Tyler Perry’s Heartfelt Revelation as Godfather to Princess Lilibet
Renowned filmmaker Tyler Perry recently graced the latest episode of Let's Talk Off-Camera with Kelly Ripper podcast, shedding light on his close bond with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, along with their adorable children, 4-year-old Archie and 2-year-old Lilibet.
In a candid conversation, Ripper probed Perry about his role as the godfather to Princess Lilibet, leading to a touching revelation from the filmmaker.
Perry lovingly referred to Lilibet as Little Lily, expressing his profound admiration for her.
He couldn't contain his awe, describing her as incredibly beautiful, exclaiming, “Oh, she's so beautiful, she's just so beautiful.
They make beautiful babies.
That's all I'll say.”
Perry's effusive praise for Archie and Lilibet's appearance raised eyebrows among some listeners, prompting speculation about the authenticity of his interactions with the royal children.
The extent of his relationship with them came into question due to the fervent admiration he showered upon them during the podcast.
Furthermore, Perry's surprise at being asked to be Lily's godfather added another layer of intrigue to the discussion.
Recounting the moment when Meghan and Prince Harry approached him for the role, Perry admitted that he was initially taken aback by the request.
However, after reflecting on the honor, he graciously accepted, albeit with reservations about adhering to royal protocols.
Reflecting on the expectations tied to royal traditions, Perry humorously shared his apprehensions about potential ceremonial obligations in the UK.
He humorously recounted his response to Meghan and Harry, quipping, “I called them back, and I had to go hang on a minute.
Does this mean that we have to go over to the UK and do all of that, you know, church thing with the royal family and figure out all of that because I don't want to do that.”
Perry suggested the possibility of a private ceremony in the United States, highlighting his desire to keep the proceedings low-key.
The revelation of Tyler Perry assuming the role of Lily's godfather sparked rumors and speculations, with some insinuating ulterior motives behind Meghan Markle's decision.
Allegations surfaced suggesting that Markle might possess sensitive information about Perry, potentially leveraging it against him.
During the podcast, Perry also touched upon his supportive role in Meghan's life during her transition into the public eye post her relationship with Prince Harry.
Acknowledging the challenges of fame and scrutiny, Perry aimed to provide a sanctuary for Markle amidst the overwhelming nature of her newfound reality.
Contrary to rumors suggesting Oprah Winfrey played a pivotal role in connecting Perry with Meghan, the filmmaker clarified that he independently reached out to Markle with a heartfelt note, unbeknownst to Winfrey.
