Last weekend, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas had a two-day wedding celebration in India where the actress hails from. While Priyanka was not marrying into royalty, her wedding certainly rivaled that of Meghan’s. It began with traditional Indian parties leading up to a Western-style ceremony on Dec. 1, officiated by Nick’s father. Priyanka wore an intricate custom Ralph Lauren gown with an astonishing 75-foot train. The next day, the couple held a Hindu ceremony. Both affairs were truly elaborate, fit for an Indian princess.
Sadly, Priyanka’s princess friend Meghan was noticeably missing on both ceremonies. The Duchess of Sussex, who is currently pregnant with her first child, also skipped Priyanka and Nick’s reception in Delhi on Tuesday, Dec. 4. Instead, she was spotted in London that evening while attending a concert with Prince Harry.
According to the Daily Express, the concert was an important event for Prince Harry. It was in honor of Henry van Straubenzee, the prince’s childhood friend who died at the age of 18. Meghan was photographed clinging on to her husband, her baby bump visible under her dark blue coat.
While Kensington Palace did not comment on why the Duchess missed her friend’s big day, a source revealed to Harper’s Bazaar that both Harry and Meghan were invited to all the celebrations in India. However, the royal couple reportedly declined to travel to India due to Meghan’s pregnancy.

Meghan and Priyanka met in 2016 at a Hollywood event. The two actresses maintained their friendship as their careers soared. After attending Meghan’s royal wedding back in May, Priyanka wrote a touching tribute to her friend on Instagram. She called the new princess an “epitome of grace, love, and beauty.”
“Every once in a while there is a moment when time stands still. That happened today,” Priyanka wrote.
