It’s good to have a royal in your corner!
Meghan Markle cheered on her friend Serena Williams at the US Open Final in NYC, as Serena faced off against Bianca Andreescu.

The trip to New York was reportedly last-minute, with Meghan hopping on a commercial flight from London, according to People magazine, leaving four-month-old baby Archie in Prince Harry’s care back home. The royal is expected to return home at the end of the weekend.
Meghan previously turned up in July to support Serena with sister-in-law Kate and Pippa Middleton at the Women’s final at the Wimbledon Championships.
Meghan and Serena met in 2010 at the Super Bowl in Miami, Fl., and have remained close since. The tennis star attended Meghan and Harry’s royal wedding last summer with her husband. And Serena even played a role the royal’s baby shower in NYC earlier in 2019.
