Serena Williams couldn’t hide her excitement after receiving a special delivery from her longtime friend Meghan Markle. The tennis legend shared a video on Instagram showcasing a sleek box of the Duchess of Sussex’s new 2024 Napa Valley Rosé from her As Ever brand.
The 44-year-old, who has 23 Grand Slam titles to her name, joked that Meghan “knows how to treat a woman” as she carefully opened the package with the help of a mini screwdriver. Inside were four bottles of rosé, which Serena said she “can’t wait” to try, adding playfully, “It’s 12 o’clock somewhere.”
The pair’s friendship dates back to a Super Bowl party in 2010, and over the years, they’ve supported each other through weddings, baby showers, and major life milestones. Serena has often spoken publicly about Meghan’s strength and grace, especially following her high-profile struggles in the public eye.
This isn’t the first time Serena has been spoiled with Meghan’s lifestyle goodies. Earlier this year, she showed off another As Ever package that included the Duchess’s Montecito jam, teas, and baking mixes. Other celebrities like Mindy Kaling, Zoe Saldaña, and Kris Jenner have also been recipients of these carefully curated hampers.
Serena and Meghan’s bond remains strong, with the tennis star once describing her friend as “the strongest person I know.” Their relationship continues to blend genuine affection with shared celebrations of each other’s ventures — whether on the court, in business, or beyond.
