Fury as drama featuring Meghan Markle’s pal makes crude sexual jibe about Kate Middleton

THE Princess of Wales is the butt of a crude sexual jibe in a new drama starring a pal of her sister-in-law Meghan.

A crime boss in Amazon Prime’s spy thriller Citadel likens breaking into an office to getting “between the legs of the Duchess of Cambridge”.

Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, 40 — who plays agent Nadia Sinh in the six-part series — has been a public supporter of Meghan, once said to have reduced Kate to tears.

The lewd reference to the former duchess, 41, was branded “outrageous” by royal expert Richard Fitzsimmons.

He told The Sun: “It is absolutely surreal that anybody would stoop to obscene comments. It’s quite extraordinary.

“I think it’s shocking. It stars Priyanka Chopra, who we know appears to be a backer of Meghan’s. Amazon must explain what obscenities to real people, to members of the royal family, are doing in their film.”

It comes after a reviewer of Disney’s new The Little Mermaid film noted an apparent dig at Kate, who became the Princess of Wales after the Queen died.

When Prince Eric tries to guess Ariel’s name, he initially opts for Diana before getting a disgusted reaction with Catherine.

The critic wrote on the New York Post’s Page Six: “Disney would be disingenuous to imply those name choices were coincidental.”

Amazon and Buckingham Palace were approached for comment.
