Queen of the court? Try Queen of the world. Serena Williams has just added yet another glittering jewel to her already stacked crown, as Spain has officially named her the latest recipient of the prestigious Princess of Asturias Prize for Sports—and honestly, who else could it have been?
From Grand Slam domination to redefining what it means to be an athlete, Serena hasn’t just played the game—she’s rewritten the rulebook. And now, Europe’s royals are giving her the royal treatment she’s more than earned. Previous recipients include the likes of Rafa Nadal and Formula 1 royalty, so yes, she’s in elite company… but let’s be real, Serena is the company.
The Spanish foundation praised her “immense impact on global sport and society,” but they could’ve just said: “She’s Serena. You get it.”
Naturally, the internet is doing backflips. Fans, celebs, and athletes are flooding social media with congratulatory messages and well-deserved Serena stanning. Even those who’ve faced her across the net (and lost in straight sets) are tipping their caps.
And what did Serena do? She kept it classy, of course. In true GOAT fashion, she posted a short but sweet thank-you, dripping with grace… and just enough sparkle to remind everyone that even in retirement, she’s still the moment.
From Compton to the palace—Serena’s journey keeps making history. And honestly? She’s still just getting started.
Spain, take a bow—you picked the right queen. 🐐👑
