Princess Diana's relationship with her stepmother Raine Spencer was one of the most complicated relationships inside the Spencer family.
When Raine married Diana's father, John Spencer, in 1976, Diana was still a teenager. The relationship quickly became strained, and Raine became known inside the family as “Acid Raine.”
But the story did not end there.
Years later, after John Spencer's death and as Diana's own marriage to Prince Charles began collapsing, something unexpected happened.
Diana and Raine reconciled.
The woman Diana had once rejected became someone she trusted. Raine later recalled Diana sitting on her sofa and telling her about the pressures in her life.
This documentary explores the complete story—from Diana's childhood and her parents' divorce, to Raine's arrival at Althorp, the bitter family conflicts, the transformation of the Spencer estate, the reconciliation, and the final years of Diana's life.
Using historical records, contemporary reporting, later interviews and documented family recollections, we separate the established history from stories that remain disputed.
