Celebrities Gather to Bid Farewell to Serena Williams at US Open

Serena Williams' final match at the US Open attracted a star-studded crowd, with notable figures such as Mike Tyson, Vera Wang, Spike Lee, and Anna Wintour in attendance.

However, one familiar face was notably absent – Meghan Markle.

Despite their close friendship, Meghan did not make an appearance.

The Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York was abuzz with excitement as fans eagerly awaited Serena's performance.

Alongside the legendary tennis player, the likes of Vera Wang, Mike Tyson, Hugh Jackman, Anna Wintour, and even former President Bill Clinton were present to witness her opening victory against Danka Kovinic.

The list of attendees also included Anthony Anderson, Huma Abedin, Spike Lee, Rebel Wilson, Lindsey Vonn, New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor, and Mayor Eric Adams.

Rumors had circulated that Meghan Markle would join Serena at the US Open, especially after she referred to Williams as “my girl” and wished her well during a podcast.

Prior to the match, it was revealed that Serena had invited around 100 guests, consisting of family and friends, to support her.

Interestingly, Meghan Markle was not among the lucky ticket holders.

In a surprising turn of events, Mike Tyson and Dr.

Roof secured seats over the Duchess of Sussex.

One royal enthusiast sarcastically remarked that Meghan's beauty and philanthropic efforts might have overwhelmed the atmosphere, prompting her to sacrifice attending the event to ensure everyone's safety, much like Nelson Mandela.

Curiously, it seemed that Serena believed Meghan Markle brought her bad luck and attributed a few of her past losses to her presence.

In a rather untimely move, Meghan Markle chose the same day as Serena Williams' guaranteed tennis match to release a headline-generating interview.

Considering their close friendship, some may find it impolite that Meghan didn't wait for another day, allowing Serena to bask in the spotlight.

Sunrise host Natalie Barr expressed her discontent with Meghan's actions, labeling her as a “tosser” during an on-air rant.

Barr, known for her conservative broadcasting style, couldn't even bring herself to read the entire article, stating, “She's just full of it.”

While some newsreaders offered more diplomatic responses to Meghan's claims, Barr's candid remarks struck a chord.

The discussion revolved around Meghan's different narrative in the US compared to the UK and the world at large.

Angela Levin, author of “Harry, Conversations with the Prince,” appeared on GB News and criticized Meghan's arrogance and lack of gratitude towards the royal family.

She particularly highlighted Meghan's failure to visit Queen Elizabeth amidst the ongoing security detail controversy.

Levin described Meghan's behavior as “breathtaking” and accused her of convincing Harry that his own family is awful.

She found it spiteful that Meghan refused to visit the Queen, despite there being no danger or need for constant protection.

Levin emphasized that the Queen, at 96 years old, may not have much time left and that Harry should make the effort to see her, even if it's just for a brief visit.

As Serena Williams bids farewell to the US Open, the absence of Meghan Markle from the star-studded event raises questions about their friendship and the timing of Meghan's recent interview.

While the tennis legend shines on the court, her bestie's actions continue to generate headlines and spark discussions about her relationship with the royal family.
