Kristen Stewart dazzles as Princess Diana in new footage of Spencer showing a fight with Prince Charles – critics are already calling it her ‘Oscar moment’
- A five-minute clip of the Pablo Larraín-directed film was privately revealed at CinemaCon, winning praise from critics like Scott Menzel on Twitter
- The film, also starring Timothy Spall as Queen Elizabeth’s security guard, premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival in September
Kristen Stewart has rocked CinemaCon with the first footage of her role as Princess Diana, facing off against an icy Prince Charles, in Spencer.
Spencer will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 15.
The riveting CinemaCon footage, which has not been released publicly, showed Stewart channelling the late Princess of Wales in a plush Sandringham royal estate drawing room confrontation with Prince Charles (played by Jack Farthing) over a billiards table.
Charles can barely contain his anger toward Diana because people are talking about how she is “delayed”, suggesting she is having an affair.
Charles castigates his young wife for leaving the curtains open to allow photographers, a problem for the royal family, to capture her.
“It seems they are circling just me, not you,” Diana replies.
