The series promises to bring fans into her life in Montecito, showcasing her love for homemaking, creativity, and thoughtful gestures. 

However, it was not filmed in her own home, with the production taking place in a farmhouse wedding venue owned by philanthropists Tom and Sherrie Cipolla, located about two miles from Meghan and Prince Harry’s home.

Meghan and Serena met in 2010 at the Super Bowl, and became close friends after reconnecting in 2014, at another Super Bowl.

“When Serena Williams barrelled in my direction this past February at an event, nails done, hair done, everything did, I’ll be honest and say I looked behind me to see who she was running to,” Meghan recalled in 2014 on her now-defunct blog The Tig.

“It was Serena Williams, after all. Serena-numberonetennisplayerintheworld-Williams. Whose match I had watched with bated breath at the previous Open, giggling with delight to be that close to her legendary serve,” she went on, before noting: “Turns out this fancy lady was coming to me.”

She continued: “We hit it off immediately, taking pictures, laughing through the flag football game we were both playing in, and chatting not about tennis or acting, but about all the good old fashioned girly stuff.”

“She quickly became a confidante I would text when I was traveling, the friend I would rally around for her tennis matches, and the down to earth chick I was able to grab lunch with just a couple weeks ago in Toronto,” she continued.

Serena helped celebrate Meghan and Harry’s wedding at Windsor Castle in May of 2018.

A year later Meghan enjoyed watching Serena play at Wimbledon alongside her sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales,, and Serena was also at Meghan’s baby shower for eldest son Prince Archie.
