“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.

“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.”

She added that she has “spent a lot of time focusing on building my legacy and representing my culture the best way I know how”.

“Now, I’ve decided to give myself permission to focus on my joy,” she said.

She said she was “deeply inspired” by a trip to South Africa, adding: “And, after having my son, Sir Carter, I felt it was important to uplift and praise our boys and to assure that they grow up with enough films, children’s books and music that promote emotional intelligence, self-value and our rich history.”

Beyonce added that “motherhood has been my biggest inspiration”.
