7 Of Meghan Markle’s Most Supportive Celebrity Friends (4 of 4)

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey and Meghan may not be seen getting coffee and donuts every weekend, but Carey has still been a great friend and ally. In 2022, Mariah appeared on Meghan’s Spotify podcast Archetypes, where the two discussed the word “diva” and their shared experiences as biracial women. Carey later added that she found the topic very important and agreed with Meghan’s perspective on things. Their chat also had one of the funniest moments of the series, when Mariah dropped the “diva” bomb on unsuspecting Meghan, and the duchess briefly panicked before realizing it was meant as a compliment. If anyone else calls you a diva, you should be worried, but not if it’s Mariah Carey.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Priyanka and Meghan became good friends before Meghan’s royal life fully took over. They bonded at an ELLE Women in Television event in 2016, which helped them stay connected as women and as actresses. Priyanka has also defended Meghan against scummy tabloid tactics. In 2019, people thought these two had fallen out because Meghan missed Priyanka’s wedding and Priyanka skipped Meghan’s baby shower, but Chopra shut down the speculation, also praising Meghan as someone who wanted to make a difference, especially when it came to representation, activism, and using fame for something bigger than feeding one’s ego and getting paid.
