LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Prince Harry’s cowboy hat might’ve been the real headliner at Beyonce’s final Cowboy Carter concert in Los Angeles.

The Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle made a glam public appearance at SoFi Stadium, cozying up and dancing among thousands of Beyhive fans — but it was Harry’s hat that really got people talking.

While Queen Bey herself shared a snap of the royal couple on her website, grinning from ear to ear inside the luxe VIP lounge, Meghan posted a flurry of "date night" pics on social media.

One particularly sweet shot showed Meghan and Harry snuggled up in the crowd, with the latter beaming as he planted a kiss on his wife’s cheek.

In another moment, Meghan looked misty-eyed as Beyonce belted out "16 Carriages" while seated on a floating, American-style vintage car. 

Harry was caught on camera doing what could generously be described as an “awkward shuffle” on the dance floor, the Daily Mail reported.

Prince Harry wore a cowboy hat full of hidden messages

Turns out, Prince Harry’s not-so-ordinary cowboy hat had a few secrets sewn in. The sleek number—a Military Beaver Blend from Aspen-based brand KemoSabe — retails for $895 and comes customized with some personal touches.

Inscribed on the hat were the words “My Love,” “Lili,” and “Archie,” plus both the UK and US flags. A subtle nod to Meghan and their two little ones.

Meghan even gave the hat a shout-out in her Instagram post. “My husband’s hat gets a twirl," she wrote on one of the pics.

It's worth noting that KemoSabe hats start at $225 and climb into the thousands depending on the custom extras, such as exotic feathers, hand-crafted silver buckles, and bold banding. Every hat is hand-steamed and molded to fit the wearer’s head perfectly.

Meghan made sure to show gratitude for their night out. "About last night... Thank you Beyoncé and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night) All love," she captioned her post.

This isn’t the first time the Sussexes have stepped out for Beyonce. They also hit up the Renaissance World Tour in 2023. That time, they were celebrating Meghan’s mom Doria Ragland’s 67th birthday. But the only thing anyone could talk about back then was how unimpressed Harry looked while scrolling on his phone mid-show.

Meghan Markle and Beyonce go way back.

In 2019, Beyonce and Jay-Z accepted a BRIT Award in front of a reimagined portrait of Meghan as a regal Mona Lisa.

"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," they gushed.

When Meghan and Harry’s bombshell Oprah interview aired — the one where Meghan accused the British royal family of racism — Beyonce publicly backed her.

On her website, the 'Halo' singer wrote, "Thank you Meghan for your courage and leadership. We are all strengthened and inspired by you."

Even in their Netflix docuseries 'Harry & Meghan', the Duchess of Sussex bragged that she got a text from Beyonce after that infamous interview aired.

"Beyonce 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 said in disbelief.

"She admires and respects my bravery and vulnerability and thinks I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed," Meghan added.
