Meghan Markle was seen cheering on Beyoncé alongside a number of A-list celebrities in an unseen clip from the pop star’s concert earlier this month.
The Duchess of Sussex, 41, stayed close to Lilibet’s billionaire godfather Tyler Perry as she posed for photos at a VIP champagne bar at SoFi Stadium.
Footage on social media showed Meghan laughing with A-list actress Kerry Washington as Hollywood glitterati including Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Jeff Bozos and other big names stood together at one of the biggest celebrity gatherings of 2023.
And a new clip shows the Duchess beaming as Beyoncé shouted out her former Destiny’s Child bandmates, before looking around the VIP box to try and spot them.
In the video, posted to Instagram by @_duchess_of_sussex, the camera pans from a cheering Meghan past a line of stars, including Tyler, Kris and Jeff.

As Beyoncé called out her former bandmate Kelly Rowland, Meghan could be seen holding her hand over her mouth as she cheered the singer’s name, before looking through the box to the others next to her.
Meghan was at SoFi Stadium for Beyoncé’s third of three dates during her Renaissance world tour. She was also at the first performance with Prince Harry, who looked bored as his wife and mother-in-law danced.
The Sussexes have been regulars at celebrity-packed events in California over the past week, after months of largely keeping a low profile.
Her performance with Django Unchained star Washington and Beyoncé’s ex-Destiny’s Child bandmate Rowland will no doubt help her return to Hollywood.
The new clip emerged as Prince Harry and Meghan made a surprise appearance on Kevin Costner’s ‘One805 Live!’ charity event for first responders on Friday, held at his $26 million polo field in Santa Barbara.
The couple was joined by their close friends Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres as they took another step into Hollywood royalty.
The fundraising event — where “last chance” tables cost $12,000 — was hosted at Kevin Costner’s oceanfront estate in Summerland and featured notable guests, including Katy Perry’s parents.
Harry wore black, while Meghan opted for a sophisticated, chic look, in a monochrome jacket with her hair pulled back clean-girl style.
Meanwhile, Jeff Bazos also appeared in the never-before-seen clip shared over the weekend
Upon their arrival, the Duke and Duchess – who have just returned from a PDA-packed performance at the Invictus Games in Germany – were spotted backstage chatting with Costner, his VIP guests and senior police and fire officials.
Speaking at the event, Costner said: ‘Good afternoon everyone, I get a lot of questions from my friends who have no manners… ‘Kev, how much does this place cost, what is it worth?’ I can just tell you that on a day like today, it’s worth every penny.
“We can highlight people you might never meet, the ones who rush in first,” he added. “It’s a place where I’ve been very lucky in my life and I try not to put a wall around it.”
Harry and Meghan were introduced on stage as special guests and Meghan presented Kevin with an honorary award – before doing a mini Royal-style walkabout to greet other attendees.
Meghan, who recently pulled the plug on her Archetypes podcast, beamed at the camera throughout the event, while Harry was sometimes caught staring into the distance.
After their moment on stage, the couple headed to the VIP area where they were stopped by pop singer Katy Perry’s mom and dad and posed for a selfie.
Another influential participant, Oprah Winfrey, gave a talk on stage.
The talk show host — who conducted the royal couple’s infamously explosive interview in 2021 — introduced a man named Sam Dudley and his service dog Rhonda in a video reposted to One805 Instagram stories.
“Sam, in addition to all the extraordinary things One805 does, they have a counseling service where they mentor over 700 first responders and have prevented 24 suicides this year alone,” she said. “And Sam knows all too well how useful the one805 advisory services are.”
