Long-time friend to the Duchess of Sussex, Serena Williams has been by Meghan Markle’s side for years now, so it’s understandable that she keeps getting questions her way about the royal’s pregnancy.
In an interview with E! News, the tennis superstar was asked whether she thinks Meghan would make a good mother. “She’ll be the best mom, for sure,” gushed Serena. The tennis grand slam champion went on to offer advice she would give to new mothers saying, “Accept mistakes and don’t expect to be perfect. We put so much pressure on ourselves.”
But it was when Serena said “My friend is pregnant,” that she seemed to suggest that the Duchess may be having a little girl. She explained “She was like, ‘My kid’s gonna do this,’ [and] I just looked at her like, ‘No she’s not. No you’re not. She was like, ‘I need to talk to you about tips,’ because yes, I had all of those high expectations.” Eeep!
Royal fans (us included) are obviously freaking out now that Serena referenced the baby as “she”. To add a little confusion to the mix, back when the Duchess had her baby shower in NYC, guests appeared to arrive with presents wrapped in blue wrapping and ribbons. Whether or not this was related to the sex of Meghan and Harry’s baby, remains to be seen. It could have been a distraction plot all along!
