Serena Williams and Meghan Markle’s friendship
Serena has been friends with Meghan since around 2014.
The tennis star has been supported by Meghan during her matches at Wimbledon many times.
After Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, Serena came to her close friend’s defence on Twitter after she was berated by the press.
She posted a picture of her notes app which read: “Meghan Markle, my selfless friend, lives her life — and leads by example— with empathy and compassion
“She teaches me every day what it means to be truly noble. Her words illustrate the pain and cruelty she’s experienced.”
Serena continued: “I know first hand the sexism and racism institutions and the media use to vilify women and people of color to minimize us, to break us down and demonize us.

“We must recognize our obligation o decry malicious, unfounded gossip and tabloid journalism.
“The mental health consequenses of systemic opression and victimization are devastating, isolating, and all too often leathal.
“I want Meghan’s daughter, my daughter and your daughter to live in a society that is driven by respect. Keep in your memory the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control.
“Against such things there is no law.”
