C Flanigan/FilmMagic  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Apr 26, 2018 3:49 PM UTC Priyanka Chopra clearly isn’t shy about expressing her love for royal bride-to-be Meghan Markle. After recently praising Markle for [TIME 100](http://time.com/collection/most-influential-people-2018/5217561/meghan-markle), the _Quantico_ star again raved about her close friend during an interview with [PEOPLE Now](http://people.com/royals/priyanka-chopra-confirms-whether-shell-be-a-bridesmaid-in-meghan-markles-wedding/). “I’m super excited about her and her big day,” she said of Markle’s upcoming wedding to Prince Harry, noting that she will not serve as a bridesmaid in the May 19 ceremony. “It’s not just going to be life-changing for both of them, it’s life-changing for the world that needs to see strong women as icons, and I think Meghan has the potential to be that.” Chopra went on to explain why she thinks Markle is destined to be a [“princess for the people”](http://time.com/collection/most-influential-people-2018/5217561/meghan-markle/)—despite the fact that she will never officially hold the title of princess. “She’s just a really real girl,” Chopra told PEOPLE Now of Meghan. “She’s a girl’s girl. She’s a really relatable young woman who is concerned about the world just like you and I are. That’s what I love the most about her. I feel like her authenticity is what’s going to make her really stand out in this new life she’s going to take on.” > [](https://twitter.com/people/status/989217492265525252) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5255780/royal-wedding-priyanka-chopra-gushing-over-meghan-markle-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5255780/royal-wedding-priyanka-chopra-gushing-over-meghan-markle-video/"},"headline":"Priyanka Chopra Absolutely Gushing Over Meghan Markle Is Just the Best","datePublished":"2018-04-26T15:49:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:27.237Z","description":"\"She’s just a really real girl\"","url":"https://time.com/5255780/royal-wedding-priyanka-chopra-gushing-over-meghan-markle-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","royals","meghan markle"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0160636f851aaa61/69892ec37cdbacbf08d5cb3a/priyanka-chopra-meghan-markle.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0160636f851aaa61/69892ec37cdbacbf08d5cb3a/priyanka-chopra-meghan-markle.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2018 Sundance Film Festival - Priyanka Chopra","caption":"2018 Sundance Film Festival - Priyanka Chopra","creditText":"C Flanigan/FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5255780/royal-wedding-priyanka-chopra-gushing-over-meghan-markle-video/","name":"Priyanka Chopra Absolutely Gushing Over Meghan Markle Is Just the Best"}}]}] ```
