All the times Duchess Meghan’s friends have opened up about her becoming a mom

Serena Williams
Duchess Meghan and Serena’s friendship goes way back to 2014, and it’s more than likely the tennis pro – who became a first-time mom in September 2017 – has been offering the duchess some incredible advice. While chatting with E! News, Serena gushed over her future-mom friend: “She'll be the best mom, for sure.”
Serena also shared the biggest lesson she’s learned as a mother: “Accept mistakes and don’t expect to be perfect. We put so much pressure on ourselves.”

Abigail Spencer
Abigail and Meghan became fast friends on the set of Suits, and it’s clear their bond has only grown stronger since. The duo were spotted out and about in New York City during Meghan’s whirlwind baby shower week.
Abigail – who has an adorable son named Roman – also opened up to E! News about her friend as a future mom. “I think it goes without saying, she's incredible,” she gushed. “She's incredible and that baby is so lucky to have them as their parents.”

Michelle Obama
The former First Lady of the United States met with Meghan in secret during a promotional book tour stop in London late last year. While the two surely had many things to talk about, it’s likely mother-to-three Michelle gave Meghan a pep talk. Later on, the activist gave the duchess some excellent parenting advice while chatting with Good Housekeeping UK.
She said: “Like me, Meghan probably never dreamt that she’d have a life like this, and the pressure you feel – from yourself and from others – can sometimes feel like a lot... So my biggest piece of advice would be to take some time and don’t be in a hurry to do anything. I spent the first few months in the White House mainly worrying about my daughters, making sure they were off to a good start at school and making new friends before I launched into any more ambitious work. I think it’s OK – it’s good, even – to do that.”

Priyanka Chopra
Ever since Priyanka and Meghan met in 2016 at an ELLE Women in Television event, they’ve been besties. The Quantico star recently said “I do” to her husband, Nick Jonas, and has had a few things to say about her BFF's pregnancy. “I would, as a friend, just say that I’m really excited for her,” she told People in October 2018, adding that she hopes the new phase of motherhood will be “amazing” for her.
