The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, might have alienated her royal fanbase in the United Kingdom. However, she got plenty of support from her home nation, America. Be it the infamous Megxit, her numerous award-winning works, or the stirring interviews, the citizens across the pool have always showered her with love and cooperation in time as such. In fact, she earned herself some top-tier ever-supporting pals from the industry who have had her back for ages. One of them has been the global icon, Priyanka Chopra, who seems to have rekindled her support for the Duchess by throwing shade at her apparent royal rival, Kate Middleton. 

The feud between the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex comes as no new surprise. Time and again, the two royal women have been at loggerheads, although the Palace tried its best to cover the chaos. However, it all went public, when Prince Harry himself confessed to the feud in the bombshell Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan. This time around, it is the all-time supporter of the Duchess, Priyanka Chopra in her latest hit Citadel, who has stated quite a vulgar comment on Middleton in one of her dialogues.

In one of the scenes, replying to the front character, Priyanka Chopra’s Basto asks, “The chief of armed forces? You might as well have asked me how to get between the legs of the Duchess of Cambridge.” Although, the scene lasted not more than a few minutes in the episode. A couple of moments spoke a thousand words about the dynamics of her relationship with the royal family.
