A film, partly shot in Norfolk, has had its premiere.

Spencer, which is said to focus on a weekend in the early 1990s when the late Princess Diana decided her marriage to Prince Charles was over, was screened at the London Film Festival last night (7 October).

Featuring scenes in Hunstanton, Old Hunstanton and Shropham, it'll be in cinemas on 5 November.

Kristen Stewart plays the late Princess of Wales whom she's admitted she's very fond of. She hopes Diana's sons, Princes William and Harry will know she approached the role with sensitivity and empathy:

"I'm pretty obsessed with her. We came to this with a lot of curiosity and they've endured that curiosity worldwide their whole lives and so I'm sure they're used to it, but that it's not their favourite thing."

Kristen admitted getting the accent right was a challenge:

"I'm mean she's so specific and so bubbly and buoyant, something about the Southern Californian accent falls out of your mouth like a brick and she just bubbles. So I think just lightening up was the focus."

Jack Farthing, who stars as the Prince of Wales in the biopic outlines his take on the movie:

"This is an imagining of a moment, it's a poem more than it is a document of them. It's something about the spirit of a moment, more than it says something about them specifically, I think."
