Abigail, a friend who featured in Meghan's recent photograph, confirmed her absence from the event, revealing that she had been banned by Beyoncé. This ban follows Abigail's involvement in Meghan's previous PR antics, which were notably featured in a Netflix documentary.
In the documentary, Meghan hired her friends to stage a dance performance in Montecito to fabricate PR photos, all in the pursuit of fame. While Meghan Markle may be a fan of Beyoncé's music, she also demonstrated her admiration for the superstar's fashion sense during the Renaissance World Tour.
Meghan donned a shimmering skirt as she joined thousands of fans at the Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles to enjoy the concert alongside her husband, Prince Harry. Her outfit paid homage to the disco chic aesthetic of Beyoncé's album, radiating both sleekness and fun. Meghan paired her statement skirt, priced at £445 and reportedly from the retailer strawman, with a sleeveless white top.
She also sported embellished white and silver heels priced at £1,215 from Uncle Zura, ensuring she looked the part as she danced the night away. Meghan maintained a natural makeup look and wore her chestnut tresses in a relaxed blowout.
As Meghan and the crowd reveled in Beyoncé's music, Prince Harry seemed less engrossed in the performance. The couple was spotted in a private box along with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, and Meghan's "Suits" co-star and close friend, Abigail Spencer. The group donned silver attire in accordance with the singer's request for her fans to wear the color to her show. Meghan was seen clapping and dancing while Doria, celebrating her 67th birthday on that day, joined in the dancing. Harry, on the other hand, appeared more preoccupied, either with his hands firmly in his pockets or glued to his phone.
This event marked the beginning of a busy week for the Sussexes, with Prince Harry scheduled to travel to London for a charity event on the eve of the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's passing. Afterward, he is set to visit Dusseldorf, Germany, for the start of the Invictus Games.
Notably, this is not the first time the royal couple has crossed paths with Beyoncé. In 2019, Beyoncé accepted a BRIT Award in front of a portrait depicting Meghan as a royal version of the Mona Lisa. In a post explaining their decision to feature Meghan in the frame, Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, wrote, "In honor of Black History Month, we bow down to one of our melanated Monas. Congratulations on your pregnancy. We wish you so much joy."
Beyoncé had previously praised Meghan's courage and leadership after the Sussexes' revealing interview with Oprah, where Meghan spoke about experiencing racism within the royal family.
In one episode of their Netflix documentary, "Harry and Meghan," the Duchess of Sussex revealed that she had received supportive texts from Beyoncé, who expressed admiration for Meghan's bravery, vulnerability, and the belief that Meghan was chosen to break generational curses. These messages served as a testament to the support and respect that Beyoncé extended to Meghan during a tumultuous period in her life.
