Announced at the virtual Cannes Market last year, the film written by Steven Knight will chronicle the events of three days during the last Christmas that Diana spent as part of the royal family in Sandringham, around the same time shown in the series. The Crown.

He received criticism for accepting such a difficult role

While the announcement of Kristen as the famous princess was met with both good and bad reviews, especially over the fact that the actress is not English, this new image shows a great physical similarity between the two and could mean a success in the career of Stewart.

He hopes to interpret a more intimate side
