In case you missed it, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had the best date night ever at Beyoncé’s concert. The two-day event on May 10 & 11, 2023, was held at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park in San Diego. Their presence was part of a trip to celebrate Meghan’s mom Doria Ragland’s birthday. The stunning outdoor venue served as a perfect backdrop to Beyoncé’s mesmerizing performance, presented as part of her long awaited Renaissance tour.
Beyoncé – the six-time Grammy award winner, creator, artist, powerhouse – took Prince Harry by surprise with a personalized concert cowboy hat. The hat featured the American and British flags next to an outline of the continent of Africa. It showed Harry’s two grandkids, Archie Harrison, and a touching message from Harry towards Meghan, addressing her as “my love.” Even more meaningful than the lyrics, perhaps, was this move—that singer’s intimate friendship with the newlyweds was evident.
Meghan Markle helped make their evening one to remember by posting about it all over social media. She posted pictures and footage of Beyoncé signing items specifically for them. She called the night a “once-in-a-lifetime experience” and said she was living in her “concert era,” thanking everyone for the opportunity.
“About last night…. Thank you @beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love,” – Meghan Markle
The concert made the couple nostalgic for their early, adventurous years in the Big Apple. They’ve produced some of her most iconic performances throughout the years. Among her many accomplishments, she got to perform at The Lion King’s European debut in London, 2019, when Meghan was in attendance. Beyoncé even acknowledged their connection during a previous Brit Awards acceptance speech, stating, “In honor of Black History Month, we bow down to one of our Melanated Monas. Congrats on your pregnancy! We wish you so much joy.”
They were seen posing for photos with musician James Taylor and his guest during the concert. Their playful presence really contributed to the celebratory mood of the evening. Along with her stunning performance, Beyoncé shared a spoken word message of love via Instagram, wishing the couple well on their journey.
The couple’s attendance at Beyoncé’s concert represents not only their admiration for the artist but their commitment to celebrating family milestones together. Now, within that context, they are navigating a new life outside of royal service. Evenings like these allow them to reconnect with their families and nurture those personal relationships in return.
