Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart says that she can’t help but feel protective while playing the late Princess Diana in the new movie, Spencer. Kristen says that she has been reading books on Diana’s life in preparation for her big role. Here’s what she has to say.
The actress, who is best known for her role in the Twilight movie series, opened up about playing Princess Diana in a new interview with Jimmy Kimmel on his late night talk show. Kristen revealed that while she was very young when Princess Diana passed away in 1997, she can’t help but feel protective of her.
Kristen Stewart Can’t Help But Feel Protective Playing Princess Diana
Kristen put it this way, “I didn’t grow up with her maybe in the same way, I was really young when she passed away. I feel sort of the same way about her. It happened really quickly. I was really young, [I] didn’t know what was going on. It’s hard not to feel protective of her. She was so young.”
She continued, “I mean, everyone’s perspective is different and there’s no way to get anything right because what is fact in relation to personal experience.”
According to reports, the Twilight actress will start production on the project in early 2021. The film will cover the life-changing weekend in the early 1990s when Princess Diana decided that her marriage was over between her and Prince Charles. This was during their Christmas holiday at Queen Elizabeth’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England. Having had enough of all the scandals and royal controversies, Princess Diana announced to Charles then that she wanted to step back from life as a member of the British royal family.
Meanwhile, there are quite a few royal experts who believe that having Kristen Stewart play Princess Diana was a controversial decision in itself, as it has so far garnered mixed reactions.
“Ms. Stewart has a built-in fan base from her ‘Twilight’ movies, so the producers may be counting on her name recognition to draw viewers. It might be interesting to learn whether she was auditioned for the role against other actresses and was deemed the best fit, or whether she was offered it,” said Leslie Carroll, author of Diana and Charles: Royal Affairs and Notorious Royal Marriages.
