MEGHAN MARKLE WILL MAKE HER COMEBACK TO THE WORLD OF SHOW BUSINESS AS A NARRATOR FOR A DISNEY FILM

Meghan Markle will be providing the voiceover for a Disney documentary about elephants in what will be her first post-royal gig. The Twitter account for Disney Nature confirmed Meghan’s addition to the documentary while promoting the release of Elephant and a second movie, Dolphin Reef, narrated by Natalie Portman.

The film, called Elephant, will be available on Disney+ from April 3.

Earlier this year it was revealed that Meghan had signed a voiceover deal with Disney in return for a donation to wildlife charity, Elephants Without Borders. She is believed to have recorded the voiceover before she and Prince Harry left for their six-week Christmas break in Canada at the end of last year.

The deal, which will benefit the conservation charity Elephants Without Borders, was signed before the recent uproar over Markle and husband Prince Harry’s plans to disengage from the Royal Family and pursue other opportunities.

The voiceover deal may be a prelude to future endeavours for the family, which has trademarked the Sussex Royal brand name.

“Elephant, narrated by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, follows one family’s extraordinary 1,000-mile journey across Africa on an adventure that will change their lives,” the narrator says in the clip.

The Disney nature documentary will benefit wildlife organisation Elephants Without Borders (EWB), a charity that both Meghan and Prince Harry have worked with before.
