Tyler Perry’s Grand Gesture: Gospel Choir Flies to Lilibet’s Christening

Tyler Perry, the renowned American filmmaker, made a grand gesture by flying out a large choir to attend the christening of Princess Lilibet at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's California home on March 8, 2023.

The 53-year-old filmmaker was accompanied by the Duchess Mother Doria Ragland and an unnamed godmother at the event.

A spokesperson for the Sussexes confirmed that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3rd, by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, Rev.

John Taylor.

Perry, known for his generosity and flair for dramatic gestures, also arranged for a 10-person gospel choir from Atlanta to perform at the christening ceremony.

According to a source, the choir delivered soul-stirring performances of “Oh Happy Day” and “This Little Light of Mine.”

Notably, a gospel choir had previously graced Harry and Meghan's wedding in 2018, adding a touch of spiritual essence to the occasion.

However, the leader of the choir, Karen Gibson, revealed that their experience at Lilibet's baptism was not as expected.

They were surprised when they did not catch a glimpse of Lilibet and only saw Meghan anxiously pacing and reprimanding the staff for being late.

This unexpected turn of events led to doubts among the choir members, with some questioning the authenticity of Lilibet's existence.

The speculation arose from the notion of how a silicone doll could be christened, raising eyebrows and casting a shadow of doubt over the royal event.

Moreover, there are lingering uncertainties surrounding the royal family's interactions with Lilibet and her sibling, Lilybux.

Speculations suggest that Lily might be Hartford Schroeder, with mysterious circumstances surrounding her birth and custody.

Reports hint at the involvement of a doctor in Montecito who abruptly ceased her practice, adding a layer of intrigue to the already enigmatic situation.

Following the christening ceremony, Perry and the choir departed after a brief two-hour visit, during which they took photos and sealed a deal with Sony Music UK.

Perry's role as Lilibet's godfather, appointed shortly after her birth in June 2021, underscores his close relationship with the Sussexes.

His recent visit to their Montecito mansion reaffirmed his commitment to the family, as he continues to play a significant role in Lilibet's life.

In a surprising turn of events, Tyler Perry's aspirations to acquire BET network were thwarted as Paramount, the key decision-maker in the sale, opted not to proceed with the transaction.

Sources disclosed that Paramount communicated this decision to potential bidders, including Perry, earlier this week.

The BET network, known for its promotion of black representation and storytelling, holds immense cultural significance in the entertainment industry.

Tyler Perry's legacy in entertainment, marked by successful shows like “Sistas” and “The Oval,” exemplifies his dedication to diverse storytelling.

Despite the setback in acquiring BET, Perry's contributions to the entertainment landscape remain unparalleled.

His Tyler Perry Studios, based in metro Atlanta, stands as a testament to his creative vision and commitment to fostering inclusive narratives within the industry.
