The Duchess of Sussex, also known as former Hollywood actress Meghan Markle, is officially making a return to the big screen following her shock decision to step back from her royal role.
The talented 38-year-old has reportedly signed a voice-over deal with Disney, in return for a donation made to a wildlife charity.
This marks a big move for the Duchess, who only just made the announcement that she and husband Prince Harry would transition from being senior members of the royal family and work to become “financially independent”.

The Times reported that the donation from Meghan’s work with the entertainment giant will be made to Elephants Without Borders.
This move certainly suggests that the royals are already carving out their own plans in the wake of becoming more independent from their roles and expectations as royal family members.
In working to become “financially independent”, it seems very possible that the Duchess may return to acting in some capacity.

The gig earned her global recognition, but the actress gave up her acting career when she married Prince Harry.
Now, it seems like Meghan may well have the best of both worlds as she and her husband carve out a new, modernised future together as less-senior members of the royal family.
