Throwing shade? Priyanka Chopra Jonas<\/strong><\/a> and Richard Madden<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s spy thriller series,\u00a0Citadel<\/a>,\u00a0<\/i>features a subtle joke<\/a> about Princess Kate<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Citadel\u00a0<\/i>\u2014 which premiered on Prime Video<\/a> in April \u2014 follows the downfall of a global spy agency that erases the memories of its agents. Chopra Jonas, 40, and Madden, 36, star as two former spies attempting to piece together their pasts<\/a> and regain their strength to take on the Manticore crime organization.<\/p>\n In episode 3, the\u00a0Quantico\u00a0<\/i>alum\u2019s character Nadia Sinh instructs partner Mason Kane\/ Kyle Conroy (played by Madden) to meet with crime leader Balduino Basto to broker a deal with the military. Nadia does not appear in person, only via earpiece to translate for Mason.<\/p>\n \u201cThe chief of armed forces? You might as well have asked me how to get between the legs of the Duchess of Cambridge,\u201d Sen Monro<\/strong>\u2019s Balduino Basto asked Mason during the scene.<\/p>\n Neither the Prime Video production nor Chopra Jonas have further addressed the show\u2019s diss at the 41-year-old Princess of Wales, who earned the Duchess of Cambridge title<\/a> upon her April 2011 wedding to Prince William<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Baywatch\u00a0<\/i>actress is a close friend of Kate\u2019s sister-in-law, Meghan Markle<\/strong><\/a>. Chopra Jonas even scored an invite to Meghan\u2019s May 2018 nuptials<\/a> to Prince Harry<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve known Meghan for three years and I\u2019m so happy the way the world has responded to her<\/a> because as long as I\u2019ve known her \u2026 she is a relatable young woman of the world today,\u201d the\u00a0Unfinished\u00a0<\/i>author exclusively told\u00a0Us Weekly\u00a0<\/i>in April 2018<\/a> of the 41-year-old\u00a0Suits\u00a0<\/i>alum. \u201cShe\u2019s that girl who thinks out of the box. She has always been an activist. She has always had a strong voice. She\u2019s an ambitious girl of today. I think the world needs strong role models like Meghan<\/a>. I think, I hope, Meghan will end up being one of those people.\u201d<\/p>\n While the Duchess of Sussex can lean on pals<\/a> like Chopra Jonas, she has experienced some ups and downs with Kate<\/a>. The Duke of Sussex, 38, alleged in his\u00a0Spare\u00a0<\/i>memoir that his sister-in-law was taken aback<\/a> by the media\u2019s frequent comparisons of the two women.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it had Kate on edge while putting her and everyone else on notice that she was now going to be compared to, and forced to compete with, Meg,\u201d Harry wrote in his debut book<\/a>, which was published in January.<\/p>\n The prince went on to detail an awkward moment when his wife asked to borrow Kate\u2019s lip gloss before a joint Royal Foundation Forum appearance<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cKate, taken aback, went into her handbag and reluctantly pulled out a small tube. Meg squeezed some onto her finger and applied it to her lips. Kate grimaced,\u201d the Invictus Games cofounder recalled in the tome,<\/a> claiming the press later \u201csensed\u201d the tension. He added: \u201c\u2018Here we go,\u2019 I thought sorrowfully.\u201d<\/p>\n The Duchess of Cornwall, for her part, has not addressed speculation of a feud with Meghan or responded to the show\u2019s joke at her expense.<\/p>\n![\"Priyanka](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Priyanka-Chopras-Citadel-Makes-Crude-Joke-About-Princess-Kate-Amid-the-Actress-Friendship-With-Meghan-Markle-Inline.jpg?w=700&quality=86&strip=all\")
