Prince William and Kate planned to leave the Celtics game early. But they were just having too much fun to call it a night.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were scheduled to leave the Celtics’ game against the Heat at TD Garden on Wednesday at halftime. After a transatlantic flight and other appearances around Boston, all while dealing with the remnants of a five-hour time difference at the start of this three-day visit, it made sense.

But as the slam dunks piled up and the music played and the crowd rumbled, William and Kate were apparently having too much fun to call it a night. So they returned for the second half and watched Jayson Tatum pour in 49 points in the Celtics’ 134-121 win.
