'I feel sort of the same way about her,' Kristen Stewart says about Princess Diana

Kristen Stewart is all set to step into the shoes of Princess Diana in her new movie Spencer.

While talking on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Stewart revealed how she prepared to essay the role of the late princess during her last days before death.

"I didn’t grow up with her maybe in the same way, I was really young when she passed away," Stewart said as she admitted to feeling "protective" of the royal. "I feel sort of the same way about her. It happened really quickly."

Talking about how she was young when Diana passed away after a fatal car crash, Steward said, "I was really young, [I] didn’t know what was going on," she said. "It’s hard not to feel protective of her. She was so young."

She continued, "I mean, everyone’s perspective is different and there’s no way to get anything right because what is fact in relation to personal experience."

"My movie takes place over three days, and it’s this really poetic internal imagining of what that might have felt like rather than giving new information," Stewart continued. "We kind of don’t have a mark to hit, we just also love her."
