Priyanka Chopra Stands Up For Meghan Markle, Blaming The British Press For Racist Comments

Priyanka Chopra has not been together with Meghan Markle since Prince Harry and Meghan's royal wedding, but their three-year friendship is still intact. After the Duchess of Sussex started dating Prince Harry in 2016, she has been the target of gossips and racist comments by the British press.

Royal decorum may limit Meghan’s response to this unfair treatment, but her friend Priyanka is not holding back. Recently, the Bollywood actress has stepped out to defend Meghan, claiming that her pal is undoubtedly a victim of racism.

In a candid interview with The Sunday Times, Priyanka Chopra pointed out that Meghan Markle is rooted in racism.

The actress also believes that much of the negative commentary from the British press is due to Meghan's biracial heritage.

Priyanka continued to shower her friend with praise, saying that Meghan remains just as grounded as she was before being a part of the Royal family. Moreover, Nick Jonas' wife also recalled how they spent hours discussing the difference that dialogue can make to the world.

Earlier this year, rumors popped up that Priyanka Chopra and Meghan Markle were in a "feud" after Duchess of Sussex missed out on Priyanka and Nick Jonas' wedding last year. Later, the Isn't It Romantic actress also opted out of Meghan's baby shower in New York City, and their relationship was reported to be "on the rocks." However, Priyanka has shut down all the rumors that the two are no longer besties.

According to a report from The Sun, the former Miss World had visited Meghan and baby Archie, bringing along Tiffany jewelry with her. Once again, Priyanka has had enough of the false reports. On Saturday, she took it to Twitter to correct the story, explaining that she was only in London for work.
