Princess Diana is having another pop culture moment as new projects explore her mental health struggles
In the new movie “Spencer,” Kristen Stewart’s Princess Diana muses about her legacy: “I’ve been imagining how they’ll write about me in a thousand years,” she says. “If I do ever become Queen, what will I be? Insane?”
Released on Friday, the film, which calls itself more of a fable than biopic, takes place over Christmas 1991 at the Sandringham Estate, one of Queen Elizabeth II’s country homes. Director Pablo Larraín depicts the Princess of Wales slowly unraveling: throwing up after meals; pinching the skin on her arm with a pair of wire cutters until she bleeds; standing at the top of a flight of stairs ready to jump before the ghost of Anne Boleyn appears to stop her.
