Prince Harry wore a gray shirt and blazer paired with white pants while both Meghan Markle and her mother wore something silver to Beyoncé's show, in keeping with the singer's request that the audience wear something silver.
She wrote on her Instagram Story, "Virgo season is upon us. This tour has been such a joy and as we approach the last month, my birthday wish is to celebrate with you wearing your most fabulous silver fashions to the shows 8.23 - 9.22!"
The dates she listed correspond to her zodiac sign, Virgo. She turned 42 years old on Sept. 4. She added, "We'll surround ourselves in a shimmering human disco ball each night. Everybody mirroring each other's joy. Virgo season together in a house of chrome. See you there!"
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's appearance at Beyoncé's show comes a day after Princess Diana's death anniversary on Aug. 31 and critics of the couple have since shared their dismay at their actions.
"ToDiFor Daily" podcast host Kinsey Schofield told Cristo over at TalkTV that the former "Suits" star was "losing her mind" as she was "shaking her tailfeather" at the show.
"It's the perfect example of why they did not fit in the royal family. They don't understand the concept of common sense, when something's appropriate...," she said.
Schofield admitted that she may be in the "wrong" to say it is inappropriate for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to be partying after Princess Diana's death anniversary. But she reiterated that she still found it "cringe behaviour" on their part.
She also addressed claims that the Duke of Sussex did not have a good time at the show following the release of a few photos that showed him looking grim. She said her friend Matt was seated near the couple at the private box and can attest that he had "a blast" and that he "wasn't miserable despite the pictures."

In his memoir "Spare," the Duke of Sussex recalled taking Meghan Markle to visit his mother's grave in Althorp. He wrote, "No visit to this place was ever easy, but this one... twenty-fifth anniversary and Meg's first time. At long last, I was bringing the girl of my dreams home to meet mum."
"We hesitated, hugging, and then I went first. I placed flowers on the grave. Meg gave me a moment, and I spoke to my mother in my head, told her I missed her, asked her for guidance and clarity."
He said he gave his wife a moment with Princess Diana. When he came back, he found her "kneeling, eyes shut and her palms against the stone." He asked her what she had prayed for and revealed that the both prayed for the same, clarity and guidance.
Aside from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Tyler Perry, the godfather of the couple's daughter, Princess Lilibet Diana, also attended Beyoncé's "Renaissance World Tour" on Sept. 1 Other celebrities spotted were Pedro Pascal, LeBron James, Sarah Paulson, Kris Jenner, Magic Johnson, and Kali Uchis.
