"It was very scary going into it," said the 43-year-old Australian actress at Cannes. "It was interesting getting to know her as I did all the research. "She is a fascinating woman who led an extraordinary but short life. The most fun part of it is the research. It was daunting because everyone feels they know her so well so you want to get it perfect. It's not an impression, it's an interpretation.
"It's also more complicated and sensitive when you take into account her two boys, William and Harry. I want to do her justice and help tell her story truthfully. "Naomi, who starred in 2012 film The Impossible, said, "It is such an honour to be able to play this iconic role.
"Princess Diana was loved across the world and I look forward to rising to the challenge of playing her on screen.
