Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made quite an appearance at The Lion King premiere on Sunday. Not only did they make heads turn, but Meghan and Beyonce's epic meeting created a stir on social media. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also met rest of the cast members of The Lion King with whom they briefly chatted before entering the screening. However, Meghan's one such chat with singer Pharell Williams has been doing the rounds on the Internet.

While meeting Pharrell Williams on Sunday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex received a few words of encouragement from the music producer and singer amid international attention surrounding the British royal family. Reports revealed that Pharrell spoke about how amazing Meghan and Harry's marriage and relationship was.

According to a report in Page Six, Pharrell said, "It’s so beautiful, your union." As per the viral video, he goes on to say, “Love is amazing. It’s beautiful. Don’t ever take that for granted, what it means in today’s climate. I want to tell you, it’s so significant for so many of us. Seriously. It’s significant. We cheer you guys on."

Meghan then replied, "Thank you, they don’t make it easy." The Duchess was referring to the harsh scrutiny she has been subjected to since she married Prince Harry and her role as a royal. Even labelling her as 'Duchess Difficult', Meghan's every move is keenly watched and analysed by scores of royal fans and experts.

The most recent one was for keeping their first child Archie Harrison's birth and baptism a private affair.

As a part of their commitment to this cause, Disney also made a donation to The Duke of Sussex’s upcoming environment & community initiative which will be formally announced this autumn. The Duke and Duchess are committed to advancing conservation efforts across Africa and around the world, and working with communities to ensure a sustainable future for the planet.
