In the pre-recorded clip, the Duchess told the show: “I’m really grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of bringing this story of elephants to life.
“I’ve been very lucky to be able to have hands-on experience with elephants in their natural habitat.
“When you spend time connecting with them and other wildlife, you really understand we have a role to play in their preservation and their safety.

“These creatures are so majestic and at the same time, they are so sensitive and so connected.
“You see in this film just how remarkable are, their memories are amazing, the close connection of the herd, the protectiveness of their young.
“I think they’re a lot more like us than they are different.”
She added: “I hope that when people see this film, they realise how connected we all are and if we had more of awareness about the obstacles we’re facing, I think we’d take care of each other, this planet and animals, in a very different way.”
