At long last, Meghan Markle is making her return to the small screen. This time around, however, she had a little help from Prince Harry.
As previously reported, the new Disney documentary, Elephant, that the 38-year-old Duchess of Sussex lent her voice to premieres on Disney+ today. Thanks to her career as the star of Suits (prior to her becoming a royal, then stepping down), Markle has had a fair amount of acting experience. But that didn’t stop her 35-year-old husband from playing momager when she recorded her voiceover part late last year.
“It was amazing having [Harry] there,” filmmaker Vanessa Berlowitz told People. “He had a connection to Botswana, of course.” Her filmmaking partner Mark Linfield added, “Harry was correcting [Meghan’s] pronunciation!” Oh, Harry.
Despite Harry’s feedback, Roy Conli (who also directed the film) shared that Meghan “made it her own.” Conli continued, “I always say, ‘If you feel something, do it, make it organic.’ She’s such a diligent professional and she wanted to get it right. It was a delight all the way around.”
