Their backstory: Markle and Chopra connected at an Elle dinner celebrating women in TV back in 2016 and have stayed friends ever since. Chopra even attended Markle’s wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.
In a 2016 interview with The Indian Express, Markle talked about her close friendship with Chopra: “You know when you meet someone and you just click? It was just an easy, natural progression. We’ve managed to keep in touch via email and text, and try to see each other whenever we’re both in the same town.”
