They’re two of the most famous couples on the entire planet - and they finally came face-to-face in July 2019.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were guests of honour at the European premiere of The Lion King in London - and Beyonce and Jay Z couldn’t hide their delight at finally meeting the royal couple.

After making their way down the yellow carpet to the tune of Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Meghan and Beyonce definitely were feeling the love as they shared a hug before the Duchess held the singer’s hand affectionately.

Beyonce then told her: “We love you guys.”

Awwwwww.

As former actress Meghan, who is on maternity leave following the birth of son Archie, chatted with Beyonce and Jay-Z, the rapper could be heard saying “congrats” while his wife said “baby, so beautiful”.

Harry kissed Beyonce on both cheeks and appeared to mention that the American couple were a busy pair.

The singer answered: “A little bit. No more busy than you guys.”

The premiere on Sunday was held in “support of the conservation and communities work of His Royal Highness through The Royal Foundation”, Buckingham Palace said.

Meghan was out and about with Archie and Harry on Wednesday at a charity polo match with the Cambridges.

She also made two trips to Wimbledon to watch her close friend Serena Williams.

After the film, Harry and Meghan were expected to greet representatives from organisations doing groundbreaking work in the areas of conservation and the environment.

Disney has announced its global conservation campaign Protect the Pride to mark the movie’s release.

With conservation partners and the Royal Foundation, the drive aims to raise awareness and support efforts to recover the dwindling lion population across Africa.

Buckingham Palace said: “The Duke of Sussex has taken a deep personal interest in frontline conservation projects that work to protect Africa’s natural heritage and support both wildlife and local communities.”

Harry and Meghan are taking baby Archie to South Africa in the autumn.

The duke is also carrying out solo visits to Angola, Malawi and Botswana.

The Sussexes’ approach to privacy has made headlines after they decided not to reveal details of Archie’s godparents following his private christening, and after a royal protection officer asked a Wimbledon fan, who was photographing Serena Williams, not to take pictures of Meghan.
