American tennis ace Serena Williams has revealed that she admires how confident and selfless her friend Duchess Meghan is, especially in the wake of her tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this month.

Speaking during the debut episode of The Shine Series, Williams said: "Meghan is a great person and I think the epitome of strength, the epitome of confidence, the epitome of just selflessness, and the epitome of everything is just her and everything that she's gone through.And I know it's not easy, and you can see from the interview that it wasn't easy. But she had so much poise and she still had so much class."
