Embarrassing footage of Prince Harry asking a Disney exec for a job for Meghan Markle has come to light just days after the couple’s bombshell announcement they would be ditching their roles as senior royals.
WATCH: Moment Prince Harry asks Hollywood’s Bob Iger to give Meghan Markle a voiceover job
In the video (watch it above) Harry can be seen chatting to Disney CEO Bob Iger while attending the London premiere of The Lion King in July 2019, and during their brief conversation the Prince seemed to bring up the possibility of lining up some future work for the former Suits actress.
“You know she does voiceovers,” Harry says, referring to Meghan, as Bob replies, “Oh, really?”
“Did you know that?” Harry asks. “You seem surprised.”
Harry then gestures towards Meghan, who was speaking with Beyoncé as her husband is heard saying, “She’s really interested.”
“Sure,” Bob replies, according to the video. “We’d love to try.”
The video resurfaced over the weekend, after it was reported that Meghan had signed a voiceover deal with Disney, benefitting conservation charity Elephants Without Borders.
According to The Sunday Times, the deal was signed before Meghan and Harry’s bombshell announcement last week.
Disney has yet to comment on the report.
Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth has ordered a meeting take place on Monday between key royal family members to discuss next steps after Meghan and Harry’s bombshell exit announcement.
PEOPLE reports that Her Majesty will be joined by Harry, Prince William and Prince Charles at her country home of Sandringham, Norfolk.
The publication also claims that the Duchess of Sussex “will participate via phone if it happens within the right timeframe”.
“Following a series of meetings and consultations across the last few days, there is a range of possibilities for the family to review which take into account the thinking the Sussexes outlined earlier in the week,” the palace insider said.
