Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas Reportedly Visited Baby Archie—And Brought Expensive Gifts
UPDATE: 10:15 A.M., June 1, 2019:
Priyanka Chopra has said that The Sun‘s story about her meeting Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s baby Archie is not, in fact, true. “While these are great gift ideas… this story is untrue, and I was actually in town for work,” she tweeted. “I hope whoever this ‘source’ is starts checking their facts more often.”
Reporter Emily Andrews also responded on Twitter, writing, “Not quite sure what’s going on with this, but I wouldn’t publish something without having it confirmed. I had three separate sources for this story but if Priyanka says she didn’t visit Meghan & Archie then fair enough…”
Original Story:
He’s not even a month old, but Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, the first child of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, has had quite the schedule since he was born on May 6.
Archie’s met Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Kate Middleton and Prince William, and Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla, of course, but it’s not just his famous family who have stopped by. Serena Williams visited Frogmore Cottage ahead of the French Open to meet Archie, and now another A-list friend of Markle’s has come to Windsor as well.
The Sun‘s Emily Andrews reports that Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have also met Master Archie. “They thought baby Archie was just adorable and Meg is loving her new life,” a friend told the paper. “She looked fantastic and has taken to life as a mum swimmingly.”
Unsurprisingly, the Chopra-Jonases came bearing gifts for the youngest royal. The Sun reports that Chopra picked out a few items from Tiffany, including a $250 sterling silver bubble blower with a Tiffany blue accent.
Chopra was a guest (sans Jonas) at Markle and Prince Harry’s royal wedding last May, and the two have been friends for years. Unfortunately, though, the women were at the center of rumors a few months back alleging they were feuding because the Sussexes didn’t attend Chopra’s wedding in India.
“Their friendship is over unless Meghan apologizes,” a source told Page Six in February. “Priyanka is a huge international star with a tremendous social media following. She is probably more famous worldwide than Meghan is. She feels Meghan didn’t respect her, and didn’t respect their friendship.”
But Chopra put those rumors to rest in March during an appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live when she was asked if this alleged “feud” was why she didn’t attend Markle’s New York baby shower. “Oh my God, no. It’s not true,” she said, laughing.
