Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle and husband Prince Harry made an appearance at the European premiere of Disney's "The Lion King" live-action remake on Sunday in central London, two months after the birth of the couple's first child, Archie.

Markle was captured wearing a knee-length black dress with sheer sleeves and sheer paneling across her décolletage. Her hair was pulled back in a tight bun and she complimented the look with a black clutch with gold detailing and black heels.

 The outing marked Markle's first ever movie premiere as a member of the royal family.

While walking the yellow carpet, Markle and Harry met the movie's star, Beyoncé, and husband Jay-Z.

Videos posted on social media captured the moment Markle met Beyoncé, and when the two greeted each other with an embrace.

Other still photos show off Beyoncé's gold gown for the premiere.

Markle, Harry, Beyoncé, Jay-Z could be seen chatting amongst themselves. The Daily Mail reported this is the third appearance Markle has made this week, after being accused of breaking the dress code at the tennis tournament Wimbledon. 

Markle and Harry also held a christening for baby Archie last weekend and chose to withhold the names of Archie's godparents.
