The Accent Is Intimidating: Kristen Stewart On Playing Princess Diana In Biopic

Los Angeles: Actor Kristen Stewart, who is set to play Princess Diana in filmmaker Pablo Larrain’s upcoming biopic, says the role is quite challenging and she is nervous about getting her accent right. Titled “Spencer”, the movie will centre around the Princess of Wales’ decision to leave Prince Charles while holidaying with the British royals.

During an interview with InStyle magazine, Stewart, 30, opened up about her prep work for the project. “The accent is intimidating as all hell because people know that voice, and it’s so, so distinct and particular. I’m working on it now and already have my dialect coach. In terms of research, I’ve gotten through two and a half biographies, and I’m finishing all the material before I actually go make the movie,” the actor said. “It’s one of the saddest stories to exist ever, and I don’t want to just play Diana I want to know her implicitly. I haven’t been this excited about playing a part, by the way, in so long,” she added.
