A video has just emerged which shows the Duke and Duchess of Sussex joking about Meghan's availability for voiceover work. The clip was taken at the London premiere of Disney's live-action remake of The Lion King in July and discovered this week by The Mail on Sunday. It showed Prince Harry indicating his wife and commenting to director Jon Favreau, "If anyone needs any extra voiceover work…" Meghan then broke into the conversation to joke: "That's really why we're here – it's the pitch!" A teasing Prince Harry added: "Just not Scar," in reference to the movie's villain.

As his wife chatted to superstars Beyoncé and Jay-Z , Harry could also be heard telling Disney CEO Bob Iger, "You know she does voiceovers?" to which the executive responded, "Oh really? I did not know that." The Duke replied, "She's really interested," to which Iger responded: "We'd love to try." Earlier this month, it was reported that Meghan has been hired by Disney to work on an as-yet-unknown project for the company in exchange for a donation to the charity Elephants Without Borders.
