Harry and Meghan’s Disney Partnership Ends Amidst Controversy
A recent revelation by royal expert Neil Sean sheds light on the true reason behind Harry and Meghan's departure from Disney.
It appears that the couple's demand for a statement from Disney's CEO, denying that Harry had begged for a job for Meghan, led to their ultimate severance from the entertainment giant.
The evidence of Harry's plea to Disney CEO Bob Iger was captured in a video taken during the Lion King film premiere in Leicester Square.
In the footage, Harry can be seen expressing his wife's interest in voiceover work to Mr. Iger.
He playfully points towards Meghan and mentions her talent for voiceovers.
Surprised by this revelation, Mr. Iger admits that he had no prior knowledge of Meghan's interest.
Harry continues to emphasize Meghan's enthusiasm, while Mr. Iger expresses his willingness to explore the possibility.
However, it is worth noting that Meghan eventually lent her voice to the Elephant documentary and chose not to accept any payment for her work.
Instead, she made a charitable donation with the potential earnings, although the specifics of the donation remain unclear.
The situation took a twist when Prince Harry inadvertently found himself on a hot mic, seemingly pleading for work opportunities for his wife.
Initially dismissed as a harmless joke, Harry and Meghan wanted Disney's top executives to echo their sentiment and clarify that they were not actually begging for work.
Unfortunately, the narrative took a different turn, leading to Disney severing ties with Meghan.
It is crucial to consider Bob Iger's position as the CEO of a colossal company.
Dictating terms to someone in such a powerful role was unlikely to yield positive results.
By floating the idea that they had attempted to influence the CEO, Harry and Meghan inadvertently sealed their fate, ending Meghan's prospects within the Disney organization.
One may wonder why they did not simply admit to inquiring about work, as it presented a golden opportunity.
Instead, they attempted to alter the narrative, which ultimately worked against them.
Disney transcended their desired narrative, resulting in Meghan being unceremoniously dumped from the partnership.
Adding to the controversy, Piers Morgan accused Harry of prioritizing Meghan's voiceover work over his duties as Captain General of the Royal Marines.
Morgan claimed that Harry snubbed an invite to a Royal Marines memorial service to attend the Lion King premiere.
The memorial honored the victims of an IRA bomb at the Royal Marines base in Deal, Kent, back in 1989.
Morgan criticized the prince for “hustling” his wife for voiceover work on the same day he should have been with the Royal Marines.
In conclusion, Harry and Meghan's partnership with Disney came to an end amidst controversy.
Their demand for a statement denying Harry's plea for work and their attempt to alter the narrative ultimately led to their severance from Disney.
This incident adds to the challenges faced by the couple since stepping down as senior members of the royal family.
