Beyonce, like many, is hopeful that 2021 will be a 'better and brighter' year for humanity. But the megastar, 39, chose to make 2020 'about celebrating joy, chasing happiness, and living in love,' despite social unrest in the United States and the havoc caused by COVID-19.  And Beyonce reflected on her personal highlights of 2020, both charitable and professional, in a four-minute video shared to Instagram on Friday.

The image of Harry and Meghan was perhaps the most telling of the year when it comes to their new relationship with the royals. He was in a sombre suit with a red poppy and military medals, she in a long black dress. They held hands as they walked through Los Angeles National Cemetery on Remembrance Sunday in November to lay a floral tribute to the fallen. In what was seen as a flagrant publicity stunt, the couple had chosen to release the pictures after Harry had been refused permission for a wreath to be laid at the Cenotaph on his behalf that day, alongside those of other members of his family.

It's no secret Beyoncé's 2020 was one for the books. From releasing an incredible visual album on Disney+, Black Is King, to winning a BET Award with her daughter Blue, the singer had a lot to celebrate. For her British Vogue cover in October 2020, the "Black Parade" star opened up about her family life and how she was learning the art of doing nothing. "I have learnt that my voice is clearer when I am still. I truly cherish this time with my family, and my new goal is to slow down and shed stressful things from my life," she expressed. "I came into the music industry at 15 years old and grew up with the world watching, and I have put out projects non-stop. I released Lemonade during the Formation World Tour, gave birth to twins, performed at Coachella, directed Homecoming, went on an...
