The first photo of Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana in the upcoming film Spencer shows a striking resemblance between the two.

Fans know Kristen Stewart from her role as Isabella in The Twilight Saga movie series, which she filmed at the age of only 18 years old. The actress, now 30, may be one of the closest look-alikes to the late Princess Diana that viewers have seen. A photograph has been released of Stewart dressed as Princess Diana, and the similarities in their facial features are leaving people across the internet speechless.

In an article from Cinema Blend, Stewart admits playing the role of Princess Diana is different than her parts before and can be intimidating. However, she has been conducting her research on the late Princess to portray her as best as possible.

The details are minimal, but here’s what we know about the upcoming film. Spencer will focus on Princess Diana as she navigates through the difficulties of her marriage and wrestling with thoughts of leaving the royal family for good. The film will be set in the early 1990s, primarily around 1992, shining a light on Princess Diana’s journey to her self-discovery and how she found the strength to handle her position as Princess of Wales, despite all the difficulties behind closed doors.

The well known British screenwriter, Steven Knight, wrote the script for the film. Although no release date has been set, productions are set to begin this month with hopes for a Fall 2021 launch. Eager fans have already predicted an Oscar for Stewart for her role as Diana.

Even though only one image has been released, fans on social media are excited about Stewart’s performance as Diana and looking forward to new updates on the film.
