Since they first became friends, Priyanka Chopra has complimented Meghan Markle's passion for philanthropic work. And when Markle joined the royal family, Chopra shared just how monumental the occasion was. She told Harper's Bazaar Arabia she thinks Markle is exactly who the royal family needs in order to become their best selves. "I don't think anybody else would be able to do it the way she will. She's just right for it," Chopra said about Markle becoming a Duchess. "She's an icon, truly, that girls can look up to, that women can look up to." 

Additionally, Chopra listed all of the characteristics that made Markle the right person for the job. "She's normal, she's sweet, she's nice, she thinks about the world, wants to change it and this was even before any of this happened," Chopra continued. She also said that Markle is admired by minorities everywhere, and represents progression "of women, of feminism, of diversity, of race, [and] of the monarchy versus everyone else."
