Meghan Markle and Rihanna Have Reportedly Bonded and Become Good Friends
Meghan Markle and Rihanna are reportedly friends. The pair, who were apparently introduced by Prince Harry, have bonded over their mutual love of privacy.
Who do you befriend when you're an uber-famous royal? Who could possible get you? How about, idk, a world-famous pop star who dabbles in acting and moonlights as the best thing about the Met Gala every year?
Yeah, that could work.
Meghan Markle apparently agrees because she's struck up quite the friendship with Rihanna, according to an "insider" who dished about the BFF-ship to Radar Online. Per said anonymous source:
"They actually have a lot in common in terms of style and a shared need for total privacy in their lives. They’ve bumped into each other a few times before Meghan was super famous and have a few mutual acquaintances on the Hollywood social scene who’ve put them in touch again recently."
Of course, Meghan and Rihanna have another, non-Hollywood connection in the form of Prince Harry, who met (and hit it off with) Rihanna during his royal tour of Barbados in 2016.
Receipts:
Apparently, hanging with Rihanna is high on Meghan's to-do list. Maybe Harry (and Archie) can come too.
