On Sunday, Meghan Markle joined husband Prince Harry for the European premiere of Disney’s live-action remake of 1994’s “The Lion King.”

After walking the gold carpet at Leicester Square in London, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex greeted the superstar singer, 37, and her husband, Jay-Z. Meghan embraced Beyoncé with a hug and Harry shook the rapper’s hand.

Fresh off Saturday’s appearance at Wimbledon, Meghan, also 37, rocked a black Jason Wu dress and Aquazzura heels, while Harry, 34, looked dashing in a tux.

As for Beyoncé, who voices lioness Nala in the Disney remake, she opted for a yellow gown for the big night.

In addition to mingling with the music industry’s royal pair, new parents Meghan and Harry also spoke with Elton John, who wrote a number of songs featured on the film’s soundtrack.

Although baby Archie didn’t make Sunday’s screening, the young royal got to attend his dad’s polo match earlier in the week.
