Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have landed in a ‘lose-lose situation’ after Derek Dixon sued their friend Tyler Perry.

Perry is godfather to Meghan Markle and Harry’s daughter Princess Lilibet, who turned four earlier this month.

The royal couple have not given a public statement yet over the scandal.

Commenting on Meghan and Harry’s silence, royal expert Hilary Fordwich tells Fox News Digital, “Instead of offering their stalwart support as good friends would who even lived in his home, this silence is a clear demonstration of… a total lack of moral courage.”

The expert warned, “Their silence to avoid entanglement in a scandal, especially given their precarious standing in both Hollywood and royal circles, won’t look good in the long run.”

“Harry and Meghan are in a lose-lose situation. Keeping their distance has backfired either way. If Tyler Perry is exonerated, their lack of support will be seen as a betrayal, further damaging their credibility among friends and potential allies alike. If allegations against Tyler Perry are proven, distancing themselves to protect their brand will still appear opportunistic and ungrateful.”

Another royal expert Kinsey Schofield says, “Tyler Perry put himself out there and was one of the few A-listers who fiercely defended the Sussexes.”

“To quote Prince Harry from his January 2023 interview with Anderson Cooper on ‘60 Minutes,’ ‘Silence is betrayal.’ I imagine Tyler Perry would appreciate any backup at this point.”

Kinsey Schofield claims, “Harry and Meghan’s silence looks completely self-serving.”
