Serena Williams was one
proud and supportive friend on Tuesday as she promoted Meghan Markle’s
podcast launch – which featured the tennis star in the inaugural episode.
Soon after the release of the
nearly hour-long episode, Serena shared a link to it on her Stories, and later
in the day, she posted a never-before-seen photo of her and her daughter Alexis
Olympia next to the Duchess.
“I loved talking about so
many important topics with my dear friend Meghan as her first guest on
#archetypes for @spotify! It’s out now and worth the listen, especially if
you’re ambitious,” she captioned the black and white photo.
Fans might recognize the day
the special photo was taken – the 2019 women’s singles final of the US Open
Tennis Championships. Back then, Meghan and Harry were still living in London
and the 41-year-old had flown out to New York especially to support her good
friend as played against Canada’s Bianca Andreescu.

The post was quickly praised
by Serena’s millions of followers, with one writing: “What a great friend
you are.” A second wrote: “This is great news!!! I love and admire
you both.” A third praised the episode, writing: “It was a good
conversation with two beautiful women. #ambitionisagoodthing.” Another
agreed: “I just finished listening to the podcast. It was fabulous! I
loved the questions and your responses.”
Meghan’s chat with Serena was
titled The Misconception of Ambition with Serena Williams, and the description
read: “Meghan talks to the one and only Serena Williams about the double
standard women face when they are labeled “ambitious” and the ripple
effects this has on other aspects of their lives. This groundbreaking premiere
episode also features Dr. Laura Kray, a leading expert on gender in the
workplace.”
