Chilean director Pablo Larrain follows a transformative Stewart as the troubled princess reluctantly joining the royals for a three-day Christmas gathering at Sandringham House as her marriage to Prince Charles breaks down. In the film, Diana is constantly late for dinner, often leaves the table abruptly to vomit because of her eating disorder, and grows frustrated and erratic as maids and the palace equerry keep telling her what to do. The royals are referred to as "they" or "them", and Diana only briefly speaks to the Queen or Prince Charles, preferring instead to confide with her dresser or with the cook. Larrain, whose previous movies include "Jackie", a biopic about Jackie Kennedy, said he had been drawn to telling the story of Diana because it was an upside-down fairytale. "This is the story of a princess who decided to move away from the idea of becoming a queen because she wants to be herself."
