Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have arrived at Wimbledon ahead of Serena Williams showdown against Angelique Kerber.
The Duchesses will be cheering on Serena Williams, who is a close friend of Meghan’s and even attended her wedding in May.
Having nearly died less than a year ago in labour, Serena didn’t expect to make it this far in the competition, and is the first mother to do so in 38 years.
Meghan made sure to arrive in time to support her longtime friend as she made such a massive achievement.
Wearing a striped blue and white shirt, she sat in the stands with Kate Middleton and waited to cheer Williams on.
Wimbledon marks Kate and Meghan’s first official public appearance without their husbands.
