Priyanka Chopra is "really excited" about the Duchess of Sussex's baby news

Priyanka told People: "I would, as a friend, just say that I'm really excited for her.

"I think this is a new phase in every woman's life, and I hope hers is as amazing as she wants it to be."

Priyanka previously praised the Duchess for how she's taken to life as a member of the British royal family.

The 'Baywatch' actress also revealed that their friendship hasn't changed in light of the Duchess' new status.

She said: "I think friendships depend on people individually and how personal your relationship is.

"You can have work friendships, those are different. But when you have real friendships, like ours, it doesn't matter what people look at you as or where your world goes, you sort of just, stay friends. And I think that's what we're like."

Meanwhile, Priyanka recently hinted she wants to start a family with Nick Jonas.

The 'Quantico' star - who is engaged to Nick - revealed she feels under pressure to "catch up" with all of her friends, including the Duchess.

She said: "I just have a few of my friends who are having babies right now and I'm like, 'God I need to catch up!'"

A source has also claimed that Priyanka and Nick are ready to tie the knot "'sooner than later''.

The insider shared: "Priyanka has already been planning the wedding for a couple of months now and is excited to call Nick her husband one day.

''Priyanka and Nick are on the same page about wanting to get married earlier rather than later, and are telling friends it will most likely be next year.''
