Royal Family News: Kristen Stewart Is An Absolute Princess Diana Lookalike For New Film Spencer

British royal family news shows that Twilight actress Kristen Stewart nailed the infamous Princess Diana gaze as she films an upcoming movie about the late royal. The first images from the movie Spencer have been released and show that the star has an uncanny resemblance to the late Diana.

The film dramatizes one weekend from the early 1990s when Diana reportedly decided to end her marriage to Prince Charles.

Written by English screenwriter Steven Knight, the film takes place over three days during a Christmas event at the royal’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England.

Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín said it will show the thought process by which the Princess of Wales realized she, “needed to veer from a path that put her in line to one day be queen.” Pablo directed Natalie Portman in the 2016 Jackie Kennedy film Jackie, which earned her a Best Actress Oscar nomination.
