When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle showed up at the World Series, everyone expected them to steal the show. But this time, it was the man sitting behind them who left fans starstruck.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, cheering for Meghan’s home team. Meghan wore a Dodgers cap, her husband matching beside her — a rare relaxed moment for the couple who’ve faced years of public scrutiny. Yet eagle-eyed viewers quickly noticed baseball icon Sandy Koufax seated right behind them. “Forget the royals,” one fan joked. “The real royalty is Koufax.”

The 89-year-old pitcher’s quiet presence reminded many of a different kind of fame — the kind built on legacy, not headlines. A Hall of Famer and Dodgers legend, Koufax’s brilliance was cut short by injury, yet his grace never faded. “Royalty is sitting behind them,” another admirer wrote.

As Harry and Meghan smiled for the cameras, Sandy simply watched the game — calm, grounded, timeless. And in that contrast lay something poetic: fame that burns bright versus greatness that never fades.
