Seated in a lowrider Cadillac outfitted with a giant American flag, Beyoncé sailed over the audience — including Meghan Markle and Prince Harry — at her Cowboy Carter tour stop in L.A. on May 9.

“A very fun date night,” Meghan wrote on Instagram the next day with a carousel of photos of the concert, which definitely got the attention of the British press.

The whole scene, noted the Daily Mail, seemed “to reinforce they are Team USA now!” The Sussexes have definitely made it clear they won’t be going back to England soon.

“I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point,” Harry told the BBC after losing a court battle to reinstate their security protection in May.

There have been multiple other setbacks — the royal family’s snubs, his visa issues, bad reviews of her Netflix show, former staffers blasting her as a “dictator in high heels” — yet the Sussexes “seem to be living their best life,” an insider exclusively tells In Touch. “It’s taken them a while, but Harry and Meghan have finally mastered the art of turning the other cheek and ignoring the haters.”

Meghan, a former self-described “people pleaser,” recently explained how she stopped worrying so much about being liked.

“We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. That you’re pretty enough, that you’re smart enough. That you’re a good wife or a good friend … I am just so done with the ‘prove it’ game. It can be really freeing,” the duchess, 43, said on her pal Jamie Kerm Lima’s podcast on April 28. “I don’t have to prove to you that I’m a good person. If you can’t see it, that’s your loss.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s American Dream

She also admitted she pays attention to “maybe 1 percent” of the chatter about her.

“I’ve created boundaries for my mental health,” Meghan, who’s actually gotten praise for her new “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast, said at the TIME100 Summit in NYC on April 23. “I tune out noise and focus on the intention of my work.”

Harry has learned to do the same.

“The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls,” he told the New York Times in December, adding that California suits him quite well. “I very much enjoy living here and bringing my kids up here,” the prince, 40, said of Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, both of whom speak with American accents.

(Harry, who wore a custom cowboy hat to the concert, has even taken up surfing!)

“I feel as though it’s the life my mum wanted for me,” he added of the late Princess Diana.

And while Harry insisted to the BBC that he still hopes to reconcile with his family, he made it clear that he and Meghan have no regrets about their decision to leave the royal “institution” in 2020.

“I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, with a supportive partner and joyful kids,” Meghan gushed at the TIME100 Summit. “I never imagined feeling so happy and grateful.”
