Meghan watched from the official team box, which is designated for coaches, friends, and family .
However, Meghan did find herself surrounded by some familiar faces. The Duchess was seated in front of Anna Wintour whom she shared friendly-chatter with, possibly over co-authoring the next Vogue issue? Who’s to say otherwise.
She was also seated behind Williams’ husband, Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian, whom she shared a tender moment with at the match.
Meghan was captured happily greeting Oracene Price, Serena’s mother during the championships and sitting just in front of the former tennis star, Venus Williams.
Things took an unexpected turn when Williams lost the match to Andreescu. But, at least Meghan was there to cheer her pal up.
