Serena Williams Says Talking to Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle Never Felt Like ‘Working at All’

The tennis legend Serena Williams has been close friends with the Duchess of Sussex for almost ten years. However, Williams’ impromptu attendance at Meghan Markle’s first podcast was a surprise. The former world number one recently explained why she decided to appear on the podcast show.

In 2010, at the Super Bowl, the two well-known personalities first crossed paths. They reconnected in 2014, struck it up right away, and have remained close friends ever since.

Serena Williams talks about appearing on Meghan Markle’s podcast

Earlier this year, the duchess of Sussex deconstructed the social stereotypes about women in our weekly podcast show called ‘Archetypes’ on Spotify. Her first guest on the show was her close friend Serena Williams, with whom she discussed the double expectations that women endure when they are hardworking or ambitious.

Recently the 23-time Grand Slam champion was asked about the reason behind appearing on the podcast and her answer came obvious. She said, “It was not working at all. We are really good friends. It was obvious I wanted to do that we always have such great conversations. I feel like everyone was — some of the conversations that we had not all like that particular one.”
