- [Announcer] Today in,
"okay, so that's a thing",

2
00:00:02.460 --> 00:00:04.560
we learned that Tyler Perry is godfather

3
00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:07.710
to Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle's daughter, Lilibet Diana.

4
00:00:07.710 --> 00:00:09.450
Perry discussed his close relationship

5
00:00:09.450 --> 00:00:10.980
with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle,

6
00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:13.297
and their kids in the new
Netflix documentary series

7
00:00:13.297 --> 00:00:14.580
"Harry and Meghan".

8
00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:16.320
Perry's friendship with Megan began

9
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.030
after he sent a letter
ahead of her wedding

10
00:00:18.030 --> 00:00:19.627
expressing sympathy amid the quote,

11
00:00:19.627 --> 00:00:21.390
"hurtful controversy" between Meghan

12
00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:22.890
and her dad, Thomas Markle.

13
00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:25.470
Perry accepted the offer to
become Lilibet's godfather,

14
00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:26.640
but under one condition.

15
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.977
He didn't wanna fly across the
pond for it, saying, quote,

16
00:00:29.977 --> 00:00:32.130
"Does this mean we gotta go over to the UK

17
00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:34.290
and do all of that in
church with the royal family

18
00:00:34.290 --> 00:00:35.460
and figure all that out?

19
00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:36.930
'Cause I don't want to do that."

20
00:00:36.930 --> 00:00:39.540
Adding, "maybe we can do a
little private ceremony here

21
00:00:39.540 --> 00:00:41.190
in the US and let that be that.

22
00:00:41.190 --> 00:00:43.860
And if you have to do it
there, then that's okay."

23
00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:45.480
