Serena Williams never leaves an opportunity to stand by her friends. From cheering them on during matches to standing by them in their personal endeavors, Williams has always been a steadfast companion. Now, after her recent interaction with Meghan Markle, speculation is already rampant around whether the tennis legend will feature Markle and Prince Harry in the new documentary.

Williams’ attendance at a recent Polo event, similar to Markle and Harry’s, has fueled rumors of her involvement in the documentary. It has left fans curious to see if the two friends would work together again on-screen. Two years ago, when the first documentary was released, the 43-year-old was already part of the series.

The former world number one was recently observed having a relaxed day at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington, Florida, during the Royal Salute Polo Challenge, alongside the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Unbeknownst to bystanders, the former royal couple was filming a scene for their next Netflix series on the golf course.

Serena Williams and Meghan Markle seemed to be having a great time while Prince Harry participated in the polo competition. The two were photographed laughing, spending time around the horses, taking a break on the back of a golf cart, sharing hugs, and conversing with the Duke of Sussex. Looking at the way cameras were rolling all around, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the 23-time Grand Slam champion might also be a part of the documentary, where she talks about the couple’s love for Polo.
