On April 28, subscribers to the Amazon Prime Video streaming platform were delighted to discover the first season of Citadel. The opportunity to find Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jones in the roles of Mason Kane and Nadia Sinh, two spies who must reconstruct their past after being left for dead during a mission in Italy.
And if the series has been much talked about, it is also because of a very daring joke about Kate Middleton. In the third episode of the program, which aired on May 5, Mason Kane asked another character, Balduino Basto, to help him enter the office of the head of the armed forces.
During the sequence, Nadia then reacted with a joke that did not go unnoticed: “The head of the armed forces? You might as well ask me how to get between the legs of the Duchess of Cambridge.”
To find out more about this joke referring to the Princess of Wales, Page Six revealed that it contacted “a representative of Amazon Prime Video”, but also “the press officer” of Priyanka Chopra Jones. However, both have yet to respond.
Meghan Markle and Priyanka Chopra Jones: two long-time friends
If the joke in the series Citadel had such an impact in the media and on social networks, it is also because the interpreter of Nadia Sinh has always been very close to Meghan Markle. Witness the revelations of Priyanka Chopra during an interview with People magazine in September 2017, in which the actress had returned to their meeting.
“Our acting work brought us together. We just became friends, as two girls can become,” she had confided. For her part, the Duchess of Sussex, who had been interviewed by the Indian press, had also delivered on their relationship. “Priyanka is incredible… You know when you meet someone and everything is immediately obvious… It just happened naturally and easily. […] We saw each other every time we were in the same city,” she had said.
