Interest in the royals has never been greater than it is right now, so it’s no surprise another story about the late Princess Diana is hitting our screens later this year in biopic Spencer.
Playing the title role of the Princess of Wales, who passed away in a tragic car accident in 1997, is Twilight star Kristen Stewart. And the LA-born actress tells us it’s been a “really cool experience” getting into the role of Diana.
While avid fans of Diana had an insight into her life in the fourth season of The Crown, Kristen says she plays a slightly older version of the royal than Emma Corrin portrayed in the Netflix show.
“I guess we’re pretty lucky because there’s no crossover,” she explains.
Here, Kristen, 31, reveals how she prepared for her role, her memories of the real life Di and how she’s keen to dispel rumours around the princess’s controversial life...
Hi Kristen. What does Princess Diana mean to you?
Getting to know Diana has been a really cool experience. She means a lot to me – but it’s all relatively new because I’m from LA and I didn’t grow up in England. Before this, she was not something that was at the forefront of my mind because I lived so far away from it all. Now, I can’t stop thinking about her. I often wonder what she’d think about what’s going on in the world right now.
