'Citadel' plunged into controversy after Meghan Markle pal Priyanka Chopra's show makes vulgar dig at Kate Middleton

'When brilliant women shine the ones that are frustrated and unhappy gossip showing us their envy,' wrote one fan

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kate Middleton was targeted with a crude sexual insult in the latest episode of the 'Citadel' series, which features Priyanka Chopra, a friend of Meghan Markle. The popular spy thriller, currently streaming on Amazon Prime, follows the elite espionage agent Nadia Sinh in a five-part spy action series.

In the third episode, Priyanka's character is in a scene with a crime boss named Balduino Basto, played by Sen Monro. Richard Madden's character, Mason Kane, visits Basto in Morocco under Nadia's instructions, and she is speaking to him through an earpiece. Basto is asked for help in breaking into the office of the armed forces chief, to which he quickly responds, "The chief of the armed forces? You might as well have asked me how to get between the legs of the Duchess of Cambridge!"

Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' remake seemingly takes a dig at Kate Middleton

'OK, definitely not Catherine'

It was recently claimed that the new live-action remake of the Disney movie 'The Little Mermaid' includes a scene with a reference to the Duchess of Sussex's sister-in-law. In one of the scenes where Ariel and Prince Eric meet, he tries to guess her name since she has lost her voice after reaching the surface. A reviewer noticed, "His first guess is Diana. His second guess is Catherine, but after [Ariel gives a disgusted] reaction, he [concludes], 'OK, definitely not Catherine.' Disney would be disingenuous to imply that these name choices were coincidental." Interestingly, Diana is the name of Prince Harry's mother, and Catherine is the complete name of The Princess of Wales, usually referred to as simply 'Kate.'

'Meghan is an important influencer'

Priyanka Chopra has openly supported Meghan Markle on several occasions in the past. She stated, "More than anything else, Meghan is an important influencer in a world that needs strong public figures to respect and look up to. People in the world can be inspired by Meghan, standing shoulder to shoulder with Harry, [she] will be a princess for the people." The latest controversy surrounding the show 'Citadel,' in which Priyanka is involved as a former UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, has sparked interest among fans, leading to various reactions from all over.

'Omg this is awful'

One fan said, "She is the one who also turned her back on Catherine in a scarf-type way... She will regret this ..... When Catherine is Queen and there are no invites to any events, listers will be screaming for invites. Karma baby." The second wrote in Kate's support, "When brilliant women shine the ones that are frustrated and unhappy gossip showing us their envy. Catherine is thriving and living her best life." Another slammed Amazon for keeping the scene, "Omg this is awful and so disrespectful! Shame on Amazon for thinking this was ok 😡😡😡😡"

"The Princess of Wales has more important things to do than worry about what these two shrimps think of her. Catherine’s the real deal and they know it," said another user. A fan of royals simply wrote, "They are so jealous of Catherine they can’t stand it."
