Meghan Markle Reportedly Inks Deal With Disney

According to The Times, Meghan Markle has reportedly inked a major deal with Disney to do a voice-over in exchange for a contribution to a charity of her choosing.

The power move comes on the heels of the seemingly shocking announcement that she and her husband, Prince Harry, plan to take a “step back” as senior members of the British royal family.

With stepping away from royalty, the couple are setting themselves up to be financially independent and carve out more progressive roles for themselves and spending more time in the United States.

The reported Disney deal has Meghan doing a voice-over in return for a donation to “Elephants Without Borders”, which reportedly supports wildlife conservation. The collaboration is the first of many that coincide with couple’s desire to use their celebrity status to further their favorite charities.

Meghan has reportedly already completed the voice-over work prior to the couple’s Christmas holiday in Canada where they spent time with Meghan’s mother.

This isn’t the first time Harry and Meghan have worked with Disney. Earlier this year the couple attended the premiere of the Disney film “The Lion King.” The premiere was held in support of African Parks, an organization Prince Harry fully supports.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
