Serena Williams Shares Message of Support for Friend Meghan Markle Following Oprah Interview

Serena Williams is sticking up for her friend Meghan Markle.

Shortly after the 39-year-old Duchess’ tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey aired on Sunday night (March 7), the 39-year-old tennis pro took to Instagram to share a message of support for her friend.

“I am so proud of you for being so brave,” Serena captioned her post. “I know it is never easy. You are strong- both you and Harry. I love you. I adore you. Your friend S.”

“Meghan Markle, my selfless friend, lives her life – and leads by example – with empathy and compassion,” Serena started. “She teaches me every day what it means to be truly noble. Her words illustrate the pain and cruelty she experienced.”

“I know first hand the sexism and racism institutions and the media use to vilify women and people of color minimize us, to break us down and demonize us,” Serena continued. “We must recognize our obligation and decry malicious, unfounded gossip and tabloid journalism. The mental health consequences of systemic oppression and victimization are devastating, isolating and all too often lethal.”

In her interview, Meghan revealed that the second child she is currently expecting with husband Prince Harry will be a girl.

“I want Meghan’s daughter, my daughter and your daughter to live in a society that is driven by respect,” Serena concluded her message. “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.”

After learning about the bombshell, people took to Twitter to react, sharing their guesses about which Royal Family member could have possibly said this.

Meghan Markle bravely opened up to Oprah Winfrey about the suicidal thoughts she was feeling while facing pressure from the media two years ago and she talked about a specific photo she saw on the day she told Prince Harry about what she was going through.

The Duchess of Sussex said she “didn’t want to be live anymore” amid the constant bullying and you can read more of her comments in our other post.

Meghan then revealed how the day she told Harry about her suicidal thoughts, they had to attend an official event. When she saw a photo from the event, which took place on January 16, 2019, she zoomed in and saw something devastating.

“One of the things that still haunts me is this photograph that someone sent me. We had to go to an official event. We had to go to this event at the Royal Albert Hall and a friend said, ‘I know you don’t look at pictures, but oh my god, you guys look so great,’ and sent it to me. I zoomed in and what I saw was the truth of what that moment was. Right before we had to leave for that, I had just had that conversation with Harry that morning and it was the next day that I talked to the institution [about how I didn't want to be alive anymore],” Meghan said.

Bethenny Frankel is backtracking after her recent comments about Meghan Markle.

On Sunday afternoon (March 7), the 50-year-old former Real Housewives star slammed the 39-year-old Duchess not being able to handle royal fame, saying “cry me a river.”

However, after watching Meghan and Prince Harry‘s tell-all interview with Oprah, Bethenny has decided to issue an apology.

“I watched M & H sit down. Emotional distress & racism must feel suffocating & powerless. I’m a polarizing, unfiltered (often to a fault) flawed person w a voice,” Bethenny tweeted. “When I heard of the interview, during a pandemic, it felt like a surprising choice. I’m sorry if it hurt or offended you.”

After her original criticism of Meghan, this star called out Bethenny, saying she’s a “total bitch.”

Meghan Markle‘s is speaking out about her relationship with Queen Elizabeth in her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The 39-year-old Duchess revealed that Queen Elizabeth was one of the first people she was introduced to from Prince Harry‘s family and that she learned how to curtsy in the car right before meeting her.

Meghan also said that while she’s had challenges with certain members of the royal family, Queen Elizabeth has always been extremely kind to her.

“The Queen, for example, has always been wonderful to me,” Meghan said. “I mean, we had one of our first joint engagements together. She asked me to join her, and I went on the train. And we had breakfast together that morning and she gave me a beautiful gift and I just really loved being in her company, and I know we were in the car—Yeah, she gave me some beautiful pearl earrings and a matching necklace—and we were in the car going between engagements. And she has a blanket that sits across her, her knees, for warmth and it was chilly and she was like, Meghan, come on, and put it over my knees as well.”

Towards the end of the interview, Meghan shared that she had reached out to the Queen after her husband Prince Philip was hospitalized in mid-February.

“I just picked up the phone, and I called The Queen just to check in,” she said. “That’s what we do. It’s like being able to default to not having to every moment go, ‘Is that appropriate?’”

Harry added that his relationship with his grandmother was still strong even after he and his wife announced they would be stepping away from their senior roles as royals.

“My grandmother and I have a really good relationship, and an understanding. And I have a deep respect for her. She’s my colonel in chief, right? She always will be,” Harry said.

Meghan Markle is sharing her one regret about Royal life.

Towards the end of their interview on Sunday night (March 7), Oprah asked the 39-year-old Duchess and Prince Harry if they have any regrets following their fallout with his family.

“No. I’m really proud of us,” the 36-year-old Prince shared. “I’m so proud of my wife. She safely delivered Archie during a period of time which was so cruel and so mean. Every day I was coming back to my life in London and she was crying while breastfeeding Archie. We did what we had to do.”

Meghan, on the other hand, has one big regret.

“I have one. My regret is believing them when they said I would be protected,” Meghan shared. “And I regret believing that because I think had I really seen that that wasn’t happening, I would have been able to do more, but I think I wasn’t supposed to see it.”

She continued, “I wasn’t supposed to know and now because we’re actually on the other side, we’ve actually not just survived but are thriving.”

Earlier in the interview, Meghan talked about being under the false impression that the Royal Family would “protect” her, when in reality, they didn’t. Because of that, Meghan admitted that she struggled with suicidal thoughts.
