like pablo laren Jackie (2016), which looks at the life of Jacqueline Kennedy in the weeks following the assassination of her husband, President John F. wig Lady Diana looks at an important period in her life.

It’s 1991 Christmas, which Lady Diana (Kristen Stewart) is spending with the royal family even as her marriage to Prince Charles (Jack Farthing) is unraveling. She seems to be nearing a nervous breakdown with bulimia attacks and episodes of self-harm. From the start, where she intentionally arrives late to try to enter her family’s home and take the jacket off the scarecrow, Diana feels like a barely-tolerable stranger at Sandringham, where the royals are celebrating Christmas.

Aside from her sons, William (Jack Nylen) and Harry (Freddie Spree), the rest of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth (Stella Gonet) and Prince Philip (Richard Sammel), are largely indifferent and cold to her. The only royal dresser, Maggie (Sally Hawkins) is kind and helpful.

The Equestrian, Major Alistair Gregory (Timothy Spall) tries to tell Diana that she has to do her duty like British soldiers who are willing to lay down their lives for the Queen and the country, and by extension. Diana tries to say that she doesn’t want anyone to die for her.

While reading a book on Anne Boleyn, which she finds near her bed, Diana identifies with the doomed queen (Amy Manson) to the extent of her dreaming. Seeing the famous third person at his wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles (Emma Darvall-Smith) with whom Charles is having an affair doesn’t help matters.

The acting awards must come in for Stewart’s performance as she creates a delicate and human Diana that goes beyond dazzling gowns and blonde bangs.
