When Prince Harry And Meghan Markle decided to say goodbye to the royal family in 2020, Tyler Perry quickly offered his home, even though he had never met the couple before.
“I sent them a note… and just said, ‘If you ever need anything, I’m here,’ and she called months later and talked to me like I was a therapist you’re talking to, and we just had a good conversation.” the filmmaker, 54, told the host Kelly Ripa on Wednesday, November 15 episode of her “Let’s talk off camera” podcast.
Perry added that he wanted to help Harry and Meghan through a difficult time as they made the move to the United States.
“It is very important that people in this industry have a safe place to land, a place where they can trust and talk freely and get advice that is not biased or from someone who wants something from them,” he added . .
Perry sent his letter before the couple got married in 2018. Two years later, the royals announced they were stepping back as members of the royal family and would be splitting their time between the United Kingdom and North America.
In May 2020, the Made one The creator welcomed the couple and their son, Prince Archie, now 4, to his $18 million mansion in Beverly Hills.
“They hid in my house for a long time. It was so amazing,” he remembers. “They were so happy. It was such a beautiful moment,”
After six weeks at his home, Harry and Meghan announced in August 2020 that they had purchased a $14 million estate in Montecito, California.
