Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton made their first joint appearance together sans husbands at Wimbledon on Saturday. That’s right, folks … not a William or Harry in sight.

The two attended the women’s final, where Serena Williams — who, remember, is Meghan’s close friend — played Angelique Kerber for the championship. Williams ended up losing to Kerber, but we are sure this is not Kate and Meghan’s fault.

Anyway, now there are approximately ten billion photos of the two duchesses hanging out, because of course there are.

Here they are!

Tennis star Martina Navratilova has claimed she gets paid a mere tenth of John McEnroe’s salary for her work as a commentator at Wimbledon. 

Speaking on BBC Panorama, the Czech tennis champion—who’s considered among the best female tennis players of all time— revealed that she gets paid about £15K ($21K) for her role as a Wimbledon commentator, while John McEnroe earns £150K ($209K) for the same work.
