HOLLYWOOD babe Naomi Watts is seeking Royal approval for her new starring role in a Princess Diana biopic.
The King Kong star admits she is terrified about how Princes William and Harry will react to her portrayal of their late mum.
Naomi, 44, who was born in Kent but brought up in Australia, says she feels “English at heart”.
Her role in the movie Diana will focus on the final two years of the princess’s life.
It covers the events leading up to Diana’s death in a Paris car crash in 1997, which led to an outpouring of grief around the globe.
The actress said: “I am not just nervous about how Diana’s sons will feel about this film.
“I am also concerned about how the whole country could react because we all have such strong, emotional memories of her death.
“I remember it vividly. I remember shrieking, letting out this almost guttural moan. It was so shocking, such a tragedy.”
The film is set to be released late next year. One reason Naomi was picked for the role is her striking resemblance to the late princess.
Naomi added: “Nobody I can think of has had to deal with the kind of intrusion Diana had to live with.
“There was never a private moment for her.”

If I were the Prince, I definitely wouldn't mind at all. :)
Tom Holland's brother playing Prince Harry, that's interesting!
She is going to be a great Diana! Such a talented actress.
