One of the more surprising revelations made during the new Harry & Meghan docuseries involves none other than Tyler Perry, and you won’t believe why. The 53-year-old director talked about his friendship with the Royal family and his function as godfather to their youngest child.
The two first spoke in 2018 when Perry sent Markle a letter in which she prayed for her as she got ready to wed the love of her life in the midst of all the controversy surrounding her father, Thomas Markle. Perry claimed in the documentary series that he “instantly empathized” with some of Meghan’s circumstances at the time.
A few years later, the two first communicated by phone, during which Meghan sobbed as she discussed how the media had treated her. “It pained to tell Meghan that I agreed with her viewpoints. She shouldn’t feel that way, and I didn’t want to have to tell her that. I didn’t want to lie to her, though,” Perry said.
To attempt to do everything a harasser would do while using the institution, such as saying, “Here’s what we’re going to do: we’re going to cut off the money, we’re not going to leave you security, we’re going to do everything to make you conform and come back,” Perry continued by saying that the Palace had “abused” the duo.
Tyler Perry developed a respect for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after they decided to remain in the country and reaffirmed their decision to abdicate their regal duties. Perry offered his Los Angeles home to a family with young children that needed a safe place to stay.
The Royal couple concurred. Harry and Meghan stayed at one of Perry’s homes during the COVID-19 outbreak and went about their daily lives away from the controversy. Harry said, “It was lovely because no one knew we were there,” and that they were able to “enjoy a small slice of normal life” while COVID was going on.
The couple first discussed Perry during their stunning interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. In the 2021 interview, Markle said, “We didn’t have a plan. ‘s”” “”””””””””””””
One of the sweetest ways two parents can thank someone for their continued friendship and earlier generosity over the past two years was Tyler Perry’s recognition. He was speechless when Harry and Meghan asked him to be the godfather of their youngest child, which is understandable considering the situation.
“Alright, what’s happening?” We want you to be Lili’s godfather, they continued. “Whoa,” I utter. I had to take a brief pause to consider that. “I would be honored,” I said. After some consideration, he called them back with a request.
When I phoned them back, I asked, “Um, wait on a second — does this mean we have to go over [to the United Kingdom] and do all of that in church with [the royal family] and work all of that out?
Because I don’t want to carry out it.
Perry said, “Maybe we can hold a small, private ceremony here [in the United States] and let that be that.
The six-episode docuseries’ first three episodes aired on December 8th, and the final three episodes were made available last week.
