#Kristen Stewart will play Princess Diana in new movie, ‘Spencer’

Kristen Stewart will take on the role of Princess Diana in the new movie “Spencer,” Deadline reports.

The drama, whose title refers to Lady Di’s surname before marriage, will take place over three days during the 1990s as Diana has second thoughts about her rocky marriage to Prince Charles.

Stewart, 30, is six years younger than Diana was when she got divorced in 1996. The princess died in a Paris car crash in 1997, and the film will not cover her tragic death.

Directed by Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín (“Jackie”), “Spencer” plans to begin production in early 2021.

Princess Diana will be portrayed onscreen a lot in the coming years. Newcomer Emma Corrin will play Di in the upcoming Season 4 of Netflix’s “The Crown,” which will likely be delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
