Kristen Stewart stated that she believes in a “lingering energy” and claimed that she ‘took in Princess Diana’ for her Spencer role.
Speaking to The Guardian, the American Twilight star, 31, who is playing the Princess of Wales in the biopic, admitted her remarks ‘sounded kooky’ after suggesting she felt the royal’s presence.
She said: ‘I don’t know if I believe in anything. I don’t believe in ghosts, but I don’t not believe in ghosts. I believe in lingering energy. I took her in, even if it was my idea of her or if there was some literal remnant of me.
Kristen said, “It sounds strange to start talking about stuff such as this.” But there wasn’t a day that went by that I wasn’t like: “What does she think about this? I wonder if he can see me?”

The script was written by Steven Knight, an English screenwriter who also wrote Peaky Blinders. It follows the moments Diana realizes that she must’veer off a path which puts her in-line for one day to be Queen’.
A similar Christmas was shown on The Crown’s latest season, where Emma Corrin won widespread critical acclaim.

Kristen said, “When we put on that dress, it is embedded into a montage which kind of flashed her entire life before you.”
“Even though we only had three days to film the movie and even though I played her as a speculatively 29-year old person, we wanted to give an idea of the extent of her life.
“Kindness of touch on all parts, even if it wasn’t in lyrical dance. She continued, “And the wedding dress is embedded into that montage and putting it on was a spooky event.”
