The close friendship between actress Priyanka Chopra and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle is currently strained, an insider claims.
The two women are very close friends and Priyanka was a guest at Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry last May.
But Markle declined to attend Priyanka’s wedding to Nick Jonas in December which a source said left Priyanka “crushed.”
The source also claims that’s why, the Bollywood star, was absent at Markle’s baby shower last week at the Mark Hotel in New York. Serena Williams and Amal Clooney co-hosted the shower, with attendees such as Gayle King.
Reports claim that Chopra was “bogged down” in Los Angeles with meetings about a book she is writing, but those with inside knowledge of the feud believe the real reason is that Markle hurt her feelings by not coming to her wedding.
“Their friendship is over unless Meghan apologizes,”
said one source.
“Priyanka is a huge international star with a tremendous social media following. She is probably more famous worldwide than Meghan is. She feels Meghan didn’t respect her and didn’t respect their friendship.”
A spokesperson for Chopra refused to comment, but a source close to the Miss World 2000 winner debunked the rumours saying,
“‘There are no issues between the two women. They are friends, and anything you’re being told otherwise is inaccurate and untrue.”
Chopra has previously been speculated to become the godmother for Markle’s soon-to-be-born baby.
