Friendship’s Over: Meghan Left Embarrassed by Serena’s Public Snub

Meghan Markle's friendship with tennis superstar Serena Williams has hit a rocky patch after the Duchess of Sussex was noticeably absent from Williams' recent baby shower.

The pair first crossed paths in 2010 at the Super Bowl and have since been vocal about their close bond.

Williams even attended Meghan's wedding to Prince Harry.

However, it seems that the friendship may not be as strong as it once appeared.

Williams recently shared snapshots on YouTube and Instagram from her extravagant baby shower, which also served as a gender reveal celebration.

Surrounded by loved ones, including her father Richard and sister Venus, Williams seemed to be enjoying the festivities.

However, one person was noticeably missing from the event – Meghan Markle.

Speculation quickly arose as to why Meghan was absent from the baby shower.

The absence was particularly surprising considering that Williams had organized a baby shower for Meghan back in 2019.

In a sweet vlog shared by Williams, her five-year-old daughter Olympia expressed excitement about the joint baby shower, revealing that she was hoping for a baby girl.

Williams herself wore a white tee and pink miniskirt, proudly showing off her growing bump.

Meanwhile, her husband, tech entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian, sported an X-Men graphic tee and black shorts, seemingly hinting at his hopes for a baby boy.

Inside the party, guests were greeted with a vibrant rainbow-colored balloon arch, delicious food, a dance floor, and cozy seating areas for socializing.

It was undoubtedly a lavish affair, reflecting Williams' attention to detail and perfectionist nature.

Back in 2019, Williams had helped organize Meghan's baby shower at the Mark Hotel in New York when Meghan was pregnant with her son Archie.

Williams admitted that planning such an event required a lot of effort, but she wanted it to be perfect for her friend.

This gesture showcased the depth of their friendship at the time.

However, things seem to have changed since Meghan and Harry stepped back from their royal duties and moved to California in 2020.

Williams publicly supported the couple during this transition, praising Meghan for her empathy and compassion.

She even appeared as the first celebrity guest on Meghan's Spotify-exclusive Archewell Audio podcast, where they discussed the misconceptions surrounding ambition.

While it may have seemed like Meghan and Serena were inseparable, recent revelations suggest otherwise.

According to journalist Tom Bauer, they were never truly close friends.

Their interactions at events and occasional collaborations may have given the impression of a strong bond, but it appears that their relationship was more transactional than genuine.

Now that Meghan's star has fallen in the United States, Serena seems to be keeping her distance.

It is speculated that if Meghan had been invited to Serena's baby shower, she would have made it all about herself, overshadowing her friend's special moment.

This behavior may explain why Meghan was not included in the guest list.

Critics argue that Meghan lacks true friendships and instead surrounds herself with people who can further her social standing.

While some may argue that A-listers have also used and discarded people along their journey to success, they do not appreciate being exploited in return.

Perhaps it is a case of Meghan borrowing others' resources without reciprocating, leading to strained relationships.

As the fallout between Meghan and Serena continues, it is clear that their once-close friendship has come to an end.

The absence of Meghan at the baby shower speaks volumes about the current state of their relationship.

Only time will tell if these former friends can mend their broken bond or if they will remain distant acquaintances in the future.
