Celebrity musicians, Beyonce and Jay Z, posed in front of a portrait of the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, wearing a crown as they accepted their Brit Awards for best international group.
The Carters were not in attendance at Wednesday’s Brit Award, they accepted their award for best international group via video message.

Beyonce thanked the Brit Awards for honouring her and Jay Z
Paying tribute to Meghan Markle, she wrote: “In honor of Black History Month, we bow down to one of our Melanated Monas. Congrats on your pregnancy! We wish you so much joy.”
The bowing gesture is a reference to their video for Ape**** where they stood in front of the iconic Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The gesture is being interpreted as a gesture of support for the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, who has been the target of extended negative reportage by British tabloids.
