The final stop of Beyoncé‘s Cowboy Carter Tour was a star-studded event in Las Vegas on Saturday, July 26.
The VIP area was jam packed with celebrities, including Oprah, Gayle King, Kerry Washington, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and even Tyler Perry.
But notably missing was A-lister Meghan Markle.
Gayle King took to Instagram to share a celebrity selfie. She captioned the photo: “Grand opening, grand closing! Here in Las Vegas with the cowboy crew to see @beyonce close out her historic Cowboy Carter tour!!”

Gayle’s followers wondered why Meghan wasn’t in attendance.
One person wrote on X: “Oprah, Gayle, Kerry Washington, Kris Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, even Tyler Perry! But NO MEGHAN!! Oh oh, is there trouble in Montecito Paradise??”
Meghan and her husband Prince Harry had previously attended Beyoncé’s Los Angeles concert.
One royal watcher speculated that Meghan didn’t show up because Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles dissed Meghan on her podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder.”
Tina offered Meghan advice about family matters. Meghan is estranged from her father and Prince Harry is estranged from his father and brother.
Tina said, “We have disagreements about things, but it’s her business,” referring to Beyoncé.
Tina said she helps out with Beyoncé’s tour because she cares about her daughter’s well-being.
“I’m helping with the business because I just want to leave this earth knowing that she, other than entertainment, is going to be okay,” Tina said. She emphasized the importance of communication by saying, “It’s her business, so she gets to win.”
Royal Correspondent Sarah Hewson said there was one line where Tina said “that she [picks up the phone because she doesn’t want to miss time with her daughter].”
Sarah suggested that line from Tina may have hurt Meghan’s feelings. Sarah said, “Oh, wow, okay, because you’re talking to someone who is no longer speaking to her father and whose husband is no longer speaking to his father.”
Insiders say Tina tried to call Meghan to apologize, but she’s not answering her calls.
