Last night Prince William and Kate Middleton met New York royalty - nope not Carrie Bradshaw - but Jay Z and Beyonce. The royal couple sat courtside to watch the Brooklyn Nets play the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Staples Center, where Bey and Jay were sat on the other side of the court.

During a break Beyonce and Jay Z crossed the court as Rule Britannia played (obvs) to meet Kate and Wills, giving us one of the best Vines of all time. Although there's no audio of their chat, People Magazine reports that Beyonce and Jay wished them a "Merry Christmas."
Before heading to the game the royal couple attended a reception at the British Consul General's residence celebrating Prince William's work with the charities United for Wildlife and the Tusk Trust. For both events Kate, who is five months pregnant, wore a grey Boucle 'Bettina' coat by American label Tory Burch which is available for £480. She wore it with a black Mulberry clutch and Stuart Weitzman black pumps.
The Kate effect is still going strong - while we were sleeping many 'Bettinas' have been added to shopping carts. On Farfetch there is currently only one size left, so move quickly copy Kates. The Duchess wore Tory Burch on her last royal tour, wearing a black and white dress for a play date with Prince George.
Kate and Wills also met Cavaliers' LeBron James who gave them a 'Cambridge' jersey and a mini personalised jersey for Prince George. He said of meeting them in a press conference after the game: “I gave them a present and thanked them for coming to America to watch our game.”

LeBron said: “Of course, they’ve done other things. Went to the White House as well, but for them to take time out of their schedule and come here, it’s their first time watching a (NBA) basketball game. It was honor that I would be that guy they decided that they wanted to watch. It’s pretty cool.”
Outside the stadium over 200 people protested over the police force following the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown. They staged a 'die in' on the pavement outside the game. LeBron James showed his support for the cause warming up in a t-shirt which said 'I can't breathe.' This is thought to be Garner's last words after being restrianed by a white police office.
