Serena Williams shows how she got ready for the royal wedding

Serena Williams documented her preparation for the royal wedding while paying tribute to her friend Meghan.

The tennis champion got ready with a face mask and a little eyebrow shaping.

And she even had fun combing husband Alexis Ohanian's beard.

"I'm up super early, for me," she said on Instagram.

"My friend's getting married. I've known her for so many years and I'm so happy for her."

And beginning her make-up routine, she said: "I'm definitely shaping my brows today but not for you, just because I want to."

But Williams was beginning the day a little tired.

"I had this amazing energy and now I'm just incredible sleepy. I didn't go to bed until three," she said.
