London, Mar 28 (IANS): Pop diva Madonna has reportedly offered her daughter Lourdes a small part in her upcoming period drama "W.E.".

The singer's directorial venture is a historical drama based on King Edward VIII who abdicated in 1936 to marry twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson. Imdb.com reports that Madonna has arranged for her 13-year-old daughter to make a cameo in the movie.

"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," said a source.

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.
