Meghan Markle is 'perfect' and 'joyous' in Elephant documentary, say viewers

Meghan Markle has been called a 'perfect' choice to narrate Disney's latest nature documentary.

The Duchess of Sussex narrates the new Disney Nature film Elephant, which dropped on the streaming service Disney+ today.

Elephant follows an elephant family matriarch Gaia and her sister Shani and Shani's baby boy Jomo set out on a quest for a lush paradise, leading to threats from vicious predators, sweltering heat, and a dwindling food supplies.

The film is Meghan's first major venture since she and husband Prince Harry controversially stepped down as senior members of the royal family and ended their full-time public duties.

However, Disney+ viewers have now had their say on the Duchess' voice role in Elephant and they were much kinder.

One fan wrote on Twitter : Currently watching @Disneynature ’s #Elephant narrated by Duchess Meghan Markle of Sussex on @DisneyPlus. So far, it’s really beautiful and well-told."
