Earlier this month, Meghan Markle made the trip to New York City for a baby shower hosted by a handful of her closest friends. Several of the duchess’ A-list besties were in attendance, including Serena Williams and Amal Clooney. But one of Meg’s most high-profile gal pals was noticeably absent. And now, insiders are claiming it’s just the latest indication of a heated rivalry between Meghan and actress Priyanka Chopra. As you may recall, back in November, Chopra married Nick Jonas . In fact, for reasons that still aren’t entirely clear, the couple tied the knot several times, hosting lavish receptions for each ceremony. And as many pointed out, Meghan wasn’t present for any of them. No doubt, this came as a bit of a surprise to Chopra, who attended the Meghan and Prince Harry’s wedding back in May. Of course, that was the social event of the year, and each of Chopra’s weddings was simply a tour stop with a Jonas brother. We kid, obviously, and the fact is that Meghan had numerous good reasons for not attending any of Priyanka’s weddings, not the least of which is that she had a whole slate of royal obligations to attend to, all while pregnant. We’re sure all of this was conveyed to Chopra, but insiders say the actress was still devastated by Meghan’s absence. “Priyanka was crushed,” one insider tells Page Six Another informant says that Chopra feels Meghan has gotten too big for her britches and has forgotten that some of her friends are pretty big deals in their own right. “Their friendship is over unless Meghan apologizes,” says the source. “Priyanka is a huge international star with a tremendous social media following,” the insider adds. “She is probably more famous worldwide than Meghan is. She feels Meghan didn’t respect her and didn’t respect their friendship.” We’re not sure about all that, but Priyanka is a pretty big deal on the global scale. Predictably, a spokesperson for Chopra insists that there’s no bad blood between these icons. “There are no issues between the two women. They are friends, and anything you’re being told otherwise is inaccurate and untrue,” says the rep. The ladies themselves have not yet spoken on the matter. In fact, the last time that either of them spoke about the other was Priyanka gushed about Meghan in an interview last year. “She’s an icon, truly, that girls can look up to, that women can look up to,” Chopra said at the time. “She’s normal, she’s sweet, she’s nice.” Here’s hoping these two can get back to that energy sometime soon.
