Meghan Markle: Expert discusses Disney voiceover role
Meghan will return to the screens on April 3, narrating a documentary on Disney+. As previously revealed, the proceedings of this film, which focuses on elephants on a journey across the Kalahari Desert, will be given to charities working with wildlife, including Elephant Without Borders (EWB).
This charity, much beloved by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, issued a statement a few hours after the first trailer of the documentary, aptly called Elephant, was released.
Thanking Meghan for her work, the charity said: "Thank you Meghan, because of you, this film brings knowledge and information to a global audience which in turn brings them closer to elephants.
"The impact will be global, reaching schools, more homes and more countries."
In the statement, the charity also acknowledged the long-standing commitment Meghan and Harry have showed on conservation.

It added: "Harry and Meghan's dedication to conservation is inspiring.
"Together, we will continue to work to conserve Africa's natural heritage, with a focus on empowering the people who coexist with elephants.
"Everyone at EWB is grateful for their friendship and their unwavering support of our efforts to conserve these iconic species.

"Harry and Meghan have both visited us in Botswana, and have no doubt that their passion and dedication will mean they continue to use their platform to make our world a better place."
Last year, Meghan and Harry shared on their Instagram account a few pictures of their trip to Botswana in 2017.
During their journey, the couple followed and helped Dr Mike Chase of EWB.
One of the snaps, taken by the Duke and Duchess themselves, shows the couple working together to place a satellite collar on a bull elephant.
Meghan also dedicated a few pages of the September edition of British Vogue she guest-edited to Jane Goodall, one of the most famous primatologists in the word.
Dr Goodall was interviewed by Prince Harry, who discussed with the expert her work on the human issues around conservation, climate change and the world's limited resources.
During the interview, Prince Harry revealed his fears for the future of his child - and whether he would like to give Archie Harrison a sibling.
Discussing global warming and how it is already happening, Harry told Dr Goodall: "I think, weirdly, because of the people that I’ve met and the places that I’ve been fortunate enough to go to, I’ve always had a connection and a love for nature.
"I view it differently now, without question.
"But I’ve always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children..."
Dr Goodall, interrupting the Duke of Sussex, said, laughing: "Not too many!"
Prince Harry replied: "Two, maximum!"
Disney's Elephant will be available on streaming a few days after Meghan and Harry officially step down as senior royals on March 31.
Little is known about their future at the moment, as the Sussexes still have to release their new brand name and the focus of their future charitable organisation.
Meghan and Harry are said to have moved from Canada to Los Angeles, where they are self-isolating as the Californian city is counting more than 3,000 cases of coronavirus.
