PRINCESS DIANA’S ‘WICKED’ STEPMOTHER, 9PM,, CH4

THE daughter of eccentric novelist Barbara Cartland, the late Raine Spencer grew up to become a politician, a countess (three times over) and a member of the extended Royal Family. But today, this formidable woman is best-remembered for being Princess Diana’s stepmother, doted on by Diana’s father, Johnnie Spencer, but loathed by his children. This absorbing documentary tells the story of Diana and Raine’s (pictured) turbulent relationship and their surprising reconciliation during Diana’s hour of need.
