Venus Williams sparked speculation at the 2024 ESPYs when she was seen not immediately standing or clapping for Prince Harry as he accepted the Pat Tillman Award For Service. While Meghan Markle enthusiastically applauded her husband's achievement, Williams remained seated initially. However, she later stood up with the rest of the audience during Harry's speech.
Following the incident, social media was abuzz with divided opinions. Some praised Williams for her authenticity, while others criticized her actions as perceived shade towards Harry. However, a source clarified that Williams did stand up to show her support, contrary to initial assumptions.
