Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were spotted enjoying the fifth night of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour in California on Friday in a sweet behind-the-scenes snap.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were among thousands of fans who crowded into the SoFi Stadium yesterday as the artist performed her last show in Los Angeles before heading to Chicago.

Afterwards, Beyoncé shared a photograph of the royals on her website, capturing the grinning couple as they cosied up inside the luxurious VIP lounge.

Fans also snuck clips of Prince Harry from nearby seats, with the Duke of Sussex seen somewhat awkwardly shuffling around as his wife danced in front of him.

Both the Duke and Duchess were dressed to theme for the Cowboy Carter Tour, with Harry donning a dark green, wide rimmed hat, dark jeans and casual grey jacket.

Meghan dressed up in a tight-fitting denim dress, which she wore off-the-shoulder.

She wore her hair up for the night, and was later spotted wearing her husband’s hat as the concert amped up with a remixed rendition of Texas Hold ‘Em.     

The Halo singer – who kicked off her tour just over year and a half after she wrapped up her whirlwind Renaissance World Tour — has welcomed Harry and Meghan to her shows previously.

In 2023, the royals attended the Renaissance World Tour also at the SoFi Stadium, where Prince Harry once again appeared less than impressed – and more interested in his phone.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had attended the concert to celebrate the 67th birthday of Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland.

And this was far from the first time the royal couple had crossed paths with Beyoncé.

In fact, in 2019, Queen Bey accepted a Brit Award in front of a portrait showing Meghan as a royal version of the Mona Lisa.

In a post explaining why they had decided to put Meghan in the frame, the power couple wrote: ‘In honour of Black History Month, we bow down to one of our Melanated Monas. Congrats on your pregnancy! We wish you so much joy.’

Beyoncé publicly praised Meghan’s bravery after the Sussexes’ bombshell interview with Oprah, during which the Duchess claimed to have been subjected to racist treatment within the Royal Family.

Beyoncé posted on her website: ‘Thank you Meghan for your courage and leadership. We are all strengthened and inspired by you.’

In one episode of their Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex claimed to have received a supportive text from Queen Bey. 

She told the camera crew: ‘Beyoncé just texted, just checking in… I still can’t believe she knows who I am…’ She said she wants me to feel safe and protected.

‘She admires and respects my bravery and vulnerability and thinks I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed.’

The couples previously had a cringe-inducing meeting with the pop megastar and her husband Jay-Z during The Lion King premiere in 2019.

The famous couples met up on the red carpet and engaged in small talk, with Beyoncé reportedly calling Meghan ‘my princess’. 

However, things took an awkward turn when the Sussexes spoke to the film’s director Jon Favreau and appeared to ask him if there were any voiceover roles available for Meghan.

Video of the encounter showed Beyoncé covering her face before uncomfortably looking away, with social media users suggesting she was cringing over the exchange.

There was to be a similar exchange later in the evening when Prince Harry touted his wife’s acting chops to Disney CEO Bob Iger.

During conversation, Harry asks: ‘You do know she does voiceovers?’

Iger can be heard replying: ‘Ah, I did not know that.’ Harry then responds: ‘You seem surprised. She’s really interested.’ The Disney chief then says: ‘We’d love to try. That’s a great idea.’
