Aussie actress Naomi Watts portrays Princess Diana in biopic 'Caught in Flight'

The 43-year-old Australian actress Naomi Watts has recently landed in the upcoming biopic of Princess Diana "Caught in Flight" protraying the beloved figure. Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, with the screenplay written by Stephen Jeffreys, "Caught in Flight" will channel the Princess' latest two years of her life.

As previously rumored, Jessica Chastain was long reported to be taking the part, but perhaps Aussie Watts will be more comforting to our friends across the pond as she was born in England. The "King Kong" actress seems up for the task. Speaking of the role, Naomi said: "It is such an honor 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."

No word on how princes Harry or William feel about the forthcoming film, nor the sentiments of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge. While she may not speak on the portrayal, we know she's a fan of portraits.

Another Princess Diana biopic from producer Stephen Evans is reportedly in the works, with Charlize Theron or Carey Mulligan competing for the lead role.
