#BRITs 2019: Beyonce and Jay-Z ‘bow’ to Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle’s potrait (Video)

Power couple, Beyonce and Jay-Z were honored at the 2019 Brit Awards with the prize for Best International Group on Wednesday.

The pair didn’t attend the ceremony at the O2 in London, but accepted their trophy via video message.

In their acceptance speech, Beyoncé and JAY-Z recreate their music
video for “APES—,” in which they pose in front of Leonardo da Vinci’s
“Mona Lisa,” by replacing the world-famous painting with a portrait of
Meghan to pay tribute to her.

Taking to Instagram to explain their reason for including the Meghan
photo, Beyonce wrote: ‘Thank you to the Brits for the award for Best
International Group. I won this award back in 2002 with my besties,
Kelly and Michelle. How lucky am I to have been in a group with my other
best friend, the GOAT Hova. ?? 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.’
