A resurfaced video of Meghan Markle seemingly being ignored by Serena Williams‘ mom while watching the 2019 U.S. Open women’s singles final is going viral again. Check out the video here.
The former Suits actress, 44, can be seen sitting with the tennis star’s mom, Oracene Price, as they watch Serena take on Bianca Andreescu at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York. In the video, Meghan appears to be ignored by Price while attempting to speak with her during the match, and then appears to glance around, seemingly checking whether any cameras caught the awkward interaction.

Meghan Markle Is 'Ignored' By Serena Williams' Mom In Resurfaced Video From US Open
In the video, the With Love, Meghan star can be seen leaning toward Price and saying something, presumably about the match, but Price doesn't appear to acknowledge or respond to her. Afterward, Meghan looks around somewhat awkwardly before clasping her hands together. It seems to be a tense moment on the court, but viewers also interpreted the interaction between the two women as awkward. Andreescu ultimately won the match in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5, for what it’s worth.
The video was uploaded by @MeghansMole and was captioned: "Meghan Markle getting ignored by Oracene Price, Serena Williams mother, will always be funny."
The comments didn't disappoint, with several users pointing out how awkward Meghan looked, while others claimed she was only there to be seen and was attention-seeking. Others applauded Serena's mom for staying focused on watching her daughter play without distractions.
Is Meghan Markle Still Friends With Serena Williams?
The resurfaced clip has also reignited speculation about Meghan's friendship with Serena. The As Ever founder's friendship with the 23-time Grand Slam winner has been questioned lately, especially after fans noted that Serena posed with fellow lifestyle brand owner Emma Thynn and former British Vogue editor Edward Enninful – both of whom Meghan has reportedly had falling-outs with – at the Met Gala last month.
Additionally, a few days earlier, fans thought Serena posted a "shady" video promoting Meghan's As Ever chocolate, showing the chocolate broken and scattered throughout its packaging as she recorded herself putting it back together while saying she doesn't eat chocolate. And this resurfaced video is only adding fuel to the fire!
Social Media Reactions
"Anna Wintour in yellow behind her witnessing the whole embarrassing spectacle. No wonder she never got an invite to the Met Gala," quipped one X user in the comments. "Anna got front row seat to Meghan's attention seeking ways and constantly checking herself out on the screens," echoed a second.
"Classic Meghan – talking to herself while getting iced by Serena's mom. Attention craving level: expert," slammed a third. "Super cringe… Even that made ME uncomfortable," declared a fourth, while a fifth said: "She's talking to herself. What a dumb narcissist entity."
"She looked right in the camera too after she was ignored. She knew how bad it'd look," observed a sixth, as a seventh agreed: "It's eating her alive! She can't stand being ignored." "The anxiety and she knew the camera was on her," thought an eighth, while a ninth added: "You can really see her hyper anxiety here."
"It's hilarious that she's pretending to have a conversation. More so when she glitches after Oracene ignores her!" exclaimed a tenth. "The strangest thing is the way Madam M talks to herself while pretending someone else is listening to her. It's all for the cameras," wrote an eleventh.
"She's constantly performing for the cameras. Just put your hands down and relax for 5 minutes," thought a twelfth, as a thirteenth added: "Megain is SO uncomfortable on her own. She could care less about tennis – only cares about being seen. Trying to pretend she has a relationship with Serena's mom, just like she used to do when on camera with the Queen."
"Priceless. She always looks so awkward around others," chimed in a fourteenth. "Think of all the awkward moments there have been in Meghan's life since Harry and vice versa," wrote a fifteenth.
"Serena's mom just wanted to watch her daughter's match without being disturbed. That is an unspoken rule in tennis! Don't speak when watching a tennis match!" exclaimed a sixteenth. "Meghan the idiot trying to distract Serena's mom from the game. Wasn't happening, and it's awesome to see," echoed a seventeenth. An eighteenth commenter concluded: "She isn't watching the game. She's only there to 'be seen'."
