For those of us who have seen Kristen Stewart’s charm since the Twilight movies, the praises for her latest role as Princess Diana in “Spencer” have long been wished for.
Stewart has always been an excellent actress. Her most memorable role made her the world’s highest-paid actress at 22 years old. During this time, however, she also faced too much hate from people who claimed that her acting was bad. But Stewart has finally returned to prove us wrong.
The movie, whose title came from Princess Diana’s maiden name, focuses on the Christmas celebration of the royal family at Sandringham Estate around 1992. It tells the story of Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s failing marriage. Writer Ingrid Seward, Princess Diana’s friend, was amazed by Stewart’s performance. “Out of all the people who have played Diana over the past 10 years, she’s the closest to her. She managed to perfect her mannerisms,” Seward said. “Spencer” was directed by Pablo Larraín, and it has started showing in movie theaters last November 5, 2021.
