The insider said that the only reason why she wouldn't attend at some point throughout the two-week event would be if "the baby keeps her home last minute."

Last year, Meghan attended the 2018 Wimbledon women's singles final and sat in the royal box alongside sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. Williams lost to Germany's Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-3.

Before Meghan's first joint outing with Kate to support her pal, Serena gushed about the support she feels from the American-born royal.
