Tyler Perry reveals his reactions when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle asked him to be their daughter’s Godfather (video)

Tyler Perry shared his reaction after being approached by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to serve as the godfather of their daughter, Lilibet Diana.

In the final episode of the Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” the 53-year-old filmmaker revealed that the royal couple made the request over a phone call in 2021.

According to Perry, their conversation was notably serious, unlike their usual lighthearted chats. He expressed his initial shock and later conveyed his deep sense of honor at the prospect.

Upon reflection, Perry realized the potential implications of accepting the role, particularly if it involved traveling to the UK and participating in royal family-related church ceremonies. Subsequently, he emphasized his preference for a private ceremony in the US if such events were necessary.

Earlier in the same episode, Perry recounted his initial interaction with Meghan, having reached out to offer support amid the public scrutiny and strain in her relationship with her father, Thomas Markle.

He empathized with Meghan’s predicament and shared a sense of validation for her feelings, acknowledging the challenges she had faced. He also highlighted his observations of potential abuse and related them to his own experiences witnessing abuse.

Moreover, the episode touched upon the period when Prince Harry and Meghan sought refuge after leaving the royal family, with Perry extending his property in Los Angeles, California for them to stay. This gesture provided them a peaceful sanctuary during the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.
