If seeing Priyanka Chopra shut down a TV presenter for her sexist remarks on Meghan Markle [1] wasn't enough to convince you of their tight bond, her latest tribute should do the trick. The 35-year-old actress and former Miss World has never been afraid to gush about the royal bride-to-be [2], and she recently penned an adorable profile of Meghan for Time's annual 100 Most Influential People list [3].
The Quantico star begins by recalling the moment she realised Meghan's love for philanthropy [4]. "Somewhere among biryani, poutine and endless conversations, I realised just how deeply Meghan Markle [5] cares for the world," Priyanka writes. "With her, what you see is real, and what you get is a relatable young woman with her heart and mind in the right place. Her compassion, evident in the causes she supports, and her drive to break down stereotypes — obvious in her actions — will connect her to a generation in much need of kindness."
She also made a sweet comparison between Meghan and the late Princess Diana [6], calling her friend a "princess for the people" who "found her prince, fell in love and in turn made a cynical world believe in fair tales again." It's very clear that the two have formed a great friendship over the years, and we can't wait to see if Priyanka will be there to celebrate Meghan's big day in May [7].
