American actor and movie director Tyler Perry has played a significant role in the lives of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as he is credited with coming to their rescue during a challenging time.
When the couple fled Canada in March 2020, Perry graciously allowed them to stay in his luxurious California mansion while they searched for a place of their own.
In his recently published book, Harry reveals an interesting detail about their stay at Perry’s mansion.
He admits that while Meghan and their son Archie were peacefully asleep, he would take the opportunity to roll a joint.
The house, which Harry describes as “Sanadu,” provided a tranquil setting for him to unwind.
However, despite the serene atmosphere, Harry couldn’t help but have security concerns.
He found himself patrolling the house late at night, ensuring all doors and windows were secure before finding solace on the balcony or in the garden, indulging in his joint.
The view from the house, overlooking a valley and a hillside filled with croaking frogs, reminded him of his time in Botswana, evoking a sense of nostalgia.
It is worth noting that the recreational use of cannabis is legal in California for individuals over the age of 21.
Surprisingly, Perry has remained silent on the matter, refraining from expressing any controversial opinions, despite previously defending the Sussexes.
Rumors had circulated that Perry had kicked Harry and Meghan out of his mansion.
However, in a Netflix documentary, the couple admitted that they had never even met the Hollywood mogul prior to seeking refuge in his home.
Markle recalls receiving a letter from Perry, assuring her that he would always be there for her if she needed anything.
The Netflix clip showing Harry and Perry together on the mansion grounds led some to criticize the prince, perceiving him as privileged and entitled.
It seemed as though he was acting as an immigrant seeking safety while expecting and demanding the exclusive refuge that only the wealthiest 1% can enjoy in California.
The idea that he believed it was his birthright to stay in an $18 million home with his 13 suitcases for recuperation sparked controversy.
There have been rumors circulating about Perry’s dissatisfaction with Markle, accusing her of mistreating his staff.
According to an unnamed source, Meghan allegedly threw an elderly maid into a pool, which enraged Perry upon hearing about it.
These were his trusted staff members whom Meghan mistreated, not her own employees.
It is important to note that mistreatment of any kind is never justified, regardless of one’s status or position.
Reports suggest that Tyler Perry urged Oprah Winfrey to intervene and remove the couple from his house immediately.
Perry was out of town at the time, so Oprah had to step in and relocate the couple to one of her own guest cottages.
Perry, known for treating his staff well, couldn’t bear to see Meghan being cruel and causing harm to people he cared about.
It is worth mentioning that Oprah was aware of Meghan’s behavior during her stay at Perry’s home.
Remember how Meghan emphasized her desire for privacy?
Well, apparently, she went as far as installing a plastic fence around Tyler’s property.
This action raises eyebrows and speaks volumes about Meghan’s character.
