Meghan’s new role on Canadian reality TV show


 

 

Meghan Markle is already making plans for her first gig after quitting as a senior Royal, according to a new report.

Meghan, 38, will make multiple appearances on the upcoming Canadian reality show ‘I Do, Redo,’ which is about couples planning a second wedding after disaster ruins their first ceremony, a source tells Page Six.

The show, set to air on Netflix, will be hosted by Toronto wedding stylist Jessica Mulroney, who is Meghan’s a close friend and confidant.

It follows Meghan and Harry’s vow to become ‘financially independent’ after stepping down from the Royal family.

Meghan’s guest spots on the new show will be ‘sporadic,’ according to the source.

Union scale for a guest role on Canadian TV is $588 a day, though it’s unclear whether Meghan will be paid.

The 10-part reality show ‘revisits first-time wedding disasters before re-making the wedding dreams of 10 devoted couples,’ according to a press release.

Meghan herself was married twice, divorcing her first husband before marrying Harry in a ceremony viewed around the world.

‘We are aiming to make a significant difference in the lives of our chosen couples whose first weddings did not go as planned due to tragic circumstances,’ host Mulroney said in a statement about the show.

‘This is a side of the wedding industry that has never been shown on television before,’ she said.

It follows Meghan and Harry appearing to fish for voiceover work in unearthed video while attending The Lion King premiere on July 9 where they spoke with some of Hollywood’s most influential figures.

Footage shows Harry praising his wife’s voiceover skills to the film’s director Jon Favreau as Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay-Z look on.

In the clip Harry tells Favreau: ‘If anyone needs any extra voiceover work…’ before Meghan interrupts and jokes: ‘That’s really why we’re here – it’s the pitch!’

Harry then says ‘… just not Scar’ – a reference to antagonistic Lion King character who tries to steal the kingdom from Simba.

At the same event, Harry also touted Meghan’s acting chops to Disney CEO Bob Iger, 68, in a move the seemed to surprise his wife, former TV host Willow Bay.

During conversation, Harry asks: You do know she does voiceovers?

Iger can be heard replying: ‘Ah, I did not know that. Harry then responds: ‘You seem surprised. She’s really interested. The Disney chief then says: We’d love to try. That’s a great idea.
