Spencer Writer Steven Knight on Princess Diana and Finding a Happy Ending

With director Pablo Larrain's Spencer now playing in theaters, I recently spoke with screenwriter Steven Knight about the making of their Princess Diana film. While based on real people and actual events, Knight’s script imagines what might have happened during a weekend celebrating the Christmas festivities at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate when Diana decided to leave Prince Charles and the royal family. Featuring one of Kristen Stewart’s best performances, the film has been getting fantastic reviews and I’d be surprised if her work and the film isn’t one of the players come award season.
