Spencer: Official Trailer After the first poster for the upcoming film was released, fans were eagerly waiting for the trailer, in which Stewart's take on Princess Diana's British accent would be revealed. But it appears that the companies behind Spencer, Neon and Topic Studios, want to keep people guessing since Stewart only utters two words in the minute-long trailer.

Every fairy tale ends.

Kristen Stewart is Diana Spencer.

The synopsis According to Variety, the movie, directed by Jackie filmmaker Pablo Larrain, is set in 1991 and takes place over the Christmas holiday as Diana (born Diana Frances Spencer) grapples with the decision to end her marriage to Prince Charles (Jack Farthing). Spencer isn't entirely true-to-fact but rather serves as an imagining of what might have happened during that fateful holiday period.

They know everything, Sally Hawkins, who plays an undisclosed role that appears to be a confidant to the Princess of Wales, tells Diana in the trailer. She responds: They don't.

Even though not much is said, the teaser ultimately offers a captivating glimpse into the life at the Queen's Sandringham Estate, one that includes lavish meals and stunning attire. In the footage, Stewart becomes increasingly emotional as she grapples with rumours of affairs and evades the paparazzi.
