Footage draws social media ire after news broke that Duchess of Sussex signs voice over deal with media giant

A video has resurfaced from The Lion King premiere in July of 2019 which captured Prince Harry touting Meghan Markle's voiceover skills.

"You know she does voice overs right?"Prince Harry tells Disney CEO, Bob Iger.

To which Iger replies saying,"Oh really, I did not know that."

Prince Harry then goes on to say that,"You seem surprised, but yeah she's really interested."

Iger can be seen saying: "we'd love to try."

Meanwhile, Meghan is pictured chatting to pop royalty Beyonce who voiced the character of Nala in the Disney-remake.

The footage sparked immense backlash on social media with users incensed as Meghan penned a voice over deal with the media giant on January 12.

The Duchess of Sussex will not be compensated directly for her acting services, instead the money will go to Elephants Without Borders, a charity that helps to track and protect the animals from poaching.

However, many believe the agreement serves as a major clue as to how Meghan and Harry plan to bankroll themselves in the future.
