THE BROMANCE blossomed between Prince Harry and Barack Obama as they cheered on the wheelchair basketball in Toronto last night.

The happy pair bounced-off each other while they cheered on the teams at the Pan Am sports centre.

Both wore black trousers and smart shirts.

It is one of a handful of times that the power duo have delivered a slam-dunk when it comes to their public appearances together.

Obama, 56, and the Prince were also the focus of hilarious rival videos during the lead-up to The Invictus Games in Florida last year.

The Obamas sent Prince Harry a video throwing down the gauntlet and promising the U.S. were set to win the games, an international Paralympics-style event set up by Harry, 33, in 2014.

Harry’s response—which went viral following an entertaining cameo from his grandmother, The Queen—strengthened the bond between the two men.

The Obamas also met Harry when he joined William and his wife Kate at a dinner they hosted for the then-president and first lady in 2016.

And the pals were reunited once again at Kensington Palace shortly after the Manchester bombing which prompted a number of shares on social media and reignited excitement about a new Obama bromance.

Their latest appearance is believed to have been planned as Obama was in Canada to deliever a speech earlier that day about global citizenship.

The meeting was a stark contrast from last Saturday when the Prince met current First Lady Melania Trump with an awkward handshake.

The buddies, both wearing blue shirts with the top button undone, even mirrored one another's movements.

They both sat with their hands clasped together with their knees apart or with a hand under the chin.

Obama playfully nudged Harry on the shoulder at one point and the pair chuckled as the former US leader chanted: "USA, USA!"

Last week besotted Prince Harry and girlfriend Meghan Markle looked every inch the loved-up couple after being spotted at their first public engagement together at the wheelchair tennis on Monday.

Victoria Mendrinos, 42, from the US, said: "It honestly was awesome to sit near them, it was amazing.

"They really seemed like the best of friends.

"I heard them laughing and joking, they seemed like they had known each other all their lives.

"I heard them talk about how amazing all the guys are. It's such a great event."

The happy couple were snapped at the Invictus Games in Toronto, Canada, with Prince Harry not shying away from public displays of affection.

Clasping Meghan's hand as they walked along, Prince Harry couldn't keep the smile off his face as his stunning girlfriend joined him at the event, cheering on a match of wheelchair tennis.

The pair finally got to sit together today after the royal joined Melania Trump yesterday for the start of the tournament.

And Prince Harry made the most of being able to spend time with his girlfriend, whispering in her ear and joking with the actress.

The couple appeared to enjoy the sports match, clapping along with the audience, while even chatting to other spectators sitting behind them.
