“The most amazing human” Serena Williams opens up about Duchess Meghan’s US trip
Serena Williams and Duchess Meghan’s friendship traces back to years ago, and dates back to when the royal first forged her career as an actress.
Now, she is the Duchess of Sussex, and mother to a new royal baby Archie - but the pair still seem to remain solid friends.
This month, Duchess Meghan travelled to New York to support the tennis dynamite at the US Open final.
Williams had a few kind words to say about her 37-year-old pal, describing her as “amazing”.
"She literally flew across the seas just to support for a few hours with a newborn baby," she told E! News while attending New York Fashion Week.
"She is the most positive, amazing human that I know. Everyone needs to know how amazing she is.
"I don't know if I could have done that with my daughter at that age. But she did it. And that shows the kind of person that she is."
At the start of the match, Duchess Meghan could be seen waving and smiling as she took a seat in William’s viewing box.
Ultimately she lost the final to Bianca Andreescu, and with a 6-3, 7-5 victory she became the first Canadian to ever win a Grand Slam.
Despite the sour turn of events for the mother-of-one, her clear gratitude for her friend travelling across the pond to watch her play is evident.
Serena said during her pregnancy to her daughter Alexis Olympia, with internet entrepreneur husband Alexis Ohanion, that Duchess Meghan would constantly check in on her.
"I'm like, 'How are you?' and she's like, 'No, how are you? and I'm like, 'You're so sweet, but I'm really asking, how are YOU?'
"I'm like, 'Meghan, stop being so nice you're the pregnant one, aren't you supposed to have hormones, why are you so sweet?' But that's always been her."
