Tyler Perry Shuts Down Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Question With Blunt Remark

Tyler Perry was recently asked about his friendship with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, whom he supported during their 2020 royal exit.

Despite media curiosity, the famous director avoided detailed discussions about their relationship, emphasizing privacy.

Tyler Perry, however, praised Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bond, describing it as "real and beautiful."

Tyler Perry Remains Tight-Lipped About Supporting Prince Harry And Meghan

In an interview with the Sunday Times, Perry chose to remain tight-lipped about the assistance he provided to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry during their high-profile departure from the royal family in 2020.

At the time, the director offered the Duke and Duchess of Sussex his California home, a private jet, and security support as they transitioned from royal life.

However, when asked at an event if he helped the couple settle in, Perry replied, "I didn't need to. Meghan is from California. She knows California well. So there was nothing to prepare them for."

The interview reportedly became less open when the conversation turned to Meghan, with Perry noticeably reluctant to discuss their friendship.

"I will say this," he said. "What I learnt about mentioning them — because there's this insatiable appetite to know all about them — is that any question that is asked becomes the headline of anything I say."

Tyler Perry Says He's 'Not Paying Attention To That World'

When Perry was asked why Meghan and Harry generated so much public curiosity, the filmmaker retorted, "You're from the UK, you tell me."

He remained unfazed after the interviewer noted that the fascination extends to the U.S.

"You would know better than I would because I'm not paying attention to that world," Perry replied, signaling an end to the topic with, "Next scene."

In a November 2023 episode of the "Let's Talk Off Camera" podcast, Perry revealed how he worked to protect Meghan and Harry's privacy while they stayed in his mansion for four months before purchasing their $14 million Montecito home.

According to Page Six, he admitted to monitoring daily media headlines to ensure paparazzi hadn't discovered their location.

Additionally, in their December 2022 Netflix documentary, Harry and Meghan disclosed they hadn't met Perry before moving into his $18 million Beverly Hills estate.

Reflecting on the move, Meghan said, "I was a wreck, just crying and crying. Sometimes, it's easier to open up to someone who knows nothing at all, and that was that moment with me and Tyler."

She described their temporary refuge as "bliss because no one knew we were there."
