Meghan Markle dances the night away at Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour in Los Angeles - as Prince Harry awkwardly shuffles in a cowboy hat
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were spotted enjoying the fifth night of Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour in California on Friday in a sweet behind-the-scenes snap.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were among thousands of fans who crowded into the SoFi Stadium yesterday as the artist performed her last show in Los Angeles before heading to Chicago.
Afterwards, Beyoncé shared a photograph of the royals on her website, capturing the grinning couple as they cosied up inside the luxurious VIP lounge.
Fans also snuck clips of Prince Harry from nearby seats, with the Duke of Sussex seen somewhat awkwardly shuffling around as his wife danced in front of him.
Both the Duke and Duchess were dressed to theme for the Cowboy Carter Tour, with Harry donning a dark green, wide rimmed hat, dark jeans and casual grey jacket.
Meghan dressed up in a tight-fitting denim dress, which she wore off-the-shoulder.
She wore her hair up for the night, and was later spotted wearing her husband's hat as the concert amped up with a remixed rendition of Texas Hold 'Em.
The Halo singer - who kicked off her tour just over year and a half after she wrapped up her whirlwind Renaissance World Tour — has welcomed Harry and Meghan to her shows previously.
In 2023, the royals attended the Renaissance World Tour also at the SoFi Stadium, where Prince Harry once again appeared less than impressed - and more interested in his phone.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had attended the concert to celebrate the 67th birthday of Meghan's mother Doria Ragland.
And this was far from the first time the royal couple had crossed paths with Beyoncé.
In fact, in 2019, Queen Bey accepted a Brit Award in front of a portrait showing Meghan as a royal version of the Mona Lisa.
In a post explaining why they had decided to put Meghan in the frame, the power couple wrote: 'In honour of Black History Month, we bow down to one of our Melanated Monas. Congrats on your pregnancy! We wish you so much joy.'

Beyoncé publicly praised Meghan's bravery after the Sussexes' bombshell interview with Oprah, during which the Duchess claimed to have been subjected to racist treatment within the Royal Family.
Beyoncé posted on her website: 'Thank you Meghan for your courage and leadership. We are all strengthened and inspired by you.'
In one episode of their Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex claimed to have received a supportive text from Queen Bey.
She told the camera crew: 'Beyoncé just texted, just checking in... I still can't believe she knows who I am…' She said she wants me to feel safe and protected.
'She admires and respects my bravery and vulnerability and thinks I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed.'
The couples previously had a cringe-inducing meeting with the pop megastar and her husband Jay-Z during The Lion King premiere in 2019.
The famous couples met up on the red carpet and engaged in small talk, with Beyoncé reportedly calling Meghan 'my princess'.
However, things took an awkward turn when the Sussexes spoke to the film's director Jon Favreau and appeared to ask him if there were any voiceover roles available for Meghan.
Video of the encounter showed Beyoncé covering her face before uncomfortably looking away, with social media users suggesting she was cringing over the exchange.
There was to be a similar exchange later in the evening when Prince Harry touted his wife's acting chops to Disney CEO Bob Iger.
During conversation, Harry asks: 'You do know she does voiceovers?'
Iger can be heard replying: 'Ah, I did not know that.' Harry then responds: 'You seem surprised. She's really interested.' The Disney chief then says: 'We'd love to try. That's a great idea.'

BREAKING NEWS Atlantic Starr singer Wayne Lewis dies at 68 as tributes pour in for R&B legend
Wayne Lewis of the legendary R&B band Atlantic Starr has died. The singer, songwriter, and co-founding member of the group was 68. The band announced his passing in a heartfelt Facebook post on June 6, writing: 'It's with great sadness we have to post the passing of Wayne Lewis on June 5, 2025. 'Please keep the family in your prayers and respect their privacy. #waynelewis #restinpeace #flyhigh Sunrise 4/13/1957 Sunset 6/5/2025 #restinpeaceWayne.' A cause of death has not yet been revealed. Lewis was a driving force behind Atlantic Starr, a New York-based group formed in the mid-1970s with his brothers David and Jonathan Lewis. The band rose to fame in the '80s with their signature blend of smooth soul, R&B, and pop — becoming staples on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts. Wayne Lewis served as both lead vocalist and keyboardist, contributing to some of the band's biggest hits, including Always, Secret Lovers, Circles, Silver Shadow, and Masterpiece. Their 1987 ballad Always hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a wedding anthem for a generation. Tributes have poured in across social media. 'A great songwriter. Atlantic Star was better once he became leader. He will be missed,' one fan wrote. Another praised him as 'a great songwriter' and 'an icon of soulful love songs.' Yet another added, 'Omg I'm devastated. I was looking forward to seeing them perform this Sunday at Capital Jazz Festival. My condolences.' Wayne co-founded Atlantic Starr in 1976 in White Plains, New York, alongside his brothers David and Jonathan Lewis, originally forming the band under the name Newban before changing it ahead of their first major label signing.

EXCLUSIVE Kylie Jenner's BFF Stassie nearly spills out of plunging dress after admitting to plastic surgery regrets
Kylie Jenner 's best friend made quite the appearance at a recent event in Los Angeles. Anastasia 'Stassie' Karanikolaou, 27, who has admitted to regretting some plastic surgery procedures, put on a busty display as she helped celebrate the grand opening of the Oh Polly store on Friday. The Better Half podcast host showed off her curves, modeling a pale pink strappy sequined mini-dress with a plunging neckline. Her toned legs looked even longer with help from some nude high heel sandals. The social media star wore natural-looking, camera-ready makeup with a neutral red lip. Her long, dark hair was styled straight and she kept her accessories simple, opting for a thin gold bracelet and gold hoop earrings. She attended the event with fellow influencer and friend Victoria Villarroel, 33. The Grown-ish actress turned up the heat wearing a black strapless sequined dress with a tuxedo jacket. The model stepped out in transparent high heel mules. Her long, dark hair was styled straight and she accentuated her camera-ready makeup with a soft red lip. Karanikolaou recently confirmed that she had undergone a Brazilian Butt Lift several years ago while making an appearance on Bravo Bri's podcast in mid-May. A BBL, as it's known, removes a patient's fat from their torso, hips or legs which is then implanted in the buttocks area for a more full derriere. 'I don't have a** implants and I don't think it's anything I can hide at this point, yes I have a BBL. I moved fat around,' she explained. She also admitted to getting a breast augmentation. 'Obviously I got this done super young. It's something that I regret and I think that's why it's been so hard to talk about for so long,' she explained. At the time, Karanikolaou revealed she was planning on making a modification to her BBL to 'reduce the size of it a little more,' as she wants to have a more natural appearance overall. The model, who apparently had the surgery in her late teens, explained the pressure she felt to modify her body at the time. 'But I just feel like I was at a point in my life when I was younger and I felt like my lips needed to be big, my boobs needed to be big. Everything ... my butt needed to be big,' she said of her mindset.

'80s icon reveals bizarre moment he and Caitlyn Jenner were told to 'stuff their shorts with socks' for film
One of the biggest stars of the 1980s is looking back on a bizarre moment he and Caitlyn Jenner shared on set. Steve Guttenberg — who rose to stardom with roles in hits including Diner (1982), Police Academy (1984), Cocoon (1985) and Three Men And A Baby (1987) — recalled how he and Jenner, 75, got an unusual request when they were filming the 1980 film Can't Stop The Music. The 66-year-old actor said he and the Olympic decathlete — who was making her film debut — were asked to 'stuff' their shorts with socks in order to give them more prominent bulges, according to Page Six. 'I did wear really skimpy shorts,' he explained to the publication earlier this week. Guttenberg said that it was a request from Allan Carr, who co-wrote and produced the film, that he and Jenner 'stuff our shorts with socks to make it look a little bigger.' 'We didn't need it by the way. I mean I told Alan, "No need for a sock!"' Guttenberg recalled joking. Despite the attempt to make Guttenberg and Jenner appear more virile, Can't Stop The Music ended up being a box office flop and a critical bomb. The disco musical was a biography charting the rise of The Village People — though it was fictional — and featured Guttenberg as a very loose stand-in for the group's co-creator, the French songwriter and record producer Jacques Morali. Jenner, who came out as a transgender woman in 2015, played a lawyer who confusingly found himself swept up in the creation of the Village People, leading him to quit his job after his firm refuses to represent the burgeoning disco group. Carr, the same person who allegedly convinced Guttenberg and Jenner to stuff their shorts on set, saw the film as a star-making vehicle for the Olympic gold medalist, and in 1979 he told the New York Times that Can't Stop The Music would make Jenner 'the Robert Redford of the '80s.' But following the critical and commercial failure of the cult camp film, Jenner's acting work was confined to television appearances, and she didn't appear again in a feature film until 2011's critically reviled comedy Jack And Jill, which starred Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes and Al Pacino. Guttenberg, who also spoke about his career heights to Page Six, warned that actors need to be wary of developing too much of an ego, 'because it's a very fragile business and you cannot believe what you see.' 'You're very important today, and tomorrow nobody knows who you are,' he said. He said he had tried to be 'level-headed' about the hot-and-cold nature of Hollywood, where success is reward but failure can lead actors to quickly be dumped. Guttenberg's most recent project is the Lifetime movie Kidnapped By A Killer, in which he plays John Edward Robinson, who is the first serial killer reported to have used the internet to connect him with his victims. Robinson, who admitted to committing multiple murders, is currently serving multiple life sentences from a trial in Missouri and is on death row after being convicted of three murders in Kansas. Guttenberg said he put in 'a ton of research' to play the convicted killer. 'I thought it was an incredible opportunity, because to play a serial killer, most actors, you get one chance in your whole life to play a serial killer and this is a good one,' he said. He added that he was confined to a makeup chair for an hour and a half every day of shooting to achieve Robinson's distinctive look, and he was even forced to put on weight to look more like the convicted killer. 'It was great,' the Three Men And A Baby star joked. '[I ate] ice cream, pasta, that part was really fun.' Guttenberg gained renewed attention earlier this year when he helped his neighbors evacuate Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades neighborhood when deadly fires swept through the city in January. His own $5 million Palisades home was ultimately spared, but it suffered 'terrible smoke damage.' 'Everything needs to be replaced,' he said, and the job will likely take a full year. In the meantime, Guttenberg has been living across the country in New York while his West Coast home is repaired. The temporary move overlapped with the end of the Cocoon star's marriage, as he filed to divorce his wife-of-six-years Emily Smith in April. They had been together since at least 2014 and tied the knot in 2019. Guttenberg was previously married to the model Denise Bixler from 1988 until their 1991 separation. They divorced the following year.
