Queen Bey just paid tribute to the royal mum-to-be in an Instagram post following her and Jay-Z’s win for Best International Duo during last night’s BRIT Awards. The pair accepted the award with a video featuring a regal portrait of Meghan Markle, and honestly, we’re here for it.
“Thank you to the Brits for the award for Best International Group,” Bey started the caption. “I won this award back in 2002 with my besties, Kelly and Michelle. How lucky am I to have been in a group with my other best friend, the GOAT Hova.”
She then continued with a sweet message to the Duchess: “In honour of Black History Month, we bow down to one of our Melanated Monas,” Beyoncé continued, referencing the duchess’ historic position as a biracial woman married into the British royal family. “Congrats on your pregnancy! We wish you so much joy.”
And if that wasn’t enough to spark some feels, Queen Bey also wrote a tribute to Meghan on her website. She not only acknowledged the Duchess’s work with organisations, but also praised her for embracing black culture in the royal spotlight.
"Meghan brought many Black traditions to her Royal Wedding including a Chicago-based Black pastor, an amazing gospel choir, and a young Black cellist,” the post reads. “At the wedding her culture was front and centre, and she and Prince Harry have continued to push the race relations dialogue forward both near and far.”
