Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s life is set to be made into a BBC radio musical comedy show.
The broadcaster has announced the program called “The Sixth In Line To Be King And I” will air on New Year’s Day.
The “Rodgers and Hammerstein-inspired” piece, on Radio 4, will look at Meghan’s life and her future, as she expects her first child with Harry.
The 15-minute musical is described as an “inspired celebration of Meghan Markle’s life to date.”
It will also “look ahead to what promises to be an exciting 2019 for the happy royal couple as they expect their first child in the spring”.
Pippa Evans will play Meghan, while Richie Webb and Dave Lamb have also been cast.
It is one of two episodes of the “15 Minute Musicals” series.
The first, “Eurostars,” airs on New Year’s Eve and features a Eurovision Song Contest-style performance from “our non-Brexit-obsessed counterparts on the continent as they look back on their action-packed 2018.”
Songs could include “Boom Bang-a-Barnier” and “Save Your Lira For Me.”
The mini-musicals were announced as part of the Christmas and New Year highlights on BBC Sounds.
Other shows include Christmas specials of “That Peter Crouch Podcast” and “Fortunately With Fi And Jane.”
In “Surrogacy: A Family Frontier,” screenwriter Dustin Lance Black investigates UK attitudes towards surrogacy in a new podcast series for BBC Radio 5 Live.
