Meghan Markle and Prince Harry gave fans an intimate peek into their relationship with a rare Instagram post from their night out at Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter concert in California. The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram late Friday to share a collection of eight photos and videos capturing moments from their glamorous evening, and one particularly affectionate shot is warming hearts across the internet.
The carousel post, which included a behind-the-scenes look at the couple’s outing, was captioned: “About last night…. Thank you @beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love.”
Among the images, one photo especially stood out. Prince Harry can be seen gently kissing Meghan on the cheek while she beams, her eyes closed in a candid, joyful moment.
It’s a rare display of affection from the royal couple, who have largely kept their relationship personal since stepping back from royal duties.
In the other pictures and short video clips, Meghan appears radiant in a denim, off-the-shoulder dress that perfectly matched the Western glam theme of Beyoncé’s current tour.
Harry looked relaxed yet stylish in a grey jacket and a striking green fedora, showing his willingness to lean into the evening’s vibe. The couple appeared to be backstage or in a VIP area, mingling with friends and soaking in the energy of the concert.
The post marks one of the few times Meghan has shared such a personal glimpse into their life on social media.
This isn’t the first time Meghan and Harry have attended one of Beyoncé’s shows. In September 2023, they were seen in the crowd at the Renaissance World Tour, also held at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Meghan was also photographed attending a second concert just days later, celebrating Beyoncé’s birthday performance alongside friends Kerry Washington and Kelly Rowland.
Fans may recall that Meghan has been a vocal admirer of the global superstar for years.
Before marrying Harry, Meghan often quoted Beyoncé lyrics on her now-deleted personal Instagram account.
Their relationship with the singer became more public when the royal couple met Beyoncé and Jay-Z at the London premiere of The Lion King in 2019.
Following Meghan’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, Beyoncé posted a tribute to her on her official website, writing:
“Thank you Meghan for your courage and leadership. We are all strengthened and inspired by you.”
