Given how the two are passionate about philanthropy and excel at acting, how they are close friends is not a tough nut to crack. From interrupting Wendy Williams to list down Markle’s achievements to choosing to fix her scarf in favor of welcoming Prince William and Kate Middleton at Wimbledon in 2021, Priyanka Chopra has made her stance and friendship with Meghan Markle very clear.

Did Priyanka Chopra just snub the Royals at Wimbledon?

The Quantico actress recently attended the Wimbledon women’s final. The actress made headlines not only for looking stunning but also for her supposed snub of the Royals. A video of the royal box at Wimbledon where Priyanka Chopra is seen fixing her scarf as everyone stood up to applaud the entrance of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Furthermore, the actress, who was seated only two rows behind the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, did not look at the Royals for the rest of the game. Many fans believe that the actress has done so in order to show support to her friend Meghan Markle. Not long ago, a video of Prince William repeatedly fixing his scarf while trying to ignore Meghan Markle went viral. Whether it is unclear if Chopra witnessed the awkward moment, the fact that the actress cares more about her scarf than welcoming the Royals is pretty clear.

This is just one of the many times the Quantico actress has shown her strong friendship with Meghan Markle. When Wendy Williams introduced Meghan Markle as “Price Harry’s girlfriend,” Chopra did not have it.
