There are several parallels between the couple and one of America's richest and most controversial men, who offered up his home and security.

“If I was a white man and had done these things…they would have had a much different reaction to me,” he told the New York Times in 2019. In 2022, the same year he yucked it up with Mrs Brown in A Madea Homecoming, Perry wrote and directed A Jazzman’s Blues – a moving exploration of racial division in the American South that has been compared to Schindler’s List. He also produced the Oscar-nominated Precious in 2009 and in 2021 filmed a public information film encouraging the African American community to take the Covid vaccine. The Mrs Brown comparisons were also reflected in the reaction of critics – who derided Madea as naff, unfunny and the lowest-denominator. Perry has quietly become the first black person to own and head a major film studio. He recognised in Madea a way out of poverty. He describes her as “the PG version of my mother and my aunt, and I loved having an opportunity to pay homage to them. “I could hear the fear,” Perry tells Netflix, recalling a phone conversation with Meghan in which she broke down crying at the prospect of living in Canada without security. But there is one outsider who has gained entry to the Court of Sussexes’ inner sanctum: billionaire Tyler Perry, a self-made entertainment mogul and one of the wealthiest movie-makers in the United States. Despite his key role in one of the biggest stories to ever rock British royalty, Perry remains obscure to many outside the United States. I don’t pay attention to that stuff,” says 53-year-old Perry, who also appears in the documentary and compares the treatment of the couple to the emotional abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother growing up in Louisiana. In February 2020, the Canadian government announced it would no longer provide security for Harry and Meghan.

'And for [Harry and Meghan] to have the wherewithal to say “I don't give a damn if it's the palace. I'm outta here,” I applauded that,' said Perry in ...

During the conversation, the couple asked Perry if he wanted to be Lilibet’s godfather, to which he agreed. “Everyone’s like, ‘Tyler, how dare you compare this to the abuse of your mother?’” he continues. Perry said: “I saw my mother be abused for years. I’m outta here,” I applauded that,’ said Perry in episode six of the Netflix documentary In episode six of Harry and Meghan, Perry compared “the institution” to a “batterer” for the way the royal couple were treated. “And for the both of them to have the wherewithal to say ‘I don’t give a damn if it’s the palace.

Perry is a new addition to the second half of “Harry & Meghan,” and did not feature in the first part of the series. The ensuing relationship between the couple and Perry led to them making him Lilibet’s godfather. And that was that moment with me and Tyler.” And I couldn’t even imagine this woman finding the man that she loved, the man of her dreams, and him being a prince, and then to walk into all of that madness and need the security of family and then have your father do some horrible things.” And I was just a wreck, I was crying and crying. The filmmaker had simply reached out to Meghan after he saw negative stories in the press about [her father Thomas Markle](https://nypost.com/2022/12/08/harry-meghanshocks-nazi-shame-black-woman-royal-treatment/).

Tyler Perry is an American playwright, actor and filmmaker – and provided the Sussexes their first “slice of normal life” after leaving The Firm.

“Maybe we can do a little private ceremony here and let that be here and if you have to do it there, then that’s okay.” She apologised after critics said the brooch was racist. Perry said the note told them he was “praying for her just to be able to move through it and hold on”. Sometimes it’s easier to just open up to someone who knows nothing at all, and that was that moment with me and Tyler.” In another scene, Prince Harry can be seen saying into his phone that “this is the current situation. She said the BBC interview was “rehearsed” and that she had been told to be prepared to show off her engagement ring, while Harry described royal correspondents as “an extended PR arm of the Royal Family”. She said: “I was just crying and crying. She says in the trailer: “I wasn’t being thrown to the wolves – I was being fed to the wolves.” He also claims that someone was willing to tell lies to protect the Prince of Wales, but chose not to tell the truth to safeguard his family – Harry does not identify who he is referring to in the clip. “Perry had a difficult childhood. While he said he was “honoured” to be her godfather, he did add: “I got off the phone, took it all in and then called them back and I go, ‘Uh, hold on a second – does that mean we gotta go over there and do all of that in the church’ with [the royal family] and figure that all out, because I don’t wanna do that,” he says.

I didn't want her to feel that but I didn't want to lie to her. 'I never felt that I was loved by him. They wanted to be free to love and be happy. Perry revealed he had reached out to Meghan just before her wedding day to offer her support. And she took a deep breath and then she started listing the things that she was afraid of.'

In documentary series finale, US comedian says Duchess of Sussex unloaded problems to him.

And I got off the phone, took it all in, then I called them back, I go ‘Ah hold on a second, does this mean we got to go over there and do all of that in the church with them and figure all that out, because I don’t want to do that. Speaking in the final episode of the six-part documentary about the first time the Duchess of Sussex called him, Perry said: “I could hear the fear. “I was just crying and crying. He sent me a letter before the wedding just saying he was praying for me, and that if I ever need anything he would be there.

Meghan and Beyoncé were pictured hugging at the Lion King Premiere in 2019. I let her know everything in her life had prepared her for this moment, or so I thought.' But it wasn't until years later, when things had hit an all time low in her life. Most notably, they're both close to tennis pro Serena Williams, who Meghan first met in 2010 at the Super Bowl.

"I didn't want to have to say that to her — I didn't want her to feel that. He wrote that he was praying for her and would be there to support both of them if they needed anything. "He's like, 'You're not going to stay a week. I'm out of here.' I applauded that."
