The Life of Di

Kearra Austin, Staff Writer

Diana Spencer, former princess of Wales, had a lot of movies and shows made about her. As of now there have been five films or series made about her. A new movie was just made about her called “Spencer”. It takes a look into her relationship with Prince Charles and her children. In the movie they focus a lot on her and the way she acted at the time. 

Spencer had a terrible life living with the royal family. She was seen very differently from everyone else. She struggled with bulimia her whole life. The movie shows that she cares a lot about her body image. I never got to see how she really acted when cameras weren’t around, but I do feel like they really were on point with the movie. 

Prince Charles acted very poorly towards Diana. He didn’t listen to her when she said what to do with her kids. In the movie, they showed how she was seen as an outcast. Prince Charles yelled at her a few times in the movie  for the smallest things and treated her really badly. The movie showed that she didn’t really seem to like where she lived and who she was married to. A lot of times she just wanted to leave.

When she tried to go back to her childhood home, it was boarded up and she wasn’t allowed inside. Nothing was stopping her from going inside her home though, so she forced her way in. While she was inside, she tried to end her life. 

Overall, the movie was amazing. The acting was great, and I loved it. The things that stuck with me the most are how she really didn’t like where she was, and she wanted to end it at one point.  

They had Kristen Stewart play Princess Diana, and she did an amazing job. The cast overall did an amazing job playing their roles in the movie. I would highly recommend it if you like learning about Princess Diana and her story.  The movie might not have been 100 percent true, but it was mainly based on rumors about the Royal Family at the time.  They did an amazing job creating a great movie that I would consider seeing again.
