Kristen Stewart’s upcoming Princess Diana biopic Spencer finally has a full trailer, showing a haunting portrayal of the people’s princess.
Spencer tells the story of Diana during a Christmas holiday in 1991, when her marriage to Prince Charles was on the brink of collapse.
The dramatic new trailer sees Diana arrive late for the festivities at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate to endure three days with the extended royal family.
They think they know everything: They don’t.
A fable from Pablo Larraín.

“Mummy, what’s happened to make you so sad?” a young Prince William asks. She responds: “Here, in this house, there is no future. Past and the present are the same thing.”
The trailer sees Prince Charles tell his wife: “There has to be two of you. There’s the real one, and the one they take pictures of.”
Stewart, as Diana, states: “There’s no hope for me. Not with them.”
The emotional clip offers a deeper look at the main cast Stewart performs alongside: Jack Farthing as Prince Charles, Stella Gonet as Queen Elizabeth II, Timothy Spall as Equerry Major Gregory, and Sally Hawkins as Diana’s staff member and ally Maggie.
The official synopsis from production company NEON reads: “The marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles has long since grown cold.
“Though rumours of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate. There’s eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game.
“But this year, things will be profoundly different. Spencer is an imagining of what might have happened during those few fateful days.”
Premiering at the Venice International Film Festival earlier this month, the psychological drama has already received rave reviews, getting a laudable 80% on Rotten Tomatoes.
There has already been wide praise for Kristen Stewart’s impeccable English accent, as well as Diana’s mannerisms and personality.
One review called it Stewart’s “most dazzling and intricate performance to date”.
