Filming on Spencer began several weeks ago and early promotional pics of Stewart as Diana blew fans away. With her hair in a short blond bob, the American actress is the spitting image of the late royal.
The movie depicts a fictionalized version of a weekend in the early 1990s when Diana decides that her marriage to Prince Charles is over. As such the movie addresses the breakdown of her problem-plagued 15-year marriage to Prince Charles.
The main filming location is the Schloss Marquardt in Potsdam, a castle which is being used as a fill-in for the royals’ Sandringham Estate.

The script was written by English screenwriter Steven Knight and is said to take place over three days during Christmas at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England.
According to the director, who has also written Peaky Blinders, the film involves the moments Diana realized she, “needed to veer from a path that put her in line to one day be queen.”
But according to royal biographers Robert Jobson and Ingrid Seward, Diana had stopped visiting the estate prior to the period in which the drama is set.
Robert told True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat, “I don’t even think she was there that weekend. She wasn’t even at Sandringham, on this supposed weekend.”
Keep in mind that the movie is a fictionalized version of the late royal’s life and everything should be ok.
