Serena Williams, the renowned tennis player, has seemingly ended her friendship with Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, as she snubbed her at an A-Lister’s event in Miami.
Megan recently signed with William Morris Endeavor, a prominent agency that represents famous personalities such as Adele and Serena Williams herself.
However, despite the initial excitement surrounding Megan’s signing, three months have passed without any news of new deals or projects.
This extended period is unusual for a new client, leading to speculation that Megan may be struggling to establish herself in Hollywood.
Kieran Elsby, a PR expert, believes that Megan’s association with William Morris Endeavor should have been a significant achievement for the agency.
However, the lack of progress and absence of updates suggest otherwise.
The director of Media PR Global suggests several reasons for Megan’s stagnant career, including the possibility of rejection from potential partnerships, which could be demoralizing and make her hesitant to share her plans with the public.
Interestingly, Serena Williams, who shares the same agent as Megan, appears to have distanced herself from her best friend.
While Serena attracted praise recently for her pregnancy-related posts on Instagram, Megan remained unresponsive to these gestures.
Serena shared photos of herself in a black dress accentuating her baby bump, accompanied by an oversized red vest.
She captioned the post, “Miami fun, in red always wins.”
In another post, Serena can be seen dancing playfully on the turf, captioning it, “I’m just making up moves at this point.
I need to go somewhere and sit down.”
Despite Serena’s efforts to engage Megan, the Duchess seemed unimpressed by her friend’s social media activity, refraining from acknowledging or reacting to Serena’s posts.
This became evident when Serena attended Lionel Messi’s first game as an Inter-Miami player, and Megan was noticeably absent from the event.
The two initially met at the 2010 Super Bowl, but it was in 2014 that their friendship truly blossomed.
Since then, they have attended various events together, including the Celebrity Beach Bowl and Megan’s royal wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.
However, there have been instances where their friendship seemed strained.
Serena did not invite Megan to her wedding with Alexis, although she was the first guest on Markle’s podcast.
Moreover, according to Vanity Fair writer Sam Kashner, Serena denied being close friends with Megan, referring to her as merely an acquaintance.
This revelation came after Megan had listed Serena as one of her friends in a previous interview.
Serena’s response during the call was, “You’ve got to be who you are, Megan.
You can’t hide.”
Royal commentator Daniela Elser commented on the notable outing where Serena and Megan were seen dining with other A-list couples, including Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Fulchuk, and Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Hurd and her partner.
However, this gathering seemed to be an isolated incident, as there is no evidence of a deeper connection or subsequent joint appearances between Serena and Megan.
In conclusion, the once-close friendship between Serena Williams and Megan Markle appears to have soured.
While Serena continues to make headlines with her achievements and social media presence, Megan seems to be struggling to find her footing in Hollywood.
The reasons behind their apparent rift remain unclear, but it is evident that their relationship has changed significantly.
