Notably absent from the list of guest appearances is Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, who has always been closely associated with Serena.

This omission has sparked speculation about the state of their friendship.

Rumors of a rift between the two were further fueled when Serena and her daughter, Alexis Olympia O'Hanian Jr., failed to attend Archie's birthday party, citing conflicting schedules.

While Meghan's side claims that she and her family have faced intense scrutiny and criticism, none of her famous friends, including Serena, have come forward to defend her.

In another instance, Serena Williams shut down a question about Meghan Markle.

When asked about her thoughts on Meghan's recent endeavors and whether they had spoken, Serena simply responded, “Yep, I've absolutely no comments on anything about that.”

This iconic response left no room for interpretation.

Through firsthand perspectives from Serena herself and key figures in her life, this multi-part series will offer a compelling narrative that sheds light on the remarkable achievements and challenges faced by this tennis superstar.
