“Spencer,” the film starring Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana, will hit theaters Nov. 5, it was announced Tuesday.
Directed by Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín, “Spencer” takes place during a Christmas celebration at Queen Elizabeth’s Sandringham Estate toward the end of Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles.
“There’s eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game. But this year, things will be profoundly different,” a synopsis of the film reads. “‘Spencer’ is an imagining of what might have happened during those fateful few days.”
The first photo of Stewart as Diana was released in January.

Princess Diana was killed Aug. 31, 1997, in a car crash in Paris that took place as she was being pursued by paparazzi.
