirlou/You Can Never Tell' from Pulp Fiction and got a score of 9-9-9-10 from the panel, totalling 37, the highest score of the series so far.
The dance saw McGuiness and partner Aliona Vilani dress up as John Travolta's Vincent Vega and Uma Thurman's Mia Wallace from the Quentin Tarantino film.
Their Jive mix of the two songs then got an overwhelming response from the judges.
Tonioli said ecstatically: "That was the blockbuster everybody was waiting for… you out-danced John Travolta and everyone else!"
Craig Revel Horwood added his enthusiasm, saying: "That was a level of technique we have never seen ever. Ah-ma-zing!"
After getting 9s from Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell and Len Goodman, the couple subsequently received a 10 from Tonioli.

You'll be able to get in on the Strictly Come Dancing judging this series thanks to a new set of custom emojis.
Twitter and the BBC are teaming up to help you render your judgment on all the celebrity cha-cha-chas.
Starting with Friday's (September 25) launch, all you'll have to do is attach a number 1-10 to # strictly and an emoji of one of Strictly's judging paddles will pop up.
In other words, you can stick it to Darcey Bussell, Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood if you think their dance scores are pants.
"I love the idea that people at home will be tweeting their own scores with these very funky mini scoring paddles," Revel Horwood said.
"I am sure that most people who tweet will be agreeing with my scores anyway though as I rarely get these things wrong darlings!"
