If your Princess Diana obsession cannot merely stop at searching up all things related to series four of The Crown, you are in luck because Kristen Stewart is set to portray the People's Princess in her upcoming movie, Spencer.

According to Deadline the film is about a weekend in the '90s where Di knew her marriage to Prince Charles wasn't going to work out and quickly had to develop her own path.

Whilst stepping into the role of Princess Di, Stewart has said that it has made her begin to sympathise with her and that now she feels the need to protect her.

In an interview for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kristen spoke about playing Diana and said that she has as much love for Di as the long-time devotees.

'I feel sort of the same way about her, and it happened really quickly,' she said. "I didn't grow up with her maybe in the same way. I was really young when she passed away.'

In the interview, Kristen also reflected on Diana's death in 1997, and recalled being in awe of how many people laid out flowers for her at Buckingham Palace. 'I've never seen so many in one place,' she said. 'I was really young [and] didn't really know what was going on. But now, it's hard not to feel protective over her. I mean, she was, like, so young and obviously she comes out to here [sic].'

Kristen also gave some BTS intel on what Spencer will be about revealing that the 'movie takes place over three days, and it's this really poetic internal imagining of what that might have felt like rather than giving new information. We sort of don't have a mark to hit. We just also love her.'

We are anxiously awaiting this movie's release, but will continue with The Crown in the meantime.
