The Princess of Wales was aged just 36 when she died in a Paris car crash on August 31, 1997, five years after she separated from Prince Charles and two years after their official divorce. Now, Kristen Stewart is set to play Princess Diana in a new biopic, Spencer.
The new film is set to be released on November 5 but, days before the 24th anniversary of Diana’s death, the first official trailer was dropped.
However, it has sparked outrage from royal fans calling for Diana to be allowed to “rest in peace”.
One person tweeted: “Will they ever let this woman Rest In Peace????”
Another echoed: “So sickening, can you all not just leave her to rest in peace?”
A third said: “Glorifying the most painful moments in Diana’s life.
“Let her Rest In Peace.”
A fourth commented: “It’s really sad to see people continuing to exploit her private life with these fictional accounts of various personal moments.
“It is incredibly disrespectful to her memory.

In the footage, Ms Stewart, dressed to the nines at all times, becomes increasingly emotional as she grapples with rumors of affairs and evades ruthless paparazzi.
Ms Stewart only speaks two words in the teaser trailer.
“They know everything,” Sally Hawkins, who plays an undisclosed role that appears to be a confidant to the Princess of Wales, tells Diana.
Despite losing her royal title and many of her patronages, Diana continued her work as a humanitarian and backed causes close to her heart.
Shortly before her death, Diana visited Bosnia and Angola, where she was photographed walking through a minefield wearing a visor and bomb-proof vest.
Diana was also the first member of the Royal Family to shake hands with a man who had HIV.
She did so without gloves, publicly challenging the notion that HIV/Aids was passed from person to person by touch.
