Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are kicking off the first few days of 2020 by grabbing the world’s attention. On Wednesday, they announced that they are going to step back as “senior” members of the royal family and will be splitting their time between the U.K. and North America. The royal family has to work out a lot of details about future plans for Meghan, Harry, and their son, Archie, but fans will take what they can get for now.
Meghan and Harry followers might be interested to know that the Duchess of Sussex has signed a voiceover deal with Disney to benefit wildlife charity Elephants Without Borders, according to The Times.
Per the publication, there has been one report that the royal family, who seemed somewhat taken off guard by the couples’ official announcement to break away from their royal duties, accused the couple before Christmas of already signing deals with “firms including Disney.” The Times adds that the duchess had already recorded the voiceover before she and Prince Harry left for Canada for the holidays.
This move to work with Disney is just another step in Harry and Meghan’s move to separate their charity work from that of Prince William and Kate Middleton. In June 2019, they first filed to register a trademark for their own foundation. The filing was officially published at the end of December, signifying that the duke and duchess, who can now be found at their website here, are pulling away from the charitable work of William and Kate.
Before Archie was born in early May, Harry and Meghan moved to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. This was an early sign that Harry and Meghan were not going to hold tight to the idea of the “Fab Four.”
This week’s news seems to confirm this further.
