PHOTOSPrince Harry Helped Pitch Meghan Markle’s Voiceover Work To Disney CEO In Resurfaced Video
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been looking for ways to secure the bag prior to revealing their plans to take a step back from the royal family. On Sunday, January 12, a resurfaced video circled around the internet in which Harry spoke with Disney CEO, Bob Iger, on his wife’s behalf.
While attending the Lion King premiere in July 2019, Harry, 35, could be heard explaining that Meghan, 38, has a history of doing voiceovers. “You know she does voiceovers,” Harry said to Bob, to which he replied, “Oh, really?”
“Did you know that?” Harry asked Bob. “You seem surprised.” Before ending the conversation, the two appeared to come to an understanding. “She’s really interested,” Harry said. “Sure,” Bob, 68, replied. “We’d love to try.”
According to The Times, Meghan reportedly signed a voiceover deal with Disney that will benefit the wildlife conservation charity, Elephants Without Borders. At the moment, there isn’t any other information about Meghan’s latest venture.

“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution,” they began. “We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.”
They continued, “We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”
