Ms Williams has revealed that Meghan Markle secretly brought baby Archie with her to New York in an interview where the 23-time major tennis champion also declared the Duchess of Sussex is ”the strongest person I know." Ms Williams also said that the Duchess of Sussex is always free for a chat. The Duchess of Sussex flew across the Atlantic for the final of the tournament in September, when Archie was four-months-old.
It was widely assumed that Meghan left Archie with Prince Harry when she flew out to the US Open.
Mrs Williams said Meghan flew back to the UK straight after watching Ms Williams lose to Bianca Andreescu in the final.
She told Access Hollywood: "She flew all the way with a newborn to see me play in New York and flew all the way back that night, and I probably couldn't have done that.
"I think it's really cool to have a group of friends who are doing amazing things and face the same pressures you face with being in the public eye."
Mrs Williams praised Meghan over how she has dealt with the intense scrutiny that comes with being a member of the royal family.
Meghan hugged the player's husband, Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, as they arrived to watch Mrs Williams take on 19-year-old Canadian Bianca Andreescu in the women's singles at Flushing Meadows.
The victory for Serena would have been her first Grand Slam since giving birth to daughter Alexis in September 2017.
The Duchess looked relaxed in a denim dress with a grey jacket over her shoulders and sunglasses hooked into her neckline when she attended the event, but Archie was not present at the courts.

The Duchess, who reportedly flew by commercial plane for her latest trip to New York, also watched on from the royal box at Wimbledon when Serena played in the final there this year.
Serena lost in straight sets at Wimbledon.
The pair became friends after meeting at an American football Super Bowl party in 2010.
Meghan was also seen greeting Serena’s mother Oracene Price during the match.
Serena’s sister, the former tennis star Venus Williams, was also spotted one row behind Meghan chatting to Ms Wintour.
Other celebrities at the event included legendary director Spike Lee, model Gigi Hadid and model-turned-actress Cara Delevingne.
However, not everyone was happy to see the Duchess at the US open final.
While Ms Williams was thrilled to have her best friend at the match, her coach was reportedly “worried” at the royal’s presence.
Mr Mouratoglou feared that the Duchess’s presence could be unlucky for Ms Williams’ performance.
