Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ marriage has been dormant for a long time. Despite rumors of extramarital romances and divorce, the Christmas celebrations at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate are set to be peaceful. There’s shooting and hunting, as well as eating and drinking. Diana is well-versed in the game. This year, though, things will be very different. SPENCER is a fictitious account of what may have occurred during those tragic days.
