The singer-songwriter was overheard telling the duchess, "The baby, so beautiful," speaking of Meghan and Harry's 2-month-old son, Archie, reports Entertainment Tonight.
Beyoncé stars as the lioness Nala in the upcoming film, which has a July 18 release date in the U.S. The premiere also comes less than a week after the superstar released a single called "Spirit" for the movie.
Recently, Meghan has begun to ease back into the public eye after Archie's birth in May.
She was spotted at Wimbledon cheering on friend Serena Williams, and on July 10, she brought baby Archie to the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day at Billingbear Polo Club in Berkshire.
