Meghan Markle has been spotted in a Los Angeles park taking part in a photoshoot, spurring rumours of a new collaboration. The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was caught on TikTok in what fans have speculated is an advert. The royal has invested and worked with various brands, with the clip appearing to show a stylist adjusting the former actresses’ sleeves in Beverley Hills near a famous coffee spot, Alfred’s cafe. Fans have said it could be a tracksuit from the German sportswear brand Adidas and Beyoncé’s Ivy Park. The clip may be hinting at a return of Beyoncé’s partnership with Adidas – Ivy Park – after the 41-year-old superstar and the sportswear corporation made the mutual decision to end the partnership last year.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was spotted in a park in Beverley Hills and appeared to be taking part in a photoshoot Meghan could make the ideal partner for the brand, given her longstanding friendship with the Single Ladies singer, with her even enjoying a night out at Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour in California in 2023, despite Prince Harry appearing glum and disinterested. Femail has contacted Meghan, Ivy Park, Adidas for comment.
In the TikTok video, Meghan appeared in high spirits as she chatted and laughed with the stylist and crew preparing her for the shoot. The Duchess styled her glossy brunette tresses in her trademark waves as she prepared for the photoshoot. She matched the tracksuit with a pair of casual trainers.
Beyoncé and Adidas began their collaboration in 2018, at which point Adidas took over producing Ivy Park clothing, while Beyoncé also worked on footwear and clothing for the iconic brand. The news of the business divorce came after the Wall Street Journal reported in February that Ivy Park only did about $40 million worth of business, compared to original expectations of $250 million in sales. According to THR’s source, Beyoncé and Adidas had battled over creative differences, leading to the expiration of the deal. However, Meghan, who is also working on the launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, could be the face of Ivy Park’s return. Given her platform and friendship with the wife of Jay Z, she would likely be a good fit for the clothing brand.
It’s would not be the first time that the royal has crossed paths with Beyoncé, with Queen Bey accepting a Brit Award in 2019 in front of a portrait showing Meghan as a royal version of the Mona Lisa. In a post explaining why they had decided to put Meghan in the frame, the power couple wrote: ‘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.’

Beyoncé posted on her website: ‘Thank you Meghan for your courage and leadership. We are all strengthened and inspired by you.’
In one episode of their Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex claimed to have received a supportive text from Queen Bey. She told the camera crew: ‘Beyoncé just texted, just checking in… I still can’t believe she knows who I am…’ She said she wants me to feel safe and protected. ‘She admires and respects my bravery and vulnerability and thinks I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed.’ The couples previously had a cringe-inducing meeting with the pop megastar and her husband Jay-Z during The Lion King premiere in 2019.
