Priyanka Chopra Confirms She's Attending Her Good Friend Meghan Markle's Wedding
It’s official: Priyanka Chopra is attending her good friend Meghan Markle wedding to Prince Harry. The Quantico actress confirmed the news to Us Weekly on Wednesday (April 25).
Granted, Chopra didn’t tell the magazine much. At this point, all we know is that she’s attending. Chopra doesn’t even know what she’s wearing. “I sort of may have an idea,” Chopra told Us Weekly. “But no, I haven’t picked one out yet.”
This news, while exciting, shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Markle and Chopra have been friends for years. In fact, the Baywatch star has come to Markle’s defense several times in the press—including when Wendy Williams referred to her as just “Prince Harry’s girlfriend.”
“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,” Chopra also 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.”
Chopra expressed similar kind sentiments about Markle in an essay for Time magazine. (Markle and Prince Harry were included in the publication’s annual 100 Most Influential People list.) “With her, what you see is real, and what you get is a relatable young woman with her heart and mind in the right place,” Chopra wrote of her soon-to-be duchess friend.
The royal wedding guest list is, by and large, still a mystery; however, it’s slowly but surely trickling out. In addition to Chopra, Kensington Palace announced a few weeks back that Markle and Prince Harry invited about 3,000 members of the British public to their nuptials. It’s also safe to assume Prince Harry’sfamily members—like Prince William, Kate Middleton, and, of course, the Queen—will also be in attendance.
TBH, I’m still waiting for my invitation to arrive in the mail.
