7 Of Meghan Markle’s Most Supportive Celebrity Friends (3 of 4)

Serena Williams

Serena Williams and Meghan go way back, and there are no signs of their friendship ending anytime soon. They first linked up through the 2014 DirecTV Celebrity Beach Bowl event, and Meghan later supported Serena at major tennis matches. Serena also attended the royal wedding in 2018. Their bond got even stronger after Meghan and Harry’s 2021 Oprah interview, when Serena defended Meghan, calling her a “selfless friend.” Serena also helped host Meghan’s New York baby shower before Archie’s birth, which was one of the most tightly packed pre-baby events imaginable, with almost too many celebs attending.

Abigail Spencer

Many of you probably don’t even know who Abigail Spencer is, but she has been one of Meghan’s most consistent public supporters for a while. Their friendship goes back years, ever since they both starred in Suits, and Spencer has continued to show up for Meghan long after the legal drama days ended. In 2024, Spencer was one of the first people to receive Meghan’s American Riviera Orchard jam. She posted about it on Instagram, calling it “delicious” and making the whole thing look like a very glossy lifestyle ad, which probably helped the brand a lot. That brand was later reworked into Meghan’s lifestyle label, As Ever, so Abigail basically got in during the jam beta-testing era and continues to support her bestie till this day.
