We now know more about the first role Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, will have once she leaves the royal family -- and it's a return to her Hollywood roots.

Disneynature said in a press release Thursday that Meghan Markle is the narrator for a new documentary about elephants. Titled simply "Elephants," the new doc will start streaming on April 3 on Disney+ along with a documentary about dolphins narrated by actress Natalie Portman.

"Elephant" tells the story of African elephant Shani and her son Jomo as they journey across the Kalahari Desert with their herd.

Disney+ denied reports Meghan had signed a "further" deal with Disney before stepping back from royal duties, emphasizing "no superheroes, no animated films, etc."

Meghan met the makers of the film in Botswana in 2016 and had watched some of their footage over the years, the press release said.
