In 1981, Lady Diana Spencer leapt into the nation's hearts and became the quintessential fairytale princess. But, as we all know, she did not get her happily-ever-after. Fast forward to 2021, and you'll find her losing her mind and running frantically through the hallways of Sandringham in Pablo Larraín's 2021 film, 'Spencer'. She has been fashioned into the ultimate Gothic heroine.

But how did we get here? In this video, I examine spooky 200-year-old literature to find out exactly how Diana transforms from fairytale princess to 'mad woman in the attic'.
