DUCHESS Meghan has been inundated with movie offers since narrating Disney’s Elephant documentar­y.

A source told the Daily Mail’s Eden Confidenti­al column: “Disney were absolutely delighted with the job Meghan did for them. She only signed for one project, but there is discussion about other films and ideas they may be able to work on.”

Other studios have also been in touch with Meghan, 38, who moved back to her native Los Angeles earlier this year with Harry and their 13-month-old son Archie.

The insider said: “For Meghan, it has to be the right project, and something she really believes in.”

Meghan previously revealed her hopes that Elephant, which follows African elephant Shani and her son Jomo on an epic journey across the Kalahari Desert, would serve as an inspiratio­n.

She said: “I hope that when people see this film, they see how connected we all are and if we had more of an awareness about the obstacles they’re facing… we’d take care of each other, this planet, and animals in a very different way.

“I’ve been very lucky to be able to have hands-on experience with elephants in their natural habitat.

“When you spend time connecting to them and the other wildlife, you really understand we have a role to play in their preservati­on and their safety.

These creatures are so majestic, and… they are so sensitive and so connected. We see in this film just how remarkable they are… the close connection of the herd, the protective­ness of their young… they’re a lot more like us than they are different.”
