Serena Williams celebrates Meghan's new show Netflix

Earlier this year, the Duchess of Sussex returned to Instagram and announced that she would starring in her very own Netflix original series: With Love, Meghan – an unscripted lifestyle series that shares some of Meghan's favourite tips and tricks. In the trailer, we see the duchess offering tips on baking, jam-making, tablescaping and more. Through conversations with her famous house guests, we learn more about Meghan’s personal taste and outlook on life. The show was originally set to premiere in January, but was postponed until 4 March due to the Los Angeles wildfires.

This weekend, Serena Williams paid Meghan and her daughter Princess Lilibet a visit, and the duchess shared three photos to her Instagram stories documenting the heartfelt gathering. On one of the posts, Meghan wrote, “When the aunties come to celebrate... and to play! Love you @serenawilliams.” Another reads, “3 days until the party begins. All are invited ❤️ @netflix.”

The final Instagram Story posted was a sweet black-and-white image of Meghan and Serena sharing an embrace.

The two have been friends and supporters of each other for years. In 2022, the tennis champion was Meghan’s first-ever guest on her Spotify podcast, Archetypes. During the podcast episode, the two bonded over the difficulties that come with being mothers in the spotlight. Williams also showed up for Meghan after she and her husband, Prince Harry, did a two-hour, tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.
