Priyanka Chopra responds to rumors she's avoiding Meghan Markle because they're feuding

Meghan Markle has to do very little to get the rumour mill going. Whether she's holding her baby bump in too much of a conspicuous manner, or "breaking" royal protocol by making an ordinary sartorial choice, the tabloids will inevitably have something to say about it.

Case in point: Priyanka Chopra was asked point blank on camera about her alleged feud with Meghan Markle, and it's all kinds of enlightening.

Of course, this was all a massive exaggeration. When the newlywed was asked whether she had upset Meghan during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she laughed and simply responded "Oh my god. No, it's not true."

Meghan hosted her baby shower at New York's The Mark Hotel last month, and it featured quite the guest list.  Vanity Fair reports that close friends, Serena Williams, Misha Nonoo, Jessica Mulroney, and Abigail Spencer were in attendance. But that's not all they brought to the table - no - according to the publication these same friends footed the bill for alleged $200,000 event, with Williams, in particular, being super generous.

Per Vanity Fair, tennis legend, Williams, organised the whole affair, and her duties apparently included booking and paying for a $75,000-a-night penthouse suite at The Mark, which as you've probably guessed is pretty bougie.

It has two floors, and is the "largest hotel penthouse suite" in the entirety of the US of A. Oh and it's also the most expensive hotel room in America. Go figure.

And to make this the baby shower to top all baby showers, Meghan flew to New York on a private jet, something which normally costs around $100,000. But again, according to the publication, another friend covered the cost of this.

This comes after months of negative press regarding the Duchess - covering everything from how she holds her baby bump to her sartorial choices.

Accordingly, Kensington Palace have reportedly been spending hours each week monitoring sexist, racist and even violent comments directed at both Meghan and her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, per a source at Hello Magazine.

"The Palace has always monitored comments but it’s a hugely time consuming thing," the publication's insider alleged. "They can block certain words, but some of it is quite serious. Over the course of last year, with hundreds of thousands of comments, there were two or three that were violent threats. You can delete and report and block people and the police have options around particular people. It’s something you have to manage because there’s no other way to control it."
