It has just been revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are living in a luxury $18 million mansion in Beverly Hills, California that is owned by A-list filmmaker and actor Tyler Perry. And the couple has Oprah Winfrey to thank for their ritzy, private pad.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Move Into Ritzy A-Lister Mansion
Sources told Daily Mail that Harry and Meghan have been living in the mansion with their one year-old son Archie since the end of March. Their swanky digs are thanks to a deal that was facilitated by Oprah Winfrey, a mutual friend of the couple and Tyler Perry.
Located in the ultra-exclusive Beverly Ridge Estates guard-gated community, Perry’s mansion is an eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom Tuscan-style villa that sits on 22 acres at the top of a hill.

Harry, Meghan, and Perry all consider Oprah Winfrey to be their Hollywood mentor, and she is even godmother to Archie.
The royals are currently working on a documentary with Oprah, while Perry has worked with her OWN television in the past.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Tried To Keep Their Location Secret
Sources have indicated that Harry and Meghan likely will not be happy that the secret of where they are staying is out.
“Meghan and Harry have been extremely cautious to keep their base in LA under wraps,” a source close to them said. “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.
“Beverly Ridge is an excellent place to keep out of view. The neighbors are mostly old money and mega rich business types rather than show business gossips,” the insider continued. “It goes without saying that the location is stunning – just one of the most beautiful and desirable areas in L.A.”
Top Hollywood real estate agent Rochelle Maize of the Nourmand & Associates made it clear just how exclusive Beverly Ridge really is.
“Beverly Ridge Estates has just 14 homes but is very prestigious and chic,” she said. “There are not many rentals on offer there because of the limited number of properties. Leases start at around $20,000 and can go up to $40,000 a month. It costs around $16 million to buy a property there.”
Tyler Perry Voices Support For Meghan
Perry has previously voiced his support for Meghan, most notably when she became emotional in Africa during an interview with ITV news presenter Tom Bradby
“Remember when Meghan Markle did that interview? She said ”Thanks for asking if I’m okay. Because no one ever asks me that,'” Perry stated. “I felt her when she said that. People toss it out. ”How are you doing?” But not many people really mean it. Or pay attention to the answer.”
After stepping down as senior members of the royal family earlier this year, Harry and Meghan first moved to Vancouver, Canada before moving back to her hometown of LA.
Meghan seems eager to resume the acting career that she left behind when she married Harry. Case in point, she has already seemingly launched her comeback by narrating the Disney documentary Elephants.
