Although Meghan moved across the pond to be with her husband and take on the duties of a full-fledged member of the royal family, Chopra previously shared that thedistance hasn’t affected their bond.
“I think friendships depend on people individually and how personal your relationship is,” she told PEOPLE in July. “You can have work friendships, those are different. But when you have real friendships, like ours, it doesn’t matter what people look at you as or where your world goes, you sort of just, stay friends. And I think that’s what we’re like.”
Chopra’s wedding to Jonas also came at a busy time – when Meghan, 37, andPrince Harry, 34, are expecting their first child.
Meghan also wasn’t in attendance at friendSerena Williams’ nuptials to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanianlast November. But her absence likely had to do with the fact that she was getting ready to share her own big news with the world.Meghan and Harry’s engagementwas announced just days later on November 27. Williams attended Meghan’s royal wedding in May, and thetwo couples spent time together over the summer at Harry’s polo matchin Ascot.
