    ICYMI Meghan Markle met Beyonce yesterday at the UK premiere for The Lion King in London. Despite both having prominent careers in America, they hadn't met before, and quickly bonded over their children, with the singer apparently saying Archie was 'so beautiful'.

    But it turns out Beyonce wasn't the only celeb dishing out compliments to the Duchess, who was accompanied by Prince Harry on the red carpet.

    After chatting to the Carters, the royal couple moved onto Sir Elton John, who couldn't help but compliment Meghan on her outfit, and in particular, her shoes.

    She wore a black satin Jason Wu midi dress which featured a sheer neckline and sleeves, and accessorised with Nikos Koulis stud earrings and a Gucci clutch.

    On her feet were a pair of black satin Aquazurra, adorned with diamante straps at the back.

    Elton was overheard saying, 'I'm admiring your shoes', though to be fair, his jazzy flats were also pretty on point.

    Meanwhile, Prince Harry couldn't get enough of Pharrell (who collaborated on the soundtrack) and shorts and tuxedo jacket combo, saying, 'I love the look'.
