I am surprised that this movie is just now being made since Princess Diana passed away in 1997.

I know part of it was the royal family asked for respect and space from the paparazzi after Diana's passing so that the princes could live their lives out of the public eye until they matured. My thought is that the royal family is in a much better place now with the marriage of William and Kate and the birth of Prince George, so maybe now they feel like it's okay to let someone tell part of Diana's story.

The biopic focuses on the last two years of Diana's life, and Naomi Watts plays the princess. Just as a side note, in case you didn't know, Watts was born in the UK.

The movie is out in the UK on September 20 and will make its way to the US on October 10.
