The bond between Serena Williams and Meghan Markle was publicly acknowledged at the 2024 ESPY Awards. However, rumors swirl about the friendship status between Markle and Venus Williams. While there were indications of a cordial relationship between Markle and Venus, it was never as prominent as with Serena. A notable moment was when they attended Wimbledon together in 2019, sitting close to support Serena. Despite a photo showing Venus embracing Markle, the depth of their relationship possibly didn’t match that of Markle’s bond with Serena.
In 2020, comments made by Serena in an interview raised eyebrows, suggesting a possible strain between Markle and Venus. Despite subsequent joint appearances and collaborations, the dynamic between them fueled speculation among fans eager to stir controversy.
Recent attention has shifted to the alleged rift between Markle and Venus.
Fans speculate on Venus’ actions
During the 2024 ESPY Awards, some viewers interpreted Venus Williams’ actions as a subtle slight towards Meghan Markle, with speculation arising from her response to Prince Harry receiving an award. Despite the misinterpretation, subsequent footage showed a different perspective.
Social media comments insinuated ulterior motives behind Venus’ behavior, attributing it to a negative stance towards Markle. However, a closer look at the events revealed a different narrative from what was initially construed.
Misunderstandings can easily distort perceptions.
Fashion choices spark gossip
Speculations emerged suggesting a dispute between Meghan Markle and Venus Williams fueled by a perceived imitation of fashion choices. Social media allegations regarding dress similarities led to assumptions of underlying animosity between the two, despite possible innocent explanations.
Instead of considering coincidences or homage, some fans embraced the idea of a rivalry over clothing. The online narrative painted a picture of jealousy and tension, speculating on unspoken tensions between Markle and Venus.
