THIS is the moment Prince Harry touts Meghan Markle AGAIN for a Disney voiceover job at Lion King premiere.
The 35-year-old was filmed telling the movie’s director Jon Favreau they would “make ourselves available” for a role – with Meghan joking “that’s really why we’re here – to pitch”.
It comes as the Queen last night got tough over Megxit, revealing a no-nonsense deal that will see Meghan and Harry pay back £2.4m of taxpayers’ money spent on Frogmore Cottage and no longer using their HRH titles.
And in the astounding video that emerged last night, Harry could be heard promoting his wife – the second time he was filmed making the same offers at the event with Beyonce and Jay-Z.
In the video, he can be heard telling Mr Favreau: “If anyone needs any extra voiceover work, we’ll make ourselves available.”
Meghan then interjects, saying: “That’s really why we’re here – to pitch.”
The former actress then quickly laughs, saying “no”.
But Prince Harry continued with the joke, adding: “Just not Scar, it’s a no to Scar.”
Scar is the evil character in the Lion King who plots to kill his own brother for the throne.
The footage comes after the royal was seen chatting to Disney boss Bob Iger at the same event in July last year – quietly telling him that Meghan was “really interested” in a voiceover job.
And it this week emerged former Suits star Meghan has signed a deal with Disney in return for a donation to a wildlife charity.
The Duchess of Sussex will do the voiceover to help fund Elephants Without Borders, an organisation that helps to track and protect the animals from poaching.
Branding experts have said the couple’s value could quickly challenge the Beckhams, worth £700million,
The couple are free to pursue book deals, TV deals, public speaking, fashion and brand partnerships after their split from the royal family.
Piers Morgan criticised Harry for even attending the event – having been the same day as a Royal Marines memorial service.
Harry, who is the Captain General of the Royal Marines, skipped the event in July last year that paid tribute to the 11 servicemen killed by the IRA in Deal, Kent, in 1989.
A spokeswoman from Buckingham Palace said in August: “The Duke’s diary is set a number of months in advance and on this occasion he was unable to attend the memorial concert.”
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry have quit as royals – and are now free to rake in mega-bucks from commercial deals.
And potential deals are streaming in.
Overnight, Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos admitted the streaming giant would be open to working with the couple.
Speaking at a Los Angeles event, he said: “Who wouldn’t be interested? Yes, sure.”
Meanwhile UK branding expert Claire Shiels said the couple’s value could quickly challenge the Beckhams, worth £700million.
The couple are free to pursue book deals, TV deals, public speaking, fashion and brand partnerships after their split from the royal family.
Another untapped resource they can now take full advantage of is social media.
CNBC reports the couple have the potential to make over £80 million from sponsored content deals, according to data from influencer marketing platform Klear.
The palace last night confirmed details of the so-called “Megxit” deal – with Prince Harry losing his military titles and appointments.
The deal also means the couple will no longer use their HRH titles and will repay the £2.4million of taxpayer’s money they spent renovating Frogmore Cottage.
It was also confirmed the pair will get no more public cash as Buckingham Palace revealed the details of Megxit tonight – but it didn’t directly address the issue of who will pay for their security.
This new arrangement is expected to be rolled out this spring, meaning they will be carrying out royal engagements and Meghan will be returning to the UK until that time.
However, they still referred to themselves as “their Royal Highnesses” on their website which was updated minutes after the Queen’s announcement on their future.
It is understood that in return for dropping the use of the HRH titles, there will be no oversight on how the couple earn money, meaning they can make whatever commercial deals they want.
It is understood Prince Charles will continue to privately fund for the upkeep of their home, but it is not clear if it will be through his Duchy of Cornwall coffers.
Last year, Prince Harry and Prince William shared about £5million, and £2.3million of that went to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
