This sounds like a great topic for a podcast given that Meghan has been fighting for more women’s rights since childhood. Sadly I really struggle to focus on podcasts so I think I won’t be able to keep up with this one, but the stories that you highlighted in this post are very interesting and make me keen to hear more. The Duchess will ”sit down with some of the smartest, funniest, strongest, most passionate women and people I know,” and also plans to interview people she’s never met before. “I mean they’re on the West Coast but … I mean, it’s a big deal! Serena then shut down the conversation by responding, “Never seen it, never heard of her, don’t know her.” The tennis player went on to whistle until the supermodel changed the subject.

“Meghan is a great person, and I think the epitome of strength, the epitome of confidence, the epitome of just selflessness, and the epitome of everything is just her and everything she’s gone through. And I know it’s not easy, and you can see from the interview it wasn’t easy. But she had so much poise, and she still had so much class ,” Serena says in the interview. Over the course of the first season, Markle will interview women who “conquered tropes in their lives to inspire a new generation,” per info from the music streaming service.
"I know it's not easy — and you can see from the interview that it wasn't easy — but she had so much poise and she still had so much class," Williams said on the Stuart Weitzman Shine Series at the time. Williams proved to be a good friend once again in January 2020 after Meghan and Harry announced their plans to step back from the royal family. The former Suits star and the tennis champion first hit it off when they were put on the same flag football team at DIRECTV’s Celebrity Beach Bowl in February  2014. In the months following the event, Meghan started showing support for Williams at her tennis matches and more. "We have known each other for a long time, but we really are relying on each other a lot recently," the tennis star explained. "My eyes are closed but my heart is so open! So proud of your new collection @serenawilliams Happy I could be there to support you xx #NYFW," Markle captioned the pic.

The sweater features a mid-length cut and cascading front while being crafted from cozy woven knit fabric that feels like a cross between a cardigan and a jacket. "Never seen her, never heard of her, don't know her," Williams said, before whistling her way out of that conversation. You can watch the moment in the video above starting around the 32-minute mark. When asked how she feels now that Meghan and her family have made the official move to L.A., Williams said, "Don't know her."
Despite all differences, the two are very protective of each other and have defended each other over the years. Though Meghan started spending more time Generational wealth in London after she met Prince Harry, her friendship with Williams didn’t suffer. The athlete even attended the couple’s royal wedding in May 2018.

But unfortunately, Meghan was busy working on her podcast in LA,” sources tell RadarOnline.com. Serena Williams would “definitely agree” that she and close friend Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, are two of the most closely-scrutinized women in the world. This time, the writer Sarah Vine used the solo trip to accuse her of being a bad mother for having had the temerity to leave her four-month-old son Archie at home with Harry. Open to watch her friend, sporting icon Serena Williams, make what turned out to be an unsuccessful tilt at a record-breaking 24th grand slam. Meghan sat in Williams’ players’ box with Serena’s husband Alexis Ohanian, Oracene Price, Williams’ mother, Venus Williams, Serena’s  sister, Patrick Mouratoglou, Williams’ coach, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

The marriage ceremony was held on May 19 at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Markle later revealed that there was a private exchange of vows three days earlier, with the Archbishop of Canterbury in the couple's garden. However, this private exchange of vows was not a legally recognized marriage.
Prince Harry and Meghan said in their engagement interview that they first met on a blind date in early July 2016 after being set up by a mutual friend that they've kept anonymous. However, Meghan later told Vanity Fair that she and Harry were dating quietly for about six months before it became public — which would point to their dating as early as late April or early May 2016, not July. In March 2021, ITV News reported Meghan had complained directly to ITV's CEO about Piers Morgan's comments on mental health following her interview with Oprah Winfrey. Ofcom received over 57,000 complaints about the program including one from the Duchess of Sussex. In the same month, it was reported that an American private investigator unlawfully handed over personal details about Meghan to The Sun, including her Social Security number, cell phone number and address, when she first started dating Prince Harry in 2016. Meghan and her husband condemned the "predatory practices" of the British tabloids, while The Sun stated that the investigator "was instructed clearly in writing to act lawfully", and they did not "use the information he provided for any unlawful practice".

The tennis legend also elaborated about balancing her tennis career with the pressures of being a mother to daughter Olympia, 4. She recalled when Olympia broke her wrist the night before she competed at the French Open. In the interview which aired in the US on Sunday, The Duchess of Sussex said "concerns" were raised about baby Archie's skin colour before he was born by a member of the Royal Family, and also said she was pushed to the brink of suicide after marrying into royalty.
"I never pass on words of wisdom because I feel like everyone, when they have a kid, especially when you just have a baby, it is so difficult to just be," Williams told BBC Breakfast ahead of Wimbledon. "And it's just like, get through the first three months, four months, and then we can talk." "The face you make when you and Duchess of Sussex Meghan have matching @serena blazers 😍" Williams captioned her Instagram post. For her first day in Dubbo during a royal tour of Australia and New Zealand, Markle stepped out in a blazer designed by none other than Williams. "So my friend is getting married today, and I'm up super early," she wrote on her Story.
