Insiders say the 60-year-old remains intrigued by two Royal stories which he might yet decide he wants to tell: the abdication of Edward VIII in 1936, to marry divorcee Wallis Simpson; and the tale of Queen Mary, wife of George V. Miller said he asked her to audition by reading a classic scene from the Oscar-winning film Network, in which anchor Howard Beale (Peter Finch) famously declares: 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this any more!'
