The film follows the popular Netflix series The Crown, which depicted the marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charle. Similarly, the film will be set at Sandringham and will tell the story of how Diana realises, in the 90's, that her marriage to Prince Charles is over.
Made by German company Komplizen Film, the royal film will star American actress Kristen Stewart as the lead.
It has also recently been revealed that Prince William has supported his brother Prince Harry through Meghan's miscarriage. The Duchess of Sussex wrote an emotional piece for the NY Times about how more women should talk about miscarriage.
