Royal fans have speculated that Priyanka Chopra purposely snubbed Kate Middleton and Prince William, in support of Meghan Markle, by choosing not to clap when the couple arrived at the royal box at Wimbledon.
On Saturday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived at Wimbledon ahead of the Women’s Singles Final, with many members of the surrounding crowd cheering their arrival.
However, in one clip circulating online, rather than join in on the welcome, Chopra, who was seated two rows behind the Cambridges, appeared to take the opportunity to instead re-adjust her scarf, and then look away from the royal couple.
On social media, the alleged snub was met with mostly amused and supportive responses, with many hypothesising that the actress’s reaction had to do with her longtime friendship with the Duchess of Sussex.
“It’s Priyanka Chopra not applauding to the prince’s arrival for me,” one person tweeted along with the clip, which has since been viewed more than 49,000 times.
Another person wrote: “Priyanka said: ‘The only prince I acknowledge lives in Montecito,’” in reference to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s home in California.
