Kristen Stewart 'can’t stop thinking about' Princess Diana amid film role: 'Means a lot'

Kristen described the Princess of Wales as “one of the biggest energies ever in history” and praised the fact that she “wore her heart on her sleeve”.

Directed by Chilean Pablo Larrain and written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, Spencer is set during Christmas at Sandringham in 1991, when Lady Di decided to divorce Prince Charles.

Critics have praised Kristen’s “Oscars-worthy” performance and Variety compared Spencer to the director’s Jackie, starring Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy.

The outlet wrote: “I thought Jackie was a knockout, and Spencer, which also finds its heroine living through a fateful moment of truth and transition, is every bit as good; it may be even better.”
