Meghan Markle and Serena Williams have been “relying on each other a
lot recently.”
The Duchess of Sussex and the tennis star have known each other for a
long time but Williams says they grow closer and closer by the day.
She said: “We were actually just texting each other this morning. We
have known each other for a long time, but we really are relying on
each other a lot recently.”
And Williams felt like she was “watching history” when she saw Markle
tie the knot with Prince Harry in Windsor Castle earlier this year.
She told Australia’s The Project: “I felt like we were literally
watching history. I feel like in a few years when I look back at that
moment, it’s just gonna be so historic. It’s gonna be something people
never forget. The whole service was really wonderful and most of all,
I just wanted to see my friend be happy and I think that’s what
happened.”
Meanwhile, Williams previously revealed she feels “proud” of Markle,
Duchess of Sussex, after she launched a cookbook in support of the
victims of the Grenfell tragedy.
The 37-year-old royal has written the foreword to a recipe book from
cooks at the Hubb Community Kitchen, which is based in London.
Responding to the announcement, Williams tweeted,
“I used to call you Meghan (and I still do) but dear Duchess of Sussex
your first project Together a cookbook bringing women of all
cultures together. I could not be more excited about it and proud of
you. It’s beautiful – diversity, inclusivity, coming together in grief
or joy (sic)”
