Among the many reasons behind why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s marriage created such a wave was the fact that Markle was actively working to make a prominent Hollywood career. This also was the reason why, on one hand, there was an out-pour of love from celebrities and, on the other, an outcry by certain journalists. But suddenly it’s all quiet on the Hollywood front for Markle. And the most surprising silence comes from the Duchess’ loudest supporter, Priyanka Chopra.

The Citadel actress and her friendship with Markle was among the most highlighted of the Duchess’ relationship. And unlike the larger crowd, Chopra did not seem to mind her association with Meghan Markle. She was unabashed in her support for the Suits actress even if that meant schooling a television host live. However, the actress’ silence is ringing louder than words as Markle faces one debacle after another.

While it holds a whole new meaning now, given how celebrities are turning their backs on her one by one, this is not the first time news of a rift between Markle and Chopra made headlines. This was also the case when Piers Morgan claimed that the Duchess and he had been very close up until she joined the royal family. And Chopra’s open confession about her friendship had been a great support.

Given how their friendship did not fade away during the time Markle found herself surrounded by the high walls of a palace, it is unlikely it will fade now. And Markle, not asking Priyanka Chopra to feature in the Harry & Meghan docuseries or gasp at her show of support like she did with Beyonce, may just be a product of the Citadel actress being busy. After all, she is one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood.
