Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has praised Meghan Markle following her interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The hitmaker, 39, shared her admiration for the Duchess of Sussex by sharing a gushing message to the wife of Prince Harry on her personal website.
Former Destiny's Child band member Beyoncé told in the touching post that Suits star Meghan "strengthened and inspired" her and commended the expectant mother's "courage and leadership."
The tribute, accompanied by a photo of the pair captured at The Lion King movie premier in 2019, read: "Thank you Meghan for your courage and leadership. We are all strengthened and inspired by you."
Halo singer Beyoncé's words followed on from Meghan and Prince Harry sitting down with chatshow icon Oprah.
The bombshell interview - which aired in the USA on Sunday night and was showed in the UK on Monday evening - rocked the world as the husband and wife made several allegations about life in the life in the Royal family.
Both the Duke and Duchess admitted that being part of The Firm left them feeling "trapped" and "silenced."
The couple also spoke out about being financially cut off from the Royal Family, racist comments about Archie's skin tone, relying on inheritance from Princess Diana to survive, and Prince Harry revealed that his father, Prince Charles, stopped taking his calls.
Meghan also said that she had suicidal thoughts during her first pregnancy, saying she "thought it would have solved everything for everyone".
