The “Motivation” singer also alluded to the British royal family, which the formerSuitsstar became part of when she marriedPrince Harryin 2018. The couple stepped back from their royal roles in 2020 and relocated to Meghan’s home state California, where they reside with their sonPrince Archie, 4, and daughterPrincess Lilibet, 2.
“She was royal before she was in that family. I think that we are royalty before anything. And we have to hold ourselves in that regard as humans, as people,” Rowland said.
In addition to the birthday show, the Duchess of Sussex, 42, attended Beyoncé’sfirst Los Angeles showof the Renaissance World Tour at SoFi Stadium in L.A. on Sept. 1 with her husband Harry and momDoria Ragland.

“Just checking in,” Meghan said with a smile reading the message. “I still can’t believe she knows who I am!”
“Go and call her,” Harry suggested. “No, it’s okay,” his wife replied. “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.”
“That’s well said,” Prince Harry said.
