Will Priyanka Chopra Be at the Royal Wedding
Now that we're just days away from the royal wedding, more information about the guest list is coming to light. One person who's heading to Windsor on May 19? Meghan Markle's good friend Priyanka Chopra.
And while she is not a bridesmaid, she does have a bit of intel on the dress.
While appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Chopra revealed that Markle was emotional when she chose her dress. When Cohen asked," Do you know if she cried when she said yes to the dress?" Chopra gave it away with her facial expression. Watch it all go down below.
This isn't the first time Chopra has spoken publicly about her famous friend.
"I've known Meghan for three years and I’m so happy the way the world has responded to her because as long as I’ve known her … she is a relatable young woman of the world today,” she recently told Us Weekly. “She’s that girl who thinks out of the box. She has always been an activist. She has always had a strong voice. She’s an ambitious girl of today. I think the world needs strong role models like Meghan. I think, I hope, Meghan will end up being one of those people.”
Earlier this month, Meghan Markle was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people, alongside not only her fiancé Prince Harry, but also business titans such as Jeff Bezos, world leaders Donald Trump, Justin Trudeau, and Kim Jong Un and artists like her former acting colleagues like Gal Gadot, Tiffany Haddish, and Nicole Kidman.
Each honoree is described by someone significant to their life and work. For example, Gadot's is by the original Wonder Woman, Lydia Carter Haddish's is by Kevin Hart.
Markle's write up is by Chopra. In the short piece, the Quantico predicts Markle will be a "princess for the people."
"This ever-smiling, strong free spirit found her prince, fell in love and in turn made a cynical world believe in fairy tales again. But more than anything else, Meghan is an important influencer in a world that needs strong public figures to respect and look up to. People the world can be inspired by," she writes.
"Meghan, standing shoulder to shoulder with Harry, will be a princess for the people. Love always, my friend. Live happily ever after."
Chopra has previously shared that she thinks Markle is a perfect fit for the royal family.
"I don’t think anybody else would be able to do it the way she will. She’s just right for it," she told the publication. "She’s an icon, truly, that girls can look up to, that women can look up to. She’s normal, she’s sweet, she’s nice, she thinks about the world, wants to change it and this was even before any of this happened."
She also sees Harry and Meghan's marriage as a "big step" forward for the centuries-old institution.
"So I do think Meghan being a part of the royal family is a big step in the direction of so many things; of women, of feminism, of diversity, of race, of the monarchy versus everyone else. It’s a beautiful step in the right direction."
Chopra has spoken up for her friend and her depiction in the media several times. Last year following Markle's Vanity Fair cover story, Chopra criticized the article, even calling it "a little sexist."
"I don't if I will get into trouble for this, but I have an opinion," Chopra told ET. "I mean, she's on the cover of Vanity Fair. It would have been nice to write about her not just her boyfriend. I'm just saying. I mean, she's an actor, she's an activist, she's a philanthropist. I mean, she does so much more."
"It's just a little sexist," she continued. "Look, I'm a feminist and I love boys, okay… The only thing I'm saying is that there needs to be a certain sense of equality where a woman is not just a plus one, you know. It's nice to be your own identity to."
Markle and Chopra first met several years ago at the annual ELLE Women in Television dinner and have remained close. “We bonded as actors," she said. "We just became friends, like two girls would."
