Meghan Markle says elephants are ‘just like us because they are protective of their young’ in Disney clip
MEGHAN Markle says elephants are 'just like us because they are protective of their young' in a Disney clip shown today.
In the interview – which was taped last year when she recorded her narration for the Elephant film – Meghan spoke about her experience working on the Disney documentary.
"Their memories are amazing – the close connection of the herd, the protectiveness of their young," she added.
Meghan, mother to her 11-month-old son Archie, said she feels humans and elephants are more similar than people may think.
"I think they’re a lot more like us than they are different," she said.
The film follows an elephant family on a 1,000-mile journey across Africa over eight months.
Meghan said in the interview she hopes the documentary helps people realize how different creatures and the environment across the globe are connected.
"I hope that when people see this film they realize how connected we all are and if we had more of an awareness about the obstacles they’re facing, I think we’d take care of each other, this planet and animals in a very different way," Meghan said.
"I’m really grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of bringing this story of elephants to life," Meghan said.
"I’ve been very lucky to be able to have hands-on experience with elephants in their natural habitat.
Prince Harry and Meghan previously have worked in Botswana – – to work with the charity.
The interview airing comes just weeks after.
It was announced earlier this year that Meghan and Prince Harry would be stepping back from their roles as senior members of the Royal Family.
Just days after they made their exit as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the Elephants documentary aired.
The couple are now living in Los Angeles, where they are reportedly eyeing million-dollar mansions.
Meghan and Harry yesterday were lockdown.
