Tyler Perry coldly responds when asked how he aided Meghan Markle following Megxit: ‘There was nothing to prepare them for’

Tyler Perry refused to go into detail about how he helped his pals Meghan Markle and Prince Harry amid their grand exit from the royal family in 2020.

The film producer — who previously lent the Duke and Duchess of Sussex his California mansion, private jet and security team when they fled Europe — kept his lips sealed during an interview with the Sunday Times.

When asked how he prepared the royals for their move, Perry simply responded, “I didn’t. Meghan is from California. She knows California well. So there was nothing to prepare them for.”

Per the outlet, “any conversational intimacy” evaporated when the “Madea’s Family Reunion” writer was asked and spoke about Markle, as he didn’t appear to be in the mood to discuss their friendship.

“I will say this,” he added. “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.”

Perry, 55, was then asked why people wanted to know so much about Markle, 43, and Harry, 40, to which he shot back, “You’re from the UK, you tell me.”

The interviewer pointed out that the headlines about the couple are also plentiful in America, but the filmmaker didn’t seem to care.

“You would know better than I would because I’m not paying attention to that world,” Perry added, as the outlet noted, “It’s clearly time to cut. Next scene.”

In their December 2022 Netflix documentary, the “Suits” alum and Harry revealed they never met Perry before they moved into his $18 million Beverly Hills, Calif., estate.

“I was just a wreck,” Markle shared about their move. “I was just crying and crying. Sometimes it’s easier to just open up to someone who knows nothing at all, and that was that moment with me and Tyler.”

The actress referred to their temporary living situation as a “bliss because no one knew [they] were there.”

Perry also opened up about protecting Markle and Harry’s privacy during a November 2023 appearance on the “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast, admitting he kept up with daily media headlines to ensure paparazzi hadn’t figured out where they were hiding.
