Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, since their 2018 marriage and eventual exit from the royal family, and move to the United States, have made several high-profile friends, including Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, and Beyonc, among others.

But the former Suits star’s fans are also familiar with her more longtime friendships, including with her Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, as well as the one and only Serena Williams.

The Duchess of Sussex and the renowned tennis star have known each other since 2010, when they met at the Super Bowl, and became close friends after reconnecting in 2014, at another Super Bowl.

Meghan, writing for her since-shuttered popular blog The Tig in August of 2014, reflected on the start of her friendship with Serena, and detailed her first impressions of her.

When Serena Williams barrelled in my direction this past February at an event, nails done, hair done, everything did, I’ll be honest and say I looked behind me to see who she was running to,” she recalled.

She continued: “We hit it off immediately, taking pictures, laughing through the flag football game we were both playing in, and chatting not about tennis or acting, but about all the good old fashioned girly stuff.”
