Princess Beatrice's film debut
Sep 21, 2007, 12:38 GMT
Britain's Princess Beatrice is set to appear in a film about Queen Victoria.
The 19-year-old princess - whose mother, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, is working as an executive producer on 'The Young Victoria' - will have a small non-speaking role in the movie.
Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reports Beatrice will appear in scenes showing Victoria's 1838 coronation, due to be filmed early next month.
The movie -written by Oscar-winner, Julian Fellowes - sees British star Emily Blunt portray a young Victoria as she falls in love with Albert and ascends to the throne.
The part of Albert will be played by Rupert Friend - who is currently dating Hollywood star Keira Knightley.
Sarah, who is the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, reportedly used her royal contacts to secure permission for the movie to shoot at royal venues including Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, Arundel Castle in Sussex and Belvoir castle in Leicestershire.
Director Jean-Marc Vallee is also known to be eager to shoot key scenes at London's Kensington Palace and Berkshire's Windsor Castle.
The film is scheduled for release in 2009.
