Madonna Gets Advice From Royal Family Over New Movie

October 11, 2010
Madonna Gets Advice From Royal Family Over New MovieMadonna has received advice from the Royal Family about her new film, it’s been reported.

The singer and occasional director is currently shooting W.E., which tells the story of King Edward VIII's romance with US divorcée Wallis Simpson.

Madonna’s production company contacted the entire Royal Family when researching the role, according to The Sun.

The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester were apparently among those who took up the offer to meet the star.

"Some senior figures turned it down,” a source said. “But others, including Princess Michael of Kent, Prince Edward and the Gloucesters, jumped at the chance."

W.E., which is Madonna’s second attempt at directing, is due to open in 2011.
