Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was mom-shamed by a Daily Mail writer for attending the US Open to watch and support her friend Serena Williams without her son Archie. Meghan sat in William's player box with Serena's husband Alexis Ohanian, Oracene Price and Venus Williams, Serena's mother, and sister respectively. Patrick Mouratoglou, Serena's coach and Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour was also seen sharing the same box. While many saw a strong woman supporting a friend, for a British tabloid, it became a chance to mock and criticize the Duchess.
The writer criticized the Duchess of Sussex for taking a solo trip and leaving her four-month-old son Archie at home. The writer also compared the Duchess to herself claiming that she would never leave her firstborn at home even for a few days. She further said that Meghan's trip back to her country to support her friend was just a stunt and was just flaunting her famous friendships. The writer went on to say that the Duchess has offended the Queen as she has not gone to the Queen's Scottish residence in Balmoral and instead took a trip to the States.
