Pete and Chasten Yettigieg were present at the Friday reception to honor athletes, just like Prince Harry was and Meghan ahead of opening ceremonies of Invictus games.
The couple were seen walking separately on the yellow carpet at a U.S Embassy event in The Hague, ahead of the beginning of the Games which will be held in The Netherlands.
It is not clear if the couple met while they were inside. DailyMail.com made multiple inquiries for information from Buttigieg, but he did not reply to them.
It’s also unclear if either of the Buttigiegs will be appearing in any documentary with the Sussexes, who had their Netflix film crew in tow to capture every moment.
MailOnline was told by a source that Sussexes made the decision to attend the welcoming event within the past 48 hours.
In contrast to the many photographers that covered their arrival, Netflix stood out. In order to stand out, the producer, sound engineer and cameraman wore maroon colored bibs that had numbers printed.
