Harry, Meghan and Tyler’s special relationship

Harry and Meghan stayed at Tyler’s $15 million mansion in LA when they first moved to the US in 2020, and even asked the Hollywood mogul to be their daughter Lilibet’s godfather.

 On Meghan’s birthday in August 2022, Tyler paid a heartfelt tribute to her on social media. The actor shared a special photo of the mother-of-two whilst on a visit to South Africa in 2019, where the Duchess can be seen in the snap crouching down whilst kissing the hand of a little girl. Typer captioned the shot: “I’ve had a front row seat in your life for the past few years. I’ve watched you endure things that would have broken a lot of people. I’m so incredibly proud to see how happy you, your husband, and your kids are now. It fills me with joy to say Happy Birthday Princess Meghan.”

During Meghan and Harry’s infamous interview with Oprah in 2021, Meghan explained that Tyler had also offered his “security” while they were staying there after their UK taxpayer-funded protection was removed in line with their decision to step down as senior royals.
