Perry affectionately referred to Lilibet as "little Lily" and couldn't help but express his admiration for her. He described her as "so adorable" and marveled at her beauty, saying, "Oh, she's so beautiful, she's just so beautiful. They make beautiful babies, that's all I'll say." Perry continued to shower praise on Archie and Lilibet's looks, emphasizing their beauty, which left some listeners questioning if he had ever truly spent time with them. The effusive praise seemed to border on exaggeration, leading to speculations about the depth of his relationship with the royal children.
Perry's surprise at being asked to be Lilibet's godfather was also a topic of discussion. He shared that Megan and Prince Harry approached him about the role during a phone call that initially caught him off guard. After taking a moment to process the request, Perry graciously accepted the honor. However, he later realized that there might be some expectations related to royal traditions and ceremonies.
He recounted his response, saying, "I called them back and I go, 'Hang on a minute, does this mean we've got to go over to the UK and do all of that, you know, church thing with the royal family and figure all of that out?' Because I don't want to do that. Maybe we can do a little private ceremony here in the United States, and let that be that, and if you have to do it there, then that's okay."
Interestingly, the revelation of Tyler Perry becoming Lilibet's godfather raised eyebrows and fueled rumors. Some speculated that Meghan Markle may have discovered something concerning Perry that he would prefer to keep hidden. Allegations even surfaced that Meghan might be using this information as leverage against him.
During the podcast, Perry also touched on his role as a supportive friend to Meghan Markle during her transition into a life in the public eye following her relationship with Prince Harry. He empathized with her sense of isolation and the overwhelming nature of her new reality. Perry aimed to provide a safe haven for Meghan and acknowledged her incredible journey into a world where every aspect of her life became a spectacle.
Contrary to rumors that Oprah Winfrey introduced them, Perry revealed that he reached out to Meghan with a heartfelt note, without Oprah's knowledge, as they once shared a publicist. This act of kindness was his way of offering support to someone navigating the challenges of fame and royal association.
