At the end of the day, the late royal didn't spark curiosity in the actress playing her, but compassion."If I could go back in time or have her back for a moment and ask her anything, I wouldn’t," Stewart toldin a new interview."I’d just be like, 'Dude, can I hang out with you? Do you want to just be together for a moment?' She needed that so badly."
Stewart also explained that she anticipated intense media scrutiny and photographers following her when she took on the role of Diana—and she felt strongly that she had to protect both herself and the woman she was portraying."I depersonalized it completely and did feel utterly protective of [Diana] in that moment. I was like, 'F**k off,'" she said."I developed a very genuinely protective relationship with this person that I obviously never met.
But Stewart also recognized the paradox of her having leaned into facts like these to create an authentic on-screen Diana."Also it’s a weird thing to talk about because I’m sitting here sort of eating up these details and very thankful that they exist," she said."Actually, in kind of attacking her character, these stories are only revealing the sh*tty situation that she was living in. In retrospect, I’m like, 'Good, everyone tell your [Diana] story.
