The Happy Prince

The film "The Happy Prince" (2018) tells the story of Oscar Wilde's decline into poverty and illness after his release from prison in 1897. With Colin Morgan as Lord Alfred Douglas, a love interest who had abandoned him without gratitude, and Rupert Everett as Oscar Wilde himself, the film explores Wilde's final years, marked by illness and loss, including the death of his wife Constance Lloyd and his estranged children. In the end, Wilde receives an extreme Catholic last rite before dying surrounded by his few remaining friends.
