He is also godfather to the couple's daughter Lilibet - which royal expert Hugo Vickers believes reflects a strong friendship.
Earlier this week Tyler Perry was sued for sexual assault and harassment by fellow actor Derek Dixon, which Perry's team has denied as "a scam".
Now, royal experts believe Meghan will turn her back on her former friend amidst a sexual assault claim.
Speaking on The Sun's Royal show, expert Samara Gill has suggested that the allegations against Perry could damage the Sussexes' brand.
Samara said: "There's nothing very Christian about a sexual assault claim and I think it's just one other damaging thing to add to their now-war chest of things that have been a problem for them."
She added: "I think it shows the type of people that Meghan likes to surround herself with and I think it is damaging to their brand yet again because he was meant to be their closest friend."
Samara also pointed out that the couple had made the most of Perry's wealth - including his home, and his plane - when they left the royal family in 2020.
Now though, she thinks the couple will be keen to distance themselves from the alleged abuser.
She added: "Just watch how quickly they go."
Samara criticised the couple's hypocrisy, as they cut off toxicity "even though they're the ones who are really toxic."
It's part of a pattern of behaviour that Samara said reflects their eagerness to use people before throwing them aside.
Meghan's kids will be SO angry when they grow up & realise how they were used by her
Perry previously let the couple stay in his $18 million LA home after they left the UK in 2020.
At the time, he spoke on Today with Hoda and Jenna about his decision to let them stay at the lavish property.
Perry said: "It was a very difficult time for them. What I know about the two of them, and I wish the world knew, how much these two people love each other."
More recently, Tyler appeared in the Meghan's new Netflix show.
Earlier this week Tyler Perry was sued for sexual assault and harassment by fellow actor Derek Dixon.
The lawsuit claims $260 million in damages for harassment that occurred over several years.
Dixon alleges that Perry repeatedly sent sexually suggestive texts, despite Dixon making it clear he wasn't interested.
This later progressed to Perry groping Dixon in July 2021, the lawsuit alleges.
Finally, Dixon filed a complaint with the Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission in June 2024, before leaving his role in The Oval.
Matthew Boyd, an attorney for Perry, gave the following statement to PEOPLE.
He said: "This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam.
"But Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail."

Duchess of Sussex announces launch of own wine
New products from the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle brand have sold out in just a few hours, as she also announced she is also launching her own wine. The rose, described as having 'soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish', on her As Ever website, will be available to buy next month. The new range of food items that went on sale on Friday included a 'limited edition orange blossom honey' at a cost of 28 dollars (£20). Also available were an apricot spread in 'keepsake packaging', and a crepe mix, both £10 each, flower sprinkles for £11 and a range of different herbal teas at £9 for a box of 12 sachets. The new range went on sale at 4pm UK time, and had all sold out by just before 8pm. Meanwhile, a message on the homepage of the As Ever site read: 'Our debut Napa Valley rose is launching just in time for summer entertaining. 'With soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish, this bespoke blend is launching just in time for summer entertaining, and will be available for purchase on July 1st.' In an Instagram post at the same time as the new products went live, the California-based duchess wrote: 'Yummies, and honeys, and fruit spreads, oh my!' Meghan had promised some 'delicious surprises' as she teased, earlier this week, that she would be offering some new products on the site. She previously said the original April launch had been 'absolutely extraordinary'. But she also spoke of her fear that she annoyed customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour. She said wanted to wait until it is 'completely stable and we have everything we need'. In the run-up to her re-stock, Meghan shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: ''June gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back.' Her official As Ever account also posted: 'To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you!
