On Tuesday night (March 9), Beyoncé accessed her website to extend support to Markle, who opened during the interview about how challenging her time in the real spotlight was.
“Thank you Meghan for your courage and leadership,” wrote Beyoncé next to a photo of the couple meeting for the first time – alongside their famous husbands – at the London premiere of The Lion King in the summer of 2019. “We are all empowered and inspired by you.”
Before Queen Bey even met Meghan, she gave her a subtle cry at the BRIT Awards in February of the same year. In an acceptance video for best international group, The Carters – Beyoncé and Jay-Z – stood in front of a custom painting by Markle and even turned to look at the art after finishing her speech.
