4 year oldPrince Harry and Meghan Markle have been living in a luxury Beverly Hills mansion belonging to Hollywood tycoon Tyler Perry, it has been claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, along with their one-year-old son Archie, have called the $US18 million ($A27.6 million) pad home since moving to LA at the end of March, reported the Sun.
The couple have never been seen in public with actor Perry – best known for his portrayal of comedy character Madea, a tough, elderly African-American woman.
But they are believed to have met him through their mutual close friend Oprah Winfrey.

Perry’s eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom Tuscan-style villa sits on 22 acres on the top of a hill in the ultra-exclusive Beverly Ridge Estates guard-gated community.
It is not known whether the royals are renting Tyler’s property or staying there as guests, but there is no record of the mansion having been sold.
They had been living in Canada in a waterfront home in Vancouver Island when they announced they were stepping down from their royal duties in January.
But they moved to California from Canada after the country announced it would be restricting its borders due to the coronavirus crisis.

Meghan, 38, and Harry, 35, have only been spotted a couple of times since their move to LA.
They volunteered for a local charity dropping off food to those who are at a high risk of catching coronavirus, and they were also spotted taking their beloved dogs out for a walk.
A source told the Mail Online: “Meghan and Harry have been extremely cautious to keep their base in LA under wraps.
“They have been at this property for a month without anyone finding out.”
Both the Sussexes and Perry consider legendary talk show host Oprah their Hollywood mentor.
Oprah is even godmother to Perry’s five-year-old son Aman, and was seen at the house Meghan and Harry are now staying at for the boy’s christening celebrations in 2015.
