Elephant Narrated by Meghan Markle-Disney Nature Film for Disney Plus!
REVEALED!! Elephant Narrated by Meghan Markle, a Disney Nature film will stream on Disney Plus beginning in April! Markle is going BIG for her return to Hollywood and is using her perfect voice and princess allure to do it.
This all comes on the heels of Prince Harry and Meghan’s return to England for their final royal engagements. In which the duchess dropped the fashion mic in one mesmerizing design after the other; for the whole world to see. Furthermore, in true fabulous fashion, Meghan is remaining high above any British press negativity; and continuing in her charitable and honorable acts towards the world and environment; with her latest assignment with Disney. How?
First and foremost it should be noted that neither Meghan or Prince Harry is being paid for Elephant. Meghan participated because she wanted to and due to the good it will do for elephants in general. Disney is donating funds to Elephants Without Borders. You may recall the couple visiting Botswana in 2016 and 2017 to help Dr. Mike Chase (founder of Elephants Without Borders) to help with the relief effort there. Therefore, Duchess Meghan had plenty of initiative and drive to be apart of this well-kept secret of Disney.
Elephant Narrated by Meghan Markle-Disney Nature Film for Disney Plus!
Nevertheless, this long-awaited project has been a quite “hush-hush” collaboration between the Duchess of Sussex and Disney Nature even on into 2020. However, the entertainment giant finally broke the silence once and for all. Disney took to social to announce today that not only was the project completed; but it would air in LESS than a week! The release? Elephant, a documentary that follows a herd of elephants during their trial some journey across the unforgiving desert.
Viewers are taken on an insiders look into just what elephants face during their “pilgrimage.” The audience is treated to getting to know members of the herd more intimately. The doc focuses on an elephant named Shani and her son, Jomo. The pair travel along with their herd across the “Kalashnikov” desert.
What desert? Okay, we have a confession, the desert in the doc is actually called the Kalahari desert. We’re glad you caught that. Now there are plenty of areas and regions in Africa that are well known. However, the Kalahari or “Kalashnikov” desert may not be one of them for a lot of people.
Therefore, we thought it would be cool to dip a toe in the educational pool in order to find out about this desert that is showcased in the film. Honestly, this Disney documentary will be most helpful; because there’s really not much information out there. A quick Google search will basically yield you nothing… well if you search incorrectly.
Not only will you not gain much info BUT you may even be left confused. Search up Kalashnikov Desert and you’ll mostly like see a range of knives and guns. To help one survive out in the desert (LOL). Definitely not what we’re looking for right?
Well, fortunately for you we went ahead and took the initiative to DIVE DEEP and see what we could find.
Elephant Narrated by Meghan Markle -Straight Facts
What’s causing the confusing between Kalahari and Kalashnikov? Wrong reporting for one thing, but also some wishing to associate the Kalashnikov part of history in Africa to the film. Maybe out of negativity, but we assure you that has NOTHING to do with the film itself so ignore those sites. To really get details, it’s better to look under Kalahari. Ready to learn? Read on!
The Kalahari desert is found in Botswana; see… more familiar and interesting already! The region is full of beauty and GREAT wealth. According to Wikipedia,
The Kalahari Desert is a large semi-arid sandy savanna in Southern Africa extending for 900,000 square kilometres (350,000 sq mi), covering much of Botswana, parts of Namibiaand regions of South Africa.
Kalahari is derived from the Tswana word Kgala, meaning “the great thirst”, or Kgalagadi, meaning “a waterless place”;[1] the Kalahari has vast areas covered by red sand without any permanent surface water.
A semi-desert, with huge tracts of excellent grazing after good rains, the Kalahari supports more animals and plants than a true desert, such as the Namib Desert to the west. There are small amounts of rainfall and the summer temperature is very high.
Straight Facts (Continued)
What about the people? Who lives there? And if it’s so barren what type of wealth can be found there? Wikipedia continues,
The San people have lived in the Kalahari for [thousands of] years as hunter-gatherers. They hunt wild game with bows and poison arrows and gather edible plants, such as berries, melons and nuts, as well as insects. The San get most of their water requirements from plant roots and desert melons found on or under the desert floor. They often store water in the blown-out shells of ostrich eggs. The San live in huts built from local materials—the frame is made of branches, and the roof is thatched with long grass.
In 1996, De Beers evaluated the potential of diamond mining at Gope. In 1997, the eviction of the San and Bakgalagadi tribes in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve from their land began. [However] in 2006, a Botswana High Court ruled in favor of the San and Bakgalagadi tribes in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, claiming their eviction from the reserve was unlawful. The Government of Botswana granted a permit to De Beers’ Gem Diamonds/Gope Exploration Company (Pty) Ltd. to conduct mining activities within the reserve.
Elephant Narrated by Meghan Markle -A Journey Like No Other!
Very interesting huh? Well, there were even more fascinating things to learn on Wikipedia. So when you get a moment we highly recommend reading over the entire page. You’ll find the link a few paragraphs above this one, in case you missed you.
Furthermore, knowing more about the Kalahari also helps to paint a bigger picture of the documentary, Elephant. Watching animals may be exciting at a zoo, but this doc will be right up there. The herd shown in the film must face many challenges to survive.
Think about it… what would you need to do in order to survive a trek through a desert? Find food? Locate water? Watch over little ones as well as protect yourself from predators? No doubt you would have to do all of that and more.
These fearless elephants will have to do the “impossible” as well in order to achieve their goal. And make it across the desert with their matriarch, Gaia.
Sounds like quite a journey and quite a documentary! Therefore, be sure to catch it when it streams on Disney Plus beginning on April 3rd.
But Wait There’s More!
Not a fan of elephants? No worries, Disney Plus has many other offerings on the streaming table. Elephant will not be the only Disney Nature movie dropping on the streaming come April 3.
Dolphin Reef which is narrated by Natalie Portman will also premiere on the same day as Meghan Markle’s flick. Moreover, remember Penguins that hit theaters back in 2019? Well, it too will be released onto The Disney Plus streaming service on the same day as Dolphin Reef and Elephant.
Three releases on one day? Whew, Disney shows that are not slowing down for any reason. If people are home then will be sure to have plenty of content for us all to watch! But what about you? Will you be tuning into any of these documentary releases?

Meghan Markle Covers Tatler Magazine December 2019 Edition!
Her Royal Highness, Meghan Markle Covers Tatler Magazine December 2019 Edition! Yes, it’s true, the Duchess of Sussex is a GORGEOUS cover girl for one of the longest running magazines in the modern era. Kudos!
HOWEVER… this issue is causing many to raise a few eyebrows. Why? Well, let’s just say the verbiage is not exactly “friendly.”
It’s a bit shocking; because news of this new cover comes on the heels of a heart-wrenching interview in which Markle admits that being a new mom and wife in the public eye is tough. Not only is it not as easy as it looks; but there are not too many that even think to ask if Meghan is doing okay.
Honestly, when you see the footage; if you have a soul at all your heart goes out to her. You see genuine sadness in her eyes. If reaching through a screen was technologically possible; many of us would of took the opportunity to reach on through with a hug. Meghan seemed to be near tears.
Nevertheless, her behavior is still not “odd.” It is common. Many new moms at times experience postpartum depression after giving birth to their little bundles of joy. Moreover, being a celebrity does not shield one from such an emotional experience.
Nevertheless, with such a major and viral reveal from HRH being brought before the eyes of the world. One would think Tatler would have nothing but something positive to say about Markle. WRONG.
Meghan Markle Covers Tatler Magazine December 2019 Edition!
Right smack on the cover you will find Meghan’s face plastered front and center; and the headline, “Does she conquer or divide?” Does she what?! Why is this even being said?
This is really, really BIG issue for Tatler so you would think the headline would naturally be something positive. Instead it’s an uncharacteristic low blow.
Don’t believe? Here’s a quick look back on some of Tatler’s past covers.
First up Julianne Moore gets to talk about beauty, an iconic fashion designer and men. No negatives in reference to her.
Next up is Madonna. The material girl gets to give an interview on her terms… by one of her good friends.
Let’s give a model a world, shall we? Beauty Olympia Campbell also graced the cover of Tatler. However, she is given the grand title of ruler of the waves.
Now let’s turn our attention to the wonderful and talented Liv Tyler (not sarcasm, we really heart her lol). Tatler refers to her as Britain’s American beauty, and a member of high society. Hmm… so an American, can be praised for joining higher circles; but an actual member of the royal family who is also an American no less is nothing but a family and country divider. Interesting.
Lastly, the other Tatler cover for the month of December. It’s a celebration of the magazine’s long-running success. All positive. Just like the above cover mentioning that Elle Fanning is a Hollywood princess.
So What’s Causing This?
Therefore, if Tatler can take the high road regularly for their magazine; why couldn’t they for Meghan? Tatler is a cool mag with a great vibe. Which is why it stinks to see THEM be dividers of the people. The very thing they are accusing the duchess of doing. Ironic.
Nonetheless, We would never wish this type of headline on anyone. Tatler is just stirring the pot and adding fuel to an already horrible media fire. Basically labeling royalty as a “problem starter.” Sad.
Would one say that about the queen? William? Any of the other royals?
One commenter on Tatler’s Instagram summed it up best. “You don’t like Meghan because she’s half black.” Boom.
It’s nothing deeper. It is not about personality. Not that she is a former actress. Unfortunately, it boils down to what is pulsing through her veins. She’s half black and that’s the part of her that some find revulsing. Sadly.
Being of color ourselves, we have experienced this very same phenomena. It’s not fun. We really wish it was not common. However, prejudice for now exists, and we look forward to the day it doesn’t.
Her Royal Highness, Meghan Markle Covers Tatler Magazine December 2019 Edition —But There is Good News
Well now that you have background on the controversy. You can form your own opinion on it. Moreover, since Tatler is not being entirely positive we are choosing to say something nice in their behalf.
There is a silver lining in all of this. In the month of December Tatler will celebrate a major milestone. Their mag will be 310 years young! WOW!
That kind of longevity truly deserves a round of applause. Especially with all the developments in tech and publishing. We tip our hats to them and give them a standing ovation for weathering all of the magazine production storms. Additionally, in view of their anniversary edition Tatler reveals,
“Tatler made its instantly success and groundbreaking debut in 1709. 310 years later it is still a must read for those that want the inside track on the most important and influential people in the country. What they are talking about, their tastes and fashion– and to see inside the most glamorous parties in the land. Toast the milestone by picking the 310th Anniversary December issue.”
Furthermore, Meghan being on the cover for such a big milestone is still a very nice accomplishment for her. She gets to be apart of a rich history in the realm of literature and journals. Most likely like us, Meghan probably realizes that you’re never going to be loved by everyone; yet that does not mean you still won’t have the opportunity to shine. Regarding her feature, Tatler says,
“Who better to appear on the cover of the special 310th Anniversary issue than HRH the Duchess of Sussex, the most talked about woman of the day. Tatler conducted an exclusive nationwide poll on the country’s opinions on Meghan and four writers share their differing takes on the Duchess.”
While we hate the titling; it’s still a big issue, a big deal for Tatler and a big well done to Meghan for keeping her composure in a divided world.

How All of This Makes The Duchess Feel
As one can see, a lot of effort and work went into putting this issue together. No doubt Meghan exhausted herself to pull this special editon together. Especially, since she was pregnant to Baby Archie Harrison during the process.
Nevertheless, the Duchess of Sussex maintains that the overall process was a very enjoyable one. Regarding her work for British Vogue Meghan states,
“Guest Editing the September issue of British Vogue has been rewarding, educational; and inspiring. To deep dive into this process; working quietly behind the scenes for so many months; I am happy to now be able to share what we have created.
A huge thanks to all of the friends who supported me in this endeavor; lending their time and energy to help within these pages and on the cover. Thank you for say, ‘Yes!’ And to Edward, thank you for this wonderful opportunity.”
