After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made the decision to step away from their royal duties in 2020, they quickly found themselves embraced by a new kind of royalty in Hollywood. With support from influential figures like the Clooneys, Serena Williams, Elton John, and Tyler Perry, the couple found temporary refuge in Perry’s Los Angeles home before eventually settling in Montecito.
Their transition into this new elite circle was highlighted in a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey and later in their Netflix show, “Harry & Meghan.” In one episode, viewers saw Meghan receive a text from none other than Beyoncé, who praised her for being chosen to “break generational curses that need to be healed.”
Interestingly, Meghan and Harry’s connection with Beyoncé actually dates back to July 2019 when they met the music icon at the London premiere of “The Lion King.” However, their bond goes even deeper, as Beyoncé and Jay Z had previously acknowledged Meghan’s philanthropic work in communities of color before she became a royal. In fact, the couple had even dedicated a Brit award acceptance speech to Meghan, showcasing her in royal attire in the background.
Beyoncé’s website also featured a section called “#WeGood” dedicated to celebrating Black cultural figures, where Meghan was highlighted for her efforts to promote racial equality and inclusion. From incorporating her culture into her royal wedding to continuing to advocate for important social issues, Meghan and Harry have been at the forefront of pushing the dialogue on race relations forward.
This new chapter in Meghan and Harry’s lives showcases their journey from traditional royalty to influential figures in the entertainment industry. As they navigate this new path, they continue to inspire and make a positive impact on society.
