Tyler Perry's icy response when asked about role in Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's LA move earns praise
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found a loyal ally in Tyler Perry, who is keeping their private matters under wraps.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, the filmmaker gave a chilly response when asked about lending his $18 million Los Angeles mansion to the couple following their departure from the royal family in 2020.
Perry grew increasingly tense with the interviewers as they pressed him further about the couple’s social lives, ultimately delivering a sharp rebuttal to their questioning.

When Tyler Perry, the godfather of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's three-year-old daughter, Lilibet, was asked about how he helped the couple prepare for their new life in California, he bluntly replied, "I didn't."
He went on to explain, "Meghan is from California. She knows California well. So there was nothing to prepare them for."
It’s important to note that Perry and Meghan had not met in 2020 when the couple stepped away from the royal family, but they have since become close friends.
Perry then criticized the media's obsession with the couple, saying, "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."
When asked why the public's interest in Harry and Meghan is so relentless, Perry shot back, "You’re from the UK, you tell me," as per the Daily Mail.
He followed up with another jab when reminded that similar headlines exist across the pond, responding, "You think? Well, you would know better than I would because I’m not paying attention to that world."
The conversation ended abruptly as the interview moved on, with Perry showing no interest in further discussing the couple's personal life.
