The featurette also depicts how Roberts created Margaret Thatcher's "extraordinary, hugely feminine" style as she "was obsessed with clothes", as well as the difficulties that went into Roberts and director Jessica Hobbs' journey for Princess Margaret, played by Helena Bonham Carter, in episode seven.
