American actress Kristen Stewart, 30, has been chosen to play Princess Diana in a new drama film called "Spencer," and production is expected to start in early 2021.

The film covers a short period of Diana's life in the early nineties, which is crucial in the life of the princess when she decided that her marriage to Prince Charles will not continue, and she realized that she needed to deviate from the path that would become a queen at the end of it.

The film was directed by Pablo Laren, and his work included an Academy Award-winning "Jackie". The script was written by British writer and director Stephen Knight, who is the author of the famous British series "Peaky Blinders".

I prefer to be myself

Pablo grew up in Chile, so the story of Diana and Charles did not have much impact on his life, especially after the focus on their lives faded as a duo and shed light on the king and crown, but he was fond of literature and fairy tales that he found contradictory to that of the Duchess of Wales and the Prince.

In his interview with Deadline, Pablo said, "We all grew up - at least in my generation - reading and understanding fictional love stories, where the prince comes and invites the princess to become his wife, and in the end she becomes the queen, but when one of them decides not to become a queen and says she prefers Being herself is a big decision, I have turned the fairy tale upside down, this is the heart of the movie. "

"How and why did you decide to do this? It is a wonderful global story that must reach millions of people, and that's what we want to do," Pablo added.

Just three days

The movie revolves around a few days that Diana spent in Sandringham's Queen Elizabeth home in Norfolk County, England during one of the Christmas holidays, and during this very short period of time the film offers a broader perspective on her life.

Pablo stressed that the movie will not revolve around the tragic death of Diana, and said, "We all know her fate, and we do not need to address that. We will remain in this most intimate location where she can express where she wants to go and who she wants to be."

Therefore, the film focuses on her relationship with her husband, her conflicts with him, and her extreme love for her sons, Prince William, and Prince Harry, who married American actress Megan Merkel and made a similar decision to what his mother did as a child.

"We decided to show the story about her identity, and how she decided - in some way - not to become a queen, and during the movie we see how she realized and decided that she wanted to become the woman who was before she met Charles, it is about finding herself and understanding that the most important thing for her is that She's doing well, so the movie has the name "Spencer", which is the name of Diana's family before she met Charles.

"Diana is an icon of strength, and millions around the world - not just women - feel sympathy for her and what she has gone through in her life, so we are trying to make a widespread film to reach audiences around the world interested in such a unique life."

Controversy over Kristin's performance

Kristen Stewart played a heroic role in the romantic vampire movie "Twilight", and became famous for her role at an early age, and now she will play a heroic role to embody the role of one of the most famous women around the world.

Regarding choosing Kristen to play Princess Diana, Pablo said, "Kristen is one of the great actors present today, so she can be very mysterious and very fragile, and in the end also very strong, which is what we need."

"Kristen's films are incredibly diverse to show her mastery and power as an actress, and she is also very committed to her work."

Despite the enthusiasm of director Kristen, as soon as the news of her performance of Diana's role spread, opinions differed about her ability to play a role of this importance, and some felt that it would be better if she embodied this role, at least an English actress.

In one of the comments on the news on Twitter, one of them said, "I really like Kristen Stewart, but she is not suitable for the role of Princess Diana?"

Charles and Diana got married in 1981, and they separated in 1992, and they officially announced their divorce in 1996. A year before their separation, Diana indirectly alluded to Charles's relationship with his current wife Camilla Parker in her interview with BBC Panorama when she said "We were three in this marriage, So it was a bit crowded. "

In 2018, Royal Correspondent Robert Jobson claimed that Charles wanted to withdraw from his wedding to Diana when he realized the extent of their incompatibility.

Diana died at the age of 36 on August 31, 1997 accompanied by her friend Dodi Al-Fayed during a car accident in Paris, after they were chased by motorbikes of photojournalists.
