Just In: Meghan Markle’s friend Tyler Perry’s ‘tense response’ when asked about the Sussexes…..See more

Tyler Perry recently spoke about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during an interview with The Sunday Times.

Meghan Markle’s friend Tyler Perry gave a tense response when asked about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during a recent interview.

Described by the Sunday Times as one of the “most powerful people in the film and television industry”, the 55-year-old famously lent his Californian home to Meghan and Harry following their move to the US in 2020.

It remains unknown whether he knew the pair at the time but they have reportedly grown closer ever since, with Tyler now godfather to their three-year-old daughter Lilibet.

When asked in the interview how he prepared Meghan and Harry for their move to America, he replied, “I didn’t.”

The film mogel then added: “Meghan is from California. She knows California well. So there was nothing to prepare them for.

But I will say this: 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.”

Stating that he doesn’t pay attention to the media, Tyler was then asked why the news about Meghan and Harry was so “insatiable”. He added: “You’re from the UK, you tell me.”

The publication then stated that, during their chat with Tyler, it was “clearly time to cut to the next scene” as he was not in the mood to discuss his relationship with Meghan.

Meghan and Tyler’s friendship was, however, on clear display last week as the 43-year-old supported him at The Paley Honors gala in Beverly Hills.
