Tyler Perry recently shared a brief yet touching response when asked about his bond with Meghan Markle.
The billionaire generously opened his Los Angeles mansion to Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, back in 2020.
This kind act came after the couple stepped away from their royal duties and sought a peaceful refuge.
The 55-year-old Hollywood mogul offered his luxurious $18 million home to the royal duo and their children. This offer was made even before Perry and Markle had met face-to-face, highlighting the genuine warmth of this gesture.
Fast forward to today, and Perry holds a special place in their family as the godfather to their daughter, Lilibet.
When Perry was interviewed by the Sunday Times about helping the couple settle into their new life in the United States, his response was simple: ‘I didn’t.’
Perry elaborated on his succinct answer by explaining, ‘Meghan is from California. She’s well-acquainted with the area, so there wasn’t anything necessary to prepare them for.
However, I’ve learned that mentioning them always catches immense public interest, and every question about them seems to dominate headlines.’ This reveals Perry’s understanding of the media’s intense curiosity surrounding the couple’s lives.
When probed about the media’s ‘insatiable appetite’ for news about Harry and Meghan, Perry humorously turned the question back to the interviewer, quipping, ‘You’re from the UK, you tell me.’
The interviewer countered that headlines about the illustrious couple are equally popular in the U.S. To this, Perry responded, ‘You think? Well, you would know better than I would because I’m not paying attention to that world.’
Through this exchange, Perry displays both his humor and his thoughtful detachment from the frenzy of global media focus.
Perry’s involvement with the couple sheds light on the real friendships behind their public personas and his unwavering support during a critical time in their lives.
His gesture not only offered them a physical haven but also underscored the importance of compassion and generosity in relationships.
