Actor Meghan Markle is to marry Prince Harry, fifth in line to the royal throne of England next year, and Priyanka Chopra can't contain her excitement.

The Quantico star took to Instagram to express her delight and congratulate her close friend 'Meg'.

'Congratulations to my girl @meghanmarkle and Prince Harry!! I’m so happy for you Meg! You deserve the best always..keep smiling that infectious smile. Xoxo,' she wrote on Instagram along with a pic of the couple.

Priyanka has been touted as a potential bridesmaid when Markle ties the knot with Prince Harry next spring.

The two first met at a party in Toronto, Canada -- where Meghan filmed Suits -- two years ago. 

And ever since the two count each other as close friends. They have often been spotted hanging out together. 

It was on the Wendy Williams show that Priyanka proved that the two are indeed very close. 

When the anchor on the talk show quizzed the Quantico actor about 'Prince Harry's girlfriend', Priyanka quickly corrected her saying, 'Also Meghan Markle...you know, an actress in Suits, her own achievements?'

Priyanka revealed that she had known Meghan for two years after the two randomly met at a party. 

When quizzed by the talk show host about whether she would get invited to the royal wedding, Priyanka remained pretty vague, 'So once I get the invite, I don't know...if I'm even invited.'

Take a look at these pics!
