'W.E.' premiere: Madonna brings royal romance to London

Madonna hit London tonight for the UK premiere of her royal drama W.E.

The pop icon, who co-wrote and directed the romance, was joined by her W.E. stars Andrea Riseborough and James D'Arcy at London's Odeon Kensington for the film's unveiling.

W.E.'s two-tiered story centres on the affair between King Edward VIII (D'Arcy) and Wallis Simpson (Riseborough), and a contemporary romance between a married woman (Abbie Cornish) and a Russian security guard (Oscar Isaac).

Madonna brought W.E. to the UK last October for the film's BFI London Film Festival debut.

W.E. opens in UK cinemas on Friday, January 20.
