It was a royals gathering at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn when the stars of British royalty met with the pop world star on Monday night.
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Beyoncé and husband, Jay-Z, came face-to-face at a Brooklyn Nets game in New York.
As the crowd cheered and took photos, Prince William and his pregnant wife, Kate – who looked chic in a grey coat skinny jeans and black heels – were seen greeting the singer and rapper during the second half of the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The royal couple sat next to basketball legend, Dikembe Mutombo, where they were handed a box of popcorn and bottles of water. While Beyoncé and Jay-Z, sat directly opposite them.
Duke and Duchess were led backstage to meet the sport’s biggest superstar after the match, down in the Vaults, a basement hospitality suite, they were introduced to James, who had brought them a gift-wrapped box of cup cakes from his hometown, Akron, Ohio.
Today, the royal couple are expected to visit the National September 11 Memorial Museum and the Memorial Reflection Pools, before attending The Door in NYC and the CityKids Foundation, to learn about their work on positive youth development and social learning using art.
