During their chat, Jay-Z offered his congratulations and wished the new parents well while Harry also asked about the pop royalty couple’s two-year-old twins Sir and Rumi Carter.
Beyoncé told the royals: “They are not here. They don’t come on every trip. We left them at home. They would love to have been here.”
Jay-Z even had some advice for the new parents, adding: “The best advice I can give you, always find some time for yourself.”
Beyoncé and Jay-Z had previously shown their admiration for the Duchess of Sussex when they won a BRIT Award in February.
Taking to her Instagram account earlier this year, where she and Jay-Z posed in front of a photo of Duchess Meghan, she captioned it: “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. (sic)”
