We’re just about three weeks away from the big royal wedding and the final details are falling into place. Kensington Palace has officially confirmed what we already assumed: Prince William will serve as best man to his little brother Prince Harry. The music for the ceremony is set. And at long last, we’re starting to hear more about who will actually be in attendance. Yesterday, Meghan Markle’s friend, actress Priyanka Chopra, confirmed that she will be there to witness the vows on May 19.

Now another of Markle’s good pals, Serena Williams, is speaking out about the royal nuptials. In an interview with Good Morning America‘s Robin Roberts, Williams played coy about whether or not she’ll be donning a fascinator to watch Markle walk down the aisle. “I don’t know,” she said. “I think it’s during one of the tournaments, so we’ll see if I can make it.” She then jokingly chastised Roberts, “Robin, don’t be asking me them questions!” (The French Open begins the Monday after the royal wedding.)

Williams did, however, have some advice for the bride-to-be: “I just think it’s so important to enjoy the moment. And eat the cake—I didn’t get to eat mine at the wedding. We were just having so much fun!” She continued, “If I could give her any advice it would just be to enjoy the preparation and enjoy the planning. It just goes so fast.”

Williams obviously knows a thing or two about planning a high-profile wedding. She married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in a lavish New Orleans ceremony last year with a French ball meets Beauty and the Beast theme. The guest list included people many would consider American royalty from Beyoncé to Kim Kardashian West. She even chose a royal-adjacent dress designer. Markle’s soon-to-be sister in law also wore Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen when she wed Prince William seven years ago.

Fingers crossed we see Serena across the pond in a few weeks.
