Beyoncé

We're still not sure if Queen Bey and the Duchess of Sussex have actually ever met (we'd like to believe they have), but Beyoncé and JAY-Z did pay homage to the royal at the 2019 Brit Awards. In the couple's acceptance video, the pair were shown admiring a portrait of Meghan, which was created by illustrator Tim O'Brien and originally featured on the cover of The Key's Summer 2018 issue (the publication for Kappa Kappa Gamma members and Meghan's sorority during her time at Northwestern University).

Beyoncé then took her admiration for the duchess a step further and penned a powerful tribute to Meghan on her blog. "Meghan's background as a film and tv actress has allowed her to use her platform for good. Meghan's charitable work in communities of colour began years before becoming the Duchess of Sussex," the note read. "As a global ambassador for World Vision, she travelled to Rwanda to see how access to clean, safe water impacts children, an issue that is near and dear to our hearts. She also visited and supported the Myna Mahila Foundation in Mumbai, an organisation that helps solve the menstruation challenges many women and girls in the community face."
