Rihanna ‘secretly becomes friends’ with Meghan Markle

Rihanna hasn’t exactly struggled to make new pals since moving to London, with reports claiming she and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, have become ‘friends’. The singer recently revealed that she is now living in London after swapping the bright lights of New York City and Los Angeles for England.

According to sources, Rihanna, and Meghan, 37, have found similar interests to bond over and both appreciate the need for maintaining privacy. It is said that, “They actually have a lot in common in terms of style and a shared need for total privacy in their lives.

It seems Rihanna has joined Meghan’s inner circle of celebrity besties, which includes Serena Williams and Priyanka Chopra, both of whom attended her and Prince Harry’s wedding in 2018.”
