Over the weekend, Times reported that the Duchess of Sussex had signed a deal with Disney to do a voiceover in return for a donation to Elephants Without Borders, an organisation that protects the animals from poachers.
Recently a video of Prince Harry pitching his wife, Meghan’s voiceover skills to Bob Iger, Disney’s CEO at the London premiere of The Lion King back in July is all over the internet.
In the video Harry said;
“You know she does voiceovers?” while gesturing towards Meghan, who is stood next to him in conversation with Beyonce and Jay-Z. “Oh really? I did not know that,” the Disney chief replies. “You seem surprised,” Harry responds, before adding: “But yeah, she’s really interested.” “Sure, we’d love to try.”Mr Iger tells Harry
This deal was asssumed to be signed before the Sussex’s announced last week that they planned to step back as senior members of the royal family, and become financially independent.
After the Crisis meeting summoned by the Queen at Sandringham on Monday, Buckingham Palace released a statement. It read:
“Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family. My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family. Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family.Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives. It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK. These are complex matters for my family to resolve, and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked for final decisions to be reached in the coming days.”
The meeting was attended by the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry,
