Prince Harry, Meghan Markle split from royal family
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are starting their new independent life after announcing they would ‘step back’ from their roles as senior members of the royal family; New York Columnist Miranda Devine reacts.
Prince Harry might have sparked Disney's interest in Meghan Markle for a voiceover deal that she recently signed.
On Saturday, it was announced that Markle, 38, had signed a deal with Disney to provide a voiceover for an upcoming project from the studio in exchange for a donation to a non-profit benefiting elephants in Botswana.
In a video obtained by the Daily Mail, Harry, 35, could be seen speaking with Disney CEO Bob Iger at the premiere of "Lion King" last summer.

"You know, she does voiceovers," Harry could be heard saying to Iger, 68, as the prince pointed to his wife.
"Oh really, I did not know that," Iger said.
"She's really interested," said Harry.
"We'd love to try," Iger responded.
Markle was present for the conversation but was speaking with Beyoncé and Jay-Z at the time.
