Meghan Markle started working on her new cartoon Netflix program with Sir Elton John’s husband in 2018, two years before she left the United Kingdom, according to reports.

Her Netflix series is around a “12-year-old heroine who finds inspiration in influential women from history”

Sources told Page Six that conversations about the new initiative have been ‘active’ for three years, but that it began as a humanitarian endeavor while Meghan was a working royal.

The Sussexes did not reveal their shocking decision to leave the UK and establish a new life apart from the royal family until January 2020.

The show was “originally just one of a number of one-off advocacy projects that Markle started work on while a working member of the royal family,” according to the source.

In March, Meghan’s husband, Prince Harry, told Oprah Winfrey that they only thought about their £75 million Netflix agreement after leaving the UK for North America early last year.

Buckingham Palace announced to a surprised public at the time that they would no longer use the titles “royal highness” or earn public monies for their job as part of a compromise that would allow them to step down as working royals.

David announced the project he’d been working on on Instagram earlier this week.

“I am delighted that we are finally able to announce this exciting animated series.

“Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex and I are deeply passionate about bringing the inspirational and positive stories of extraordinary women from around the world to a global audience of all ages.

“The team collaborating on the series are first class, and Netflix are the perfect partner.”

“Meghan Markle developing animated series ‘Pearl’ with David Furnish for Netflix,” he captioned with a screenshot of the Variety headline.

Meghan, 39, will work with him as an executive producer on the Netflix project, according to the Sussex family’s audio production firm Archewell.

David, on the other hand, did not specify when they began their creative work.

Archewell Productions, which she runs with her husband Prince Harry, announced the program two days ago.
