Meghan Markle Joins Prince Harry at the 2024 ESPYs as Friend Serena Williams Calls Them ‘Actual Royalty’
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are having a date night at the 2024 ESPY Awards.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped out at ESPN’s 32nd annual ceremony honoring athletic achievement at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on July 11.
The ESPYs were hosted by Serena Williams, a friend of Meghan and Harry’s, and the tennis legend gave the couple a shout-out in her opening monologue.
“It’s well, actually only pretty often that I get to be in a room with actual royalty, and tonight is no exception,” Williams said. “Prince Harry and Meghan are here. Let’s give it up for them.”
“But please, Harry and Meghan, try not to breathe too much tonight,” she continued. “Because this is my night, and I don’t want to be overshadowed by the accusations that you guys are taking up too much oxygen, okay?”
The footage cut to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex laughing at the joke from the front row.
