Serena Williams made her feelings clear following Meghan Markle's update.

The Duchess of Sussex shared a short video and two photographs on her Instagram story of the tennis legend interacting with her three-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet.


Meghan, 43, captioned the clip: "When the aunties come to play and celebrate! Love you @serenawilliams."

Williams later made her feelings clear by reposting the clip on her own Instagram story, accompanied by a red heart emoji and a smiley face surrounded by even more hearts.

​In addition, Williams posted the same black and white photograph that Meghan shared of the two embracing in a hug.

Williams, 43, simply tagged the post with the Duchess's Instagram handle - @meghan.

In a follow-up post, Meghan wrote: "3 days until the party begins. All are invited, @netflix."

The Duchess was referring to her upcoming Netflix show - With Love, Meghan - due to drop on the streaming platform on March 4.

In the sweet video, Meghan wore a 'Lee' shirt and coordinating trousers from La Ligne in navy and ivory pinstripe.

Meanwhile, Lilibet wore leggings in a 'Rose Mist' pattern from The Children's Place.

Princess Lilibet was playing a game of Candyland with her "auntie" Williams.

Noticeably, the game box was personalised with the young royal's name and that of her older brother, reading: "Archie & Lili".

Williams and Meghan's friendship dates back to 2010 when they first met at the Super Bowl.

Their bond strengthened after reconnecting at another Super Bowl four years later.

The tennis legend has taken an "auntie" role with the Sussexes' children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet.

Their aunt on their father's side, Princess Kate, lives in the UK with her own three children - Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.
