Meghan Markle parties with Kardashians, Kelly Rowland at Beyoncé’s show amid Hollywood return
She’s bowing to a different queen now.
Royally grooving the night away, Meghan Markle was spotted snapping pics with Hollywood hotshots Kelly Rowland, 42, and Kerry Washington, 46, at Beyoncé’s third Renaissance World Tour stop in Los Angeles on Monday — Queen Bey’s 42nd birthday.
Her appearance alongside the superstars comes as yet another sign of her suspected relaunch into the limelight.
Markle, 42, struck a fierce pose with the “Bow Down” diva’s former Destiny’s Child bandmate and the “Scandal” star at the SoFi Stadium for fame photographer Kevin Mazur, whose résumé boasts an impressive list of shoots with the A-lister likes of Kim Kardashian and David Bowie.
Viral video shared to TikTok showed a smiling Markle inside the show’s exclusive Armand de Brignac Champagne VIP bar. She stood amongst a sea of top-tier celebrities such as Katy Perry, Lizzo, Justin and Hailey Bieber, the Kardashians, Jeff Bezos, Chris Rock and Tyler Perry — the billionaire godfather to her and Prince Harry’s daughter, Lilibet, age 2.
The Duchess of Sussex, who also attended Beyoncé’s premiere performance in LA with Harry, 38, Friday, rocked a high-necked black top and shimmering bottoms for the “B’Day” singer’s big birthday concert — during which the songstress welcomed legend Diana Ross, 79, and rapper Kendrick Lamar, 36, onstage.
Her causal, yet chic fashion was reminiscent of the laid-back look she famously sported during her days as an actress and influencer — years prior to marrying into the royal family in May 2018 and adopting a more formal style.
But Markle’s return to her former flair is likely no innocent coincidence.
Markle is rumored to be in talks with “big-name directors and producers” aimed at reprising her presence on the silver screen.
The ex-“Suits” star-turned-Buckingham Palace regular is also said to be on the brink of a massive commercial relaunch of her Tig blog to rival Gwyneth Paltrow’s $250 million wellness and lifestyle imprint, Goop.
There’s also chatter about a comeback to Instagram. Insiders have reportedly predicted that Markle could rake in a whopping $1 million or more per sponsored post on the app.
The royal honey’s big night out with the bigwigs came just days after her “Spare”-scribing hubby was seen mingling with the LA heavy-hitters like “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Rob McElhenney, 46, “Barbie” actor Will Ferrell, 56, and venture capitalist Adam Lilling — who is believed to be helping the Sussexes with their big rebrand.
Harry is reportedly scheduled to travel to the UK on Thursday to attend the annual WellChild Awards in London, a charity of which he remains a patron.
However, there are no plans for him to meet his father, King Charles III, or brother Prince William — despite the fact that Friday, Sept. 8, marks the one-year anniversary of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
Rumored contention between the Sussexes and the royal family remains at an all-time high.
In fact, ahead of Harry’s 39th birthday on Sept. 15, a former butler to Charles has said that Prince William, 41, might only send his estranged younger brother a “text or email” to merely acknowledge his big day as the “damage” to the relationship may be irreparable.
“If they chat on WhatsApp, he might get a text, or he might get an email,” said the ex-servant to Slingo. “I hope they do reach out. I’d like to think William would pick up the phone to wish him a happy birthday.”
“I would hope that Harry would do the same to them on their birthdays,” he added.
