Meghan Markle and Prince Harry paid James Taylor a visit backstage on Tuesday, May 13.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, shared a series of photos taken backstage on Instagram on Wednesday, May 14, writing, “In my concert era ❤️🎶 Thanks James!” In the first photo, Taylor, 77, is seen signing copies of his pop-up lullaby children’s book Sweet Baby James, which was published in 2018. The book takes its name from Taylor’s 1970 breakthrough album of the same name.
The six-time Grammy winner previously revealed that the book and accompanying song, which he referred to as a “cowboy lullaby,” were inspired by his young nephew James, who was named after him. The sweet gesture may have been a surprise for some little readers, as Meghan and Harry, 40, are parents to Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
Meghan wore a classic navy sweater and black skirt to the concert, while Harry wore a gray t-shirt paired with a herringbone gray peacoat, black jeans, a black belt and a gray beanie to match.
Taylor is regarded as one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the 1970s, having performed hit songs “Fire and Rain,” “You’ve Got a Friend,” “Carolina In My Mind” and more.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently shared that they attended Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on May 9. In an Instagram post shared the next day, Meghan wrote, “About last night…. Thank you @beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love.”
The Instagram post included sweet photos of the couple enjoying the show, and a video where Harry is seen kissing Meghan on the cheek. Meghan later shared an image of a cowboy-inspired hat that Prince Harry wore to the show, which included a personal touch.

The hat’s inside brim was monogrammed with the names of the couples’ two children, Archie and Lili (short for Lilibet), along with “My Love” — Harry’s nickname for Meghan.
The couple tied the knot in 2018. After stepping back from their royal duties, they relocated to Meghan’s home state of California in 2020.
The Duchess of Sussex recently embarked on a new era – the launch of her lifestyle brand As Ever, which includes products that sold out the day the brand launched.
