Is Spencer Based On True Events?

You may have noticed the film is called an “imagining” of events that may have transpired during one of the most turbulent times in Princess Diana’s life.

While the film, created by Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín, has become acclaimed for its gripping narrative, viewers are given a warning in the opening scenes that it is not entirely fact, rather “a fable from a true tragedy". 

Instead of recounting what many fans already know, Spencer digs deeper into the isolation and paranoia the Princess endured, depicting troubling scenes of self-harm and bulimia. 

“She was really honest about her relationship with her body and food,” Stewart revealed in a recent interview with marieclaire Australia.

“And this feeling that she wanted to disappear, that she was just diminishing, that she was wasting away, it became so physical for her. To live inside a female body, an unacknowledged, muzzled female body, is a violent experience and it is not easy to talk about. It’s a complicated matter, obviously. But she was really vocal about it. And so we had to go there.”
