Meghan Markle has signed a voiceover deal with Disney, according to reports
in the UK.

for her work on an as yet unnamed project.

Harry's announcement on Wednesday that they planned to step back from their
roles as senior British royals.
The Times newspaper reports that the charity in question is Elephants
Without Borders, a conservationist group that focuses on protecting
elephants from poachers.
The newspaper also reports that Meghan completed the voiceover before she,
Harry and their seven-month-old son, Archie, traveled to Canada for
Christmas.
The couple have said that they intend to "become financially independent"
after cutting back on their royal roles.
Some pundits, brand experts and royal correspondents have speculated that
the couple could make a fortune from endorsements, TV work and public
speaking roles.
Speaking to Mailonline, Ronn Torossian, of PR firm 5W Public Relations,
said: "Their earning power - both individually and as a couple - is
limitless in all aspects of endorsements.
"Whether appearances, brand partnerships or more, they could make eight or
nine figures annually with endorsement deals."
The Sun has also speculated that Markle could go into partnership with
fashion houses.
