She was a guest at her wedding to Britain’s Prince Harry in May 2018.
But on Monday, Serena Williams joked she’s never heard of Meghan Markle in a video chat with Naomi Campbell.

‘I don’t know what you’re talking about, don’t know nothing about that,’ Serena, 38, responded, trying to shut down the direction of the conversation.
When Naomi, laughing, pressed her on it again, she said: ‘Never seen her, never heard of her, don’t know her.’
Serena and her sister Venus Williams joined the model for an episode of her No Filter with Naomi series on YouTube.
Wouldn’t be drawn: ‘Never seen her, never heard of her, don’t know her,’ Serena said as Naomi giggled and sister Venus Williams kept a poker face.

The conversation also centered a lot on fashion with Serena revealing that Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour had insisted on helping her with her wedding dress when she tied the knot with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
‘You know she’s a special person, and I absolutely completely adore her. And I love being around her,’ Serena said of Wintour.
‘First of all, she’s like, ‘you’re not getting this without me’ and I’m like ‘OK’. Every single sketch and design we sent to her and she gave great feedback, and I’m like ‘Oh my god you’re so right, that would be really cool and really good’. It was really, really awesome.’

Serena married Ohanian in November 2017 following the birth of their daughter Olympia.
It’s believed that she first met Meghan back in 2010 at a Super Bowl party in Miami, Florida.
In 2017, the tennis superstar revealed to Vanity Fair that the actress had sought her advice about dealing with the paparazzi after news of her romance with Harry went public.
‘I told her, ‘You’ve got to be who you are, Meghan. You can’t hide’,’ Serena said.
Meghan has also supported Serena at Wimbledon and the US Open, making sure to be in the stands to cheer the champ on.
Following their decision to step down as senior members of the Royal Family on March 31, Meghan and Harry moved from Canada, where they’d been living for six months, to Los Angeles where the former Suits actress was raised.
Serena, too, was raised in LA but now resides in Palm Beach, Florida, with her husband and daughter.
