Priyanka Chopra and Meghan Markle have been good friends for about three years now. They’ve seen Hamilton together. They’ve posed for selfies. They’re the real deal. In fact, Chopra’s come to Markle’s defense several times when the duchess-to-be is labeled as just “Prince Harry’s girlfriend.” We know Chopra’s going to the royal wedding this month, but she’s remained tight-lipped about if she’s a bridesmaid or what she’s wearing.

What we do know, though, is that Chopra and Markle are still in regular communication. Contrary to popular belief, Markle didn’t have to give up all technology when she entered the royal family. (This isn’t prison, people!) She still has her cell phone, and she and Chopra apparently text all the time.

“She still texts a lot, which is great,” Chopra told Rachael Ray during an interview on the chef’s talk show Wednesday (May 2).

The Quantico actress laughed at Ray’s suggestion that the royal family confiscated Markle’s phone. “I think she has a phone. She really is a [normal girl],” Chopra said.

Last month, Chopra wrote a lovely tribute essay about Markle for Time magazine—the former Suits star was named one of the publication’s 100 most influential people—and she echoed similar sentiments during her chat with Ray. “She’s such a girl’s girl, and I’ve known her for three years now,” Chopra said. “I’m so happy for everything that’s happened to her, because I really feel like she’s one of those female icons that I feel could be a strong idol for girls around the world, because she really cares about the world. Really cares.”

FWIW, Meghan and Priyanka: I’m very down to start a group chat with you guys.
