Tyler Perry always stood up for Meghan and Prince Harry since leaving the UK. While relocating to the US, the actor was the royals’ biggest support.
Harry and Meghan and the Madea star grow close
Earlier this year, Tyler Perry shared just why he helped Harry and Meghan. In an interview, the actor shared that he could see the love between the pair and helped them during their time of need.
He added that Meghan only faced extreme hardship in the UK. As a result of the former actress being mixed race. As many may recall, Prince Harry revealed that one of the royals questioned the skin color of their second child. Under the premise of keeping the bloodline white. Prince Harry never disclosed who this was.
In the second volume of Harry and Meghan, Tyler Perry shared some detail on his relationship with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. After welcoming them into one of their homes at the time, the relationship between the group had gotten closer.

Detailing the first time the couple asked him to be the Godfather to one of their children, Tyler Perry relayed that the couple called him and “were pretty serious over the phone”. He added that they shared they would like to ask them.
He then asked, “what’s going on?” with the royals then saying “Well, we would like you to be Lily’s Godfather”. Tyler then continues to share that he said ‘whoah’ and took a minute to take it in and then responded by saying that he “would be honored”.
The actor then got off the phone with the pair and let the news sink into him. Tyler Perry then called them back to find out what this would mean in terms of having a ceremony.
He shared, “Hold on a second, does that mean we gotta over there and do all of that in the church with them and figure all that out because I don’t wanna do that? Maybe we can do a little private ceremony here and let that be that. If you have to do it over there then it’s okay.”
The second volume of Harry and Meghan is now available on Netflix.
