Priyanka Chopra says Meghan Markle is more than just ‘Prince Harry's Girlfriend’
She may have become one of the most famous women in the world after her relationship with Prince Harry was confirmed, but Meghan Markle was a star in her own right before the dating rumours started circulating. And her good friend Priyanka Chopra wants everyone to know it.
During an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show on Tuesday (May 23) to discuss her new film Baywatch, Priyanka was quick to defend Meghan when Wendy steered the conversation to the topic of their relationship and referred to the American star as “Prince Harry’s girlfriend.”
"Also, Meghan Markle, actress, Suits, her own achievements,” Priyanka quipped, pointing out that the 35-year-old has many achievements—which shouldn’t be overshadowed by the fact that she’s dating a senior member of the royal family. Wendy agreed with her, and Priyanka laughed, adding a playful “just saying!”

Meghan, who currently plays the role of Rachel Zane in the legal drama Suits, is also a Global Ambassador for World Vision Canada and frequently works as an advocate for the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women). Much of her interest in world affairs stems from her studies in international relations at Northwestern University. She was also the face of Canadian retailer Reitmans and ran her own lifestyle blog The Tig, which she retired earlier this year.
Moving on from her gaff, Wendy asked the Quantico star if she thinks Harry and Meghan will get married. “I hope so,” Priyanka replied. “She seems happy… I think they look great together.”
The Bollywood megastar, who is famously private about her own relationships, added: “High-profile relationships are so stressful. As a friend, I wouldn’t want to add to that at all.”
