Meghan Markle retired from acting when she married Prince Harry in order to help him with his endeavors. While many maintained that they were happy for her as she joined the royal family, others wondered what she would do now that she was a royal. Contrary to popular belief, Meghan Markle did not entail just sitting and batting her eyelashes. Being a senior royal member required a lot of work, as you represent the institution in its entirety wherever you go. Despite the Duchess of Sussex having her hands full, Prince Harry thought that his wife could take up at least one more job.

In 2019, Megxit was a term unheard of, but looks like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had already made plans to step down from their positions as working senior royal members. As the couple attended The Lion King‘s UK premiere, Prince Harry served as Markle’s agent as he pitched her as a voiceover actor.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry discussed opportunities with Jon Favreau

In the 2019 rendition of The Lion King, Jon Favreau took the director’s position while mega-celebrities such as Beyonce, Seth Rogen, Donald Glover, and James Earl Jones perfectly voiced the characters. As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended the premiere, they ironically seemed awestruck and inspired. In a video from The Lion King UK premiere in 2019, the couple could be seen chatting with Jon Favreau. “If anyone needs any extra voiceover work, we can make ourselves available,” Prince Harry said in the viral video. Markle further joked, “That’s really why we are here-to pitch!“.

Another snippet also appeared to show Prince Harry saying “just not Scar” as he fetched a blockbuster opportunity for Meghan Markle as a voice actor. It is clear through the video how supportive of a husband Prince Harry is and how well the Sussexes go along with most people. The highlight, however, was Beyonce watching with a small proud smile as Meghan Markle talked to The Lion King director.

Will the Duchess of Sussex become a voice actor?

There have been countless cases of royal members pursuing careers in arts after finishing their tenure as working royals. However, this remains privy to being an author, painter, and such. However, for Meghan Markle, who quit acting when she was at the peak of her career, fans were hoping for a return to Hollywood following Megxit.

But so far, Markle is yet to put on a voice acting performance, let alone an acting performance. Unfortunately for Prince Harry, his pitching was not impressive enough to get his wife an opportunity at Disney as a voice actor. Not even for Scar.
