Stewart revealed she had studied two biographies about Diana’s life for the role, which has previously been played by Naomi Watts in 2013’s Diana and Emma Corrin in Netflix’s The Crown. “I’m finishing all the material before I actually go make the movie,” Stewart said, of her research. “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 said, according to Vanity Fair.

Stewart’s casting was announced in June of last year. The Twilight actor, 30, is the same age as Diana at the time the movie takes place.“Spencer is a dive inside an emotional imagining of who Diana was at a pivotal turning point in her life,” said Stewart, in the release. “It is a physical assertion of the sum of her parts, which starts with her given name; Spencer. It is a harrowing effort for her to return to herself, as Diana strives to hold onto what the name Spencer means to her.”
