Inside Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s LA home, which Tyler Perry decorated with grecian pillars & a sprawling terrace
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry are believed to be staying at producer Tyler Perry’s swanky £15million home in LA – and from photos on his Instagram, the pad looks jaw-dropping.
The millionaire comedian has frequently showed off his Beverly Hills house on social media, and it could show how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now living.
The couple are currently self-isolating in LA with baby Archie, after stepping down as senior royals earlier this year.
They will certainly be living in the lap of luxury if they are locked down at 50-year-old Tyler’s eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom villa, which sits 22 acres at the top of a guard-gated community.
The Tuscan-style villa offers spectacular, sweeping views of the city from their ultra-exclusive neighbourhood.
And inside, the home is kitted out with all the amenities any A-lister could crave, including a Grecian spa-style bathroom with white pillars and a sunken bath.
There is also a spacious kitchen with a marble island that looks perfect for foodie Meghan to whip up some meals for her small family.
Tyler shared a photo in June 2013 of his “back deck”, and the stunning outdoor terrace comes with a snug seating area, cushions and an al fresco rug – ideal for viewing the breathtaking skyline.
Perfect for one-year-old Archie, the home also has a ready-made nursery.
Tyler posted a photo in January 2015 of his son Aman’s nursery, which came with a white cot with a musical mobile, along with comfy armchair and a small dressing table.
The Sussex couple could also be planning their first ventures after stepping down as royals in Tyler’s large study.
In 2014, the actor posted a photo of his workspace, which had impressive mahogany doors, a fireplace, a leather chair and a heavy set desk.
And the young family could be unwinding in lockdown in the stunning lounge that Tyler shared a photo of in 2012.
His living was decorated for Christmas, and had floor-to-ceiling windows and an open plan seating area which led into a large dining room.
Meghan and Harry reportedly flew on Tyler’s £120m private jet to move into his Beverly Hills mega-mansion in March.
Insiders told the Daily Mail: “It was a well-planned operation that appears to have worked perfectly” – allowing the couple to avoid any type of wait at customs.
It is unknown whether the couple are renting or staying there as guests, but there is no record of the mansion having been sold.
“Meghan and Harry have been extremely cautious to keep their base in LA under wraps,” a source told the Daily Mail.
The source added: “Their team helped them choose the location for their transition to Los Angeles wisely.
“Beverly Ridge has its own guarded gate and Tyler’s property has a gate of its own which is watched by their security team.”
Both the Sussexes and Tyler consider legendary talk show host Oprah their Hollywood mentor.
Oprah is even godson to Tyler’s five-year-old son Aman, and was seen at the house Meghan and Harry are now staying at for the little boys’ christening party back in 2015.
Aerial photographs reveal the couple’s A-list neighbours – with red carpet stars such as Katy Perry, Jennifer Lawrence and Sir Elton John.
Last month, Harry’s friend Dr Jane Goodall said she has been in touch with the duke after he quit royal duties to move to Canada then LA and said he was finding it “challenging.”
Dr Goodall told the Radio Times: “I don’t know how his career is going to map out, but, yes, I’ve been in touch – though I think he’s finding life a bit challenging right now.”
We last got a glimpse of the family on Archie’s May 6 birthday, where he was seen in a video being read a children’s book by mum Meghan.
