And ex-Suits star Meghan even joked: "That's really why we're here - to pitch".
Eagle-eyed Twitter users have now pointed out Beyonce's reaction as she stood in the background watching the cringe-worthy exchange.
The singer, who attended the premiere in July with husband Jay Z, can be seen covering her face before uncomfortably looking away.
One wrote: "Look at Beyonce! She KNOWS what's happening and she and Mr. Carter have to pretend to be nice until the Harkles get through the line."
Another said: "This is so funny. Beyonce & JayZ not into Meghan!!"
While one wrote: "Beyonce scratched her nose and looked as if she was embarrassed for them and then JayZ laughed at Harry's Scar joke."

He can be heard telling Mr Favreau: "If anyone needs any extra voiceover work, we'll make ourselves available."

Scar is the evil character in the Lion King who plots to kill his own brother to get to the throne.
The footage comes after was seen chatting to Disney boss Bob Iger at the same event - quietly telling him that Meghan was "really interested" in a voiceover job.
