One of Meghan Markle’s close pals was seen laughing during Chris Rock’s Netflix special on Saturday night (March 4) where he slammed her for claiming the Royal Family was racist.
Janina Gavankar, 42, who is one of Meghan’s oldest friends, attended the recording of Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, in Baltimore, US and viewed it from the VIP Green Room.
During the show Rock, 58, cracked several jokes about Meghan and Harry, including ones about their Oprah Winfrey interview, which aired in March 2021 – during which they alleged Royal Family members were racist towards her.

The funny-man joked about their allegation that a royal questioned “how dark” the skin of their unborn child might be, saying she was “acting all dumb”.
Rock said: “Who is this girl Meghan Markle? Seems like a nice lady – just complaining. Like, didn’t she hit the light-skinned lottery?
“I’m like, ‘What the f**k is she talking about? They’re so racist, they wanted to know how brown the baby was going to be,’ I’m like, ‘That’s not racist,’ cause even black people want to know how brown the baby gonna be. S**t. We check behind the ears.

“[She was] going on Oprah [and] saying, ‘I had no idea how racist they were.’ That’s the Royal Family, you didn’t Google those motherf**kers? They’re the original racists. They invented colonialism. They invested in slavery like it was Shark Tank.”
Rock also claimed to know what Markle was “going through”, saying: “I know her dilemma: black girl trying to be accepted by her white in-laws.

“Oh, it’s hard. It’s so hard, it’s very hard – but it ain’t as hard as a white girl trying to be accepted by her black in-laws. Now that s*** is really hard.”
“Meghan Markle, I know the dilemma. I’m like, ‘If you black and you wanted to be accepted by your white in-laws then you need to marry a Kardashian because they accept everybody.’”
