After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry chose to establish their family home in the United States rather than the United Kingdom, royal connections started facing the edge of severe vulnerability. So much so that the shade of these backlashes also did not fall short on their children. Eventually, the strains also confronted some of their personal connections, especially with Prince Archie’s godfather.

Shortly after being snubbed from the royal Christmas celebrations, the Sussex couple were in the face of another exclusion. This time it was from Prince Archie’s godfather. But who exactly is Prince Archie’s godfather?

Prince Archie’s Godfather and their recent conflict

Inheriting the royal legacy, Prince Archie has a godfather whose name carries as much weight as that of his bloodline. Prince Harry and Prince Williams’s longtime friend, Hugh Grosvenor, the 7th Duke of Westminster, heralded his position as Prince Archie and Prince George of Wales’s godparent after their birth. But the relationship goes beyond that. He is also the godson of King Charles while his mother is the godmother of Prince Williams.

Grosvenor inherited his title and the Grosvenor estate following his father’s demise. Presently reigning an estimated $11 billion net worth, the Duke is also getting ready to tie the knot with Olivia Grace Henson. However, the childhood alliance between Grosvenor and Prince Harry seems a little foggy ever since he and Markle were omitted from the wedding guest list. Although the reason for the distance was pointing fingers “to avoid a family clash”, the exclusion was nevertheless, conflicting.

Now that much has been clear regarding Prince Archie’s godfather owing to the recent headlines, here are some less-known facts about Princess Lilibet’s godparent.

Who is Princess Lilibet’s godfather?

After the Sussex couple left UK soil to settle in the United States, the actor and filmmaker, Tyler Perry, lent his Los Angeles home to them. But Perry’s contribution to the royal household was never limited to that. After Princess Lilibet was born, the Duke and the Duchess enlisted Perry as the godparent to the two-year-old. The same was also confirmed by him in the final episode of Harry and Meghan. 

Furthermore, in an interview with Let’s Talk-Off-Camera with Kelly Ripa podcast, Perry also revealed a cute nickname that he refers to her, “Little Lili.”. Perry also admitted how he “wanted to be a safe place” for the Sussex couple. He was also one of the numbered guests who attended Princess Lilibet’s christening. Currently, Tyler Perry appears to claim the accolade of being a loyal godparent, given his constant support to the pair, in contrast to the Duke of Westminster.
