Madonna Sets Up Film Role for Daughter, Lourdes

Madonna is helping her daughter Lourdes make it in the movies - the Queen of Pop has reportedly offered the wannabe actress a small role in her upcoming film about late British royal King Edward VIII.

The Material Girl is stepping behind the camera to direct a historical drama based on the former king, who abdicated in 1936 so he could marry twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson - a move that rocked the British monarchy.

And it seems the singer wants to make her second directorial venture a family affair - she has arranged for her 13-year-old offspring to make a cameo appearance in the period drama.

A source tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "She's arranged for a small role for Lourdes. It's not a significant part but it will give her a good taste of life in the movie business. Lourdes has made it clear she wants some kind of career in the entertainment industry and her mum is more than happy to help.

"She's already an incredible dancer thanks to years of classes and she's also been having singing training."

Madonna has previously refused to allow her daughter to step into the limelight - she banned the teen from appearing in a Harry Potter movie after she was offered a role as a Hogwarts student by movie bosses.
