The alliterate one reached out to this former A+ list athlete to see if she wanted to join them up north this week.

Not a chance.

Totally rebuffed.

I think they also wanted to use the family jet too, which was the main reason.

It is tough to go raise money and have people give when you are spending a bunch of money you could be donating, on a private jet.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle skipped Super Bowl ahead of Canada trip

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has recently unveiled her comeback to the world of podcasting, marking a new chapter in her media ventures. Partnering with Lemonada, Meghan expressed her enthusiasm for continuing her exploration of podcasting following her departure from Spotify alongside Prince Harry last year. Their decision to part ways with Spotify came after hosting just 12 episodes of their Archetypes podcast on the platform.

In Meghan’s announcement of her latest project, she took the opportunity to extend her gratitude to various celebrities who had contributed to Archetypes, including Mariah Carey, Mindy Kaling, Pamela Adlon, Issa Rae, Ziwe Fumudoh, Jameela Jamil, and Shohreh Agdashloo. These notable figures had engaged in discussions ranging from the definition of “diva” to the challenges faced by women of color, contributing to a vibrant cultural dialogue about the empowerment and redefinition of female archetypes.

However, what caught the attention of many was Meghan’s omission of any acknowledgment towards her longtime friend, tennis superstar Serena Williams. Serena had been featured on Archetypes, lending her voice to a conversation about the societal double standards imposed on ambitious women and the repercussions thereof. The absence of any mention of Serena in Meghan’s announcement was notable, especially considering their close friendship dating back to 2014.

This apparent snub has left many speculating about the state of Meghan and Serena’s relationship, as well as the reasons behind Meghan’s decision not to include her friend in her acknowledgment of Archetypes contributors. Some have suggested potential rifts or misunderstandings, while others speculate that it may simply be an oversight on Meghan’s part.

Regardless of the motivations behind the omission, it serves as a reminder of the complexities of maintaining personal and professional relationships in the public eye. Meghan’s return to podcasting is undoubtedly a significant development in her post-royal life, but it also raises questions about the dynamics of her interpersonal connections and the intricacies of navigating fame and friendship.

Why did Serena Williams deny being friends with Meghan Markle?

Serena Williams expressly forbade Markle from attending her match at the US Open, because Markle proved to be a ‘jinx’ to her game. You see, most of us tennis players are rather superstitious. Markle went to the match anyway, Serena lost. Aug 6, 2023
