Madonna asks Royal help for new film

Madonna has been tapping some Royal resources for advice on her new film W.E.

The singer has already met with Britain’s Prince Edward, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Michael of Kent, to dig up information on the romance between King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson.

The film, which Madonna is directing, will follow the story of the romance which caused such public outcry that it resulted in King Edward renouncing his right to the throne after only a one year reign in order to marry Wallis.

The singer has also been talking to historians and staff of Buckingham Palace in order to accurately piece together the story for her film, which will be her second effort at directing after 2008’s ‘Filth and Wisdom’.
