Meghan Markle has been spotted in a Los Angeles park taking part in a photo shoot, sparking rumours of a new collaboration.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was caught on TikTok in what fans speculated was an announcement.
The royals have invested in and worked with a number of brands, and the clip appears to show a stylist adjusting the former actresses’ sleeves in Beverly Hills, near a famous cafe, Alfred’s Café.
Fans have said it could be a tracksuit from German sportswear brand Adidas and Beyoncé’s Ivy Park.
The clip may be hinting at a return to Beyoncé’s partnership with Adidas – Ivy Park – after the 41-year-old superstar and the sportswear corporation made the mutual decision to end the partnership last year.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was spotted in a park in Beverley Hills and appeared to be taking part in a photo shoot.
Meghan could be the ideal partner for the brand, given her long friendship with the Single Ladies singer, and even enjoyed a night out on Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour in California in 2023, even though Prince Harry seemed sad and disinterested.
Femail has contacted Meghan, Ivy Park and Adidas for comment.
In the TikTok video, Meghan looked in high spirits as she chatted and laughed with the stylist and team getting her ready for the shoot.
The Duchess styled her shiny brunette locks in her signature waves as she prepared for the photo shoot. She teamed the tracksuit with a pair of casual trainers.
Beyoncé and Adidas began their collaboration in 2018, at which point Adidas took over Ivy Park’s clothing production, while Beyoncé also worked on footwear and apparel for the iconic brand.
The news of the corporate divorce came after Wall Street Journal It was reported in February that Ivy Park only did about $40 million worth of business, compared to original expectations of $250 million in sales.
According to THR’s source, Beyoncé and Adidas had had issues over creative differences, which led to the deal’s expiration.
However, Meghan, who is also working on launching her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, could be the face of Ivy Park’s comeback.
Given his platform and friendship with Jay Z’s wife, he would probably be a good fit for the clothing brand.
It wouldn’t be the first time royalty has crossed paths with Beyoncé, as Queen Bey accepted a Brit Award in 2019 in front of a portrait depicting Meghan as a royal version of the Mona Lisa.
In a post explaining why they had decided to include Meghan in the frame, the power couple wrote: ‘In honor of Black History Month, we bow down to one of our Melanated Monas. Congratulations on your pregnancy! We wish you much joy.’
On TikTok, the royal mother of two appeared to be wearing an Adidas X Ivy Park tracksuit.
The Single Ladies singer and Meghan have a long-standing friendship (seen at The Lion King premiere in London, 2019)
The Duchess of Sussex is seen hugging Beyoncé at the European premiere of Disney’s The Lion King at the Odeon Leicester Square, London, with Prince Harry behind.
Beyoncé publicly praised Meghan’s bravery after the Sussexes’ shocking interview with Oprah, during which the duchess claimed to have been subjected to racist treatment within the Royal Family.
Beyoncé posted on her website: ‘Thank you Meghan for your courage and leadership. We are all empowered and inspired by you.’
In an episode of her Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex claimed to have received a text message of support from Queen Bey.
She told the camera crew: ‘Beyoncé just texted, just to check up on me… I still can’t believe she knows who I am…’ She said she wants me to feel safe and protected.
“She admires and respects my bravery and vulnerability and believes I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed.”
The couples had already had an embarrassing encounter with the pop megastar and her husband Jay-Z during the premiere of The Lion King in 2019.
The famous couples met on the red carpet and chatted for a while, with Beyoncé reportedly calling Meghan “my princess.”
However, things took an awkward turn when the Sussexes spoke to the film’s director Jon Favreau and appeared to ask if there were any voice-over roles available for Meghan.
In a parody of their Apes**t video that featured Beyoncé and Jay Z standing in front of the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, the superstar couple posed in front of a portrait of Meghan Markle wearing a crown.
In this image shared on Instagram, Beyoncé wrote: ‘In honor of Black History Month, we bow down to one of our Melano Monas’ while posing in front of a portrait of Meghan.
Video of the encounter showed Beyoncé covering her face before looking away in discomfort, with social media users suggesting she was embarrassed by the exchange.
It comes after Nacho Figueras became the latest high-profile figure to show off PR gifts sent by Meghan Markle’s American Riviera Orchard brand.
The professional polo player, who is a close friend of Prince Harry, shared images of jam and dog biscuits, believed to be from the duchess’ company, via his Instagram Stories.
He is among around 50 people believed to have received a PR package from the fledgling lifestyle brand launched by the duchess, 42, earlier this year.
A previous batch of jam, packed in lemon baskets, is believed to have been sent to around 50 recipients.
This is because the hand-written labels on the jars suggested that the batch contained 50 jars, and each was assigned a number, for example, number 11 out of 50.
The previous jam sent was strawberry, however, this latest batch is raspberry, and Nacho was lucky enough to receive the very exclusive new flavor, with its jar bearing a label that read: “2 of 2.”
Meanwhile, the dog biscuits were packaged in a large glass jar, which also featured a handwritten label believed to be in Meghan’s cursive handwriting.
The treats, which were photographed alongside Nacho’s dog, Nina Iggy, are a new addition to American Riviera Orchard’s product line.
Nacho’s post coincided with today’s Trooping the Color event in London.
This year marks the second year that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not invited to the annual celebration, which marks the reigning monarch’s birthday.
