There’s been a lot of buzz about Kristen Stewart’s portrayal of Princess Diana in the film Spencer,
but now that it's official full trailer was just released we got to hear Kristen’s take
on Lady D’s accent and it’s actually pretty spot on! — let’s get into it
Ever since it was announced that Kristen Stewart would be taking on the role of the late Princess
Diana in the biopic Spencer, the American actress has been under a lot of scrutiny as
to whether her onscreen British-ness was up to par with that of a royal.
And after the release of the film’s first full-length trailer earlier today,
Kristen is being met with plenty of fanfare over her portrayal of Lady Di,
right down to her unique accent.
In the trailer we find Kristen as Diana
tormented with the predicament of ending her marriage to Prince Charles.
It’s worth noting that the movie isn’t an entirely accurate account of the events, but
rather an imagining of what may have transpired during that fateful month of December in 1991.
Just seconds into the teaser we hear Kristen say her first words in Diana’s breathy voice:
"Three days… That’s it...”
And towards the end of the teaser we get to see Kristen fully adopt Diana’s
body language as she delivers this goosebump-inducing line:
"Will they kill me, you think?”
Fans quickly took to Twitter to react to Kristen’s British accent like this person who wrote,
"Kristen’s accent in the trailer is perfect!!!"
This other fan said,
"uhm besties I need to calm down kristen stewart’s british accent has me acting up"
And Kristen was well-aware that people would be paying really close attention to her voice
in the film, as she recently told InStyle magazine, quote, “The accent is intimidating
as all hell because people know that voice, and it’s so, so distinct and particular.”
Kristen also told the LA Times that despite having a dialect coach help her prepare for the role, and
even going to school to study Diana’s posture, she wanted her performance to come across as organic.
She went on to say, “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.”
Well it sure paid off because from what we’ve seen
she really brought Diana back to life onscreen and according to many critics,
she might’ve even just delivered an Oscar-worthy performance, come next year.
Spencer is slated for a November 5th release and we can’t wait to
see K-Stew’s portrayal of this tragic story come to life.
