In what can only be described as a testament to enduring friendship, renowned tennis legend, Serena Williams, and her close ally, Meghan Markle, have once again proven that their bond is strong and unwavering. This time, the duo shared heartwarming moments commemorating Meghan’s latest achievement – the impending premiere of her reality show, ‘With Love, Meghan’ on Netflix.
The friendship between Serena and Meghan dates back to 2010 when their paths crossed at the Super Bowl. Since then, the two have consistently demonstrated mutual support, with Meghan being a regular fixture at Serena’s tennis matches and Serena gracing Meghan’s royal wedding to Prince Harry.
As anticipation builds for Meghan’s Netflix debut slated for 4th March, the Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to share snippets from the reality show, capturing intimate moments with Serena. A particular Instagram story saw Serena playing with Meghan’s daughter, Princess Lilibet, accompanied by the caption, “When the aunties come to celebrate…and to play! Love you @serenawilliams.” This was later re-shared by Serena, a gesture that further encapsulated their strong bond.
Notably, Serena, now retired, reciprocated by posting an endearing photograph of herself and Meghan in an embrace, tagging Meghan, and celebrating the upcoming Netflix premiere. This was mirrored by Meghan, who shared the same photograph in her Instagram story, revealing the official schedule for her show’s debut. The charming exchange between the two women underscores their enduring friendship and mutual support.
Meghan’s admiration for Serena is far from a recent development. Fans may remember the Duchess of Sussex’s fond reflections on Serena in her now-defunct lifestyle blog, ‘The TIG.’ In one of the posts, Meghan recounted her surprise and delight when Serena approached her at the 2014 Super Bowl, four years after their initial encounter at the same event.
Following Meghan’s heartwarming posts, Serena reciprocated with her own touching remarks about their special bond. After her 2019 Wimbledon final loss to Simona Halep, Serena commended Meghan’s uplifting spirit and unwavering support during the post-match press conference. She praised Meghan as a great friend and an ardent fan of the sport.
Further cementing their bond, Serena appeared on Markle’s podcast, ‘Archetypes with Meghan’ in August 2022. They engaged in a conversation about Serena’s tennis journey while reminiscing about their initial meeting at the 2010 Super Bowl. Meghan revealed how they instantly formed a close bond that has only grown over the years.
As Meghan steps into a new chapter with ‘With Love, Meghan,’ fans are thrilled to see her cheerleader Serena by her side. The two women, both formidable personalities in their respective fields, continue to inspire and support each other, embodying the true essence of friendship.
