MEGHAN Markle was pictured at Wimbledon with two of her best friends from university on Thursday, July 4, to support Serena Williams.
But who is Genevieve Hillis, and how does she know the Duchess of Sussex? Here’s what we know about her.
Who is Genevieve Hillis?
Genevieve is part of the trio of best friends, alongside Meghan and Lindsay Roth.
The three women were at Northwestern University School of Communication together, graduating back in 2003.
Meghan and Genevieve were even sorority sisters in the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
She co-organised Meghan’s baby shower in New York, alongside Serena Williams.
TV presenter Gayle King said of the shower: “I think her friends just wanted to celebrate her. Serena and her best friend who’s been her best friend since she was 17, Genevieve, and her friend Jessica Mulroney.
“Those were the three women who put it all together. It was a very, very small, private affair and just a very special time for her”.
She’s also one of the rumoured people to become godmother to Meghan and Prince Harry‘s new baby, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released details about Archie’s christening, revealing the highly anticipated ceremony will take place on Saturday, July 6, 2019.
The new parents also announced they will release official photos from the day some time in the future.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will christen the royal baby at the Private Chapel in Windsor Castle, and the couple have asked photographer Chris Allerton to take pictures.
A statement, released by Buckingham Palace, reads: “Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor will be christened in a small private ceremony by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday 6 July.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex look forward to sharing some images taken on the day by photographer Chris Allerton.
“The godparents, in keeping with their wishes, will remain private.”
