Prince Harry stayed by Meghan Markle 's side as she recorded her new Elephant documentary and even offered her direction on her performance.

The Duchess of Sussex recorded the narration for the Disney nature film, and it's now been revealed her husband accompanied her to the recording sessions.

According to the filmmakers behind the movie, Harry was there to support Meghan as she recorded her lines at London’s Pinewood Studios in October.

He also couldn't resist giving her tips and advice.

Fellow producer Mark Linfield added:  "Harry was correcting her pronunciation."

Third filmmaker Roy Conli who also worked on the documentary, about the plight of African elephants, added that Meghan "made it her own".

"She’s such a diligent professional and she wanted to get it right. It was a delight all the way around."

The documentary follows follows a herd of pachyderm elephants 1,000 miles across the Kalahari Desert in search of water.

Vanessa added that Meghan seemed fascinated by the subject matter.

She went on: "She was absolutely intrigued by the elephants and transfixed, especially by the female empowerment side.

"How important the matriarchs are to the story; it really is all about female leadership.

"It’s a different form of power - it’s about consensual leadership. It’s also very inclusive, as well - very contemporary. She was absolutely fascinated by that."

Vanessa added: "You could totally tell she was identifying with [elephants] Shani and Jojo, and keeping little ones in tow.

"She felt like a normal mom going through the normal trials and tribulations of bringing up a baby. Like one of us."

Disneynature's Elephant hits screens on Disney Plus this week.
