The Duchess was seemingly participating in a photoshoot, where she was attended to by a stylist near Alfred's, a popular celebrity coffee spot in Beverly Hills.

If speculations about the collaboration are true, it wouldn't be Meghan's first interaction with Beyoncé.

In an accompanying post, the power couple expressed their admiration during Black History Month, writing: "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."

Additionally, in an episode of their Netflix documentary series, "Harry & Meghan," the Duchess shared that she had received a supportive text from Beyoncé.
Speaking to the camera crew, Meghan expressed her surprise and gratitude, saying, "Beyoncé just texted, just checking in... I still can't believe she knows who I am… She wants me to feel safe and protected."

Meghan Markle's Brand American Riviera Orchard Sends Out PR Gifts
Meghan's recent sighting comes after Nacho Figueras showcased PR gifts from her brand, American Riviera Orchard.
Taking to his Instagram stories, the professional polo player and close friend of Prince Harry posted images of the gifts, including raspberry jam and dog biscuits, which were believed to be from the Duchess' lifestyle brand.
Figueras was among approximately 50 recipients who received these PR packages from American Riviera Orchard, which soft-launched earlier this year. The jam sent out was raspberry, a new flavor following a previous batch of strawberry jam jars.
Each jar in the latest shipment was labeled by hand, with Figueras receiving a particularly exclusive jar labeled '2 of 2'.
Accompanying the jam, Figueras also received dog biscuits packaged in a large glass jar, adorned with a handwritten label presumably in Meghan's cursive script. These treats were pictured alongside Figueras's dog Nina, Iggy, marking their debut in American Riviera Orchard's product lineup.
The Sussexes Are Reportedly Trying To Make Amends With The Royal Family
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to move towards mending their broken relationship with the Waleses. They reportedly reached out to Kate before her return to the public eye at the recently held Trooping the Colour event.
A source close to the pair told Closer magazine they "have been following Kate's recovery with huge interest, but sadly, it's had to be more from afar because their lines of communication with the palace and the Waleses, in particular, are very limited, to say the least."
The insider continued, "They have had enough information to know that people are excited about the idea of a comeback for Kate and they're both relieved and happy to hear that she's on the mend and may soon be well enough to return to her duties."
According to the source, the couple "jointly reached out to send well wishes, but they're still not really in a place with Kate to warrant much of a response."
"When Kate gets back into action, their hope is that it might take some of the heat off them and possibly trigger a truce with her and William and with the King, too," they added.
