First look at Kristen Stewart in new Princess Diana drama, ‘Spencer’

The film follows Princess Diana over a single weekend as she decides to leave her marriage to Prince Charles.

December, 1991: The Prince and Princess of Wales’ marriage has long since grown cold. Though rumours of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at Sandringham Estate. There’s eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game. This year, things will be a whole lot different.”

“SPENCER is a dive inside an emotional imagining of who Diana was at a pivotal turning point in her life. It is a physical assertion of the sum of her parts, which starts with her given name; Spencer. It is a harrowing effort for her to return to herself, as Diana strives to hold onto what the name Spencer means to her,” Stewart said.

‘Jackie’ director Pablo Larraín serves at the helm of this film. Steven Knight wrote the screenplay. Cinematography is by Portrait of a Lady on Fire’s Claire Mathon.

Sally Hawkins, Timothy Spall, and Sean Harris have also joined the cast of Pablo Larraín’s film.
