“It became clear that we weren’t going to actually find anywhere or want to find anywhere that really looked like Sandringham,” Dyas says of the Norfolk, England, estate where the royal family spends several days during the Christmas holidays. Ultimately, for the exterior, he selected Nordkirchen Castle in the North Rhine-Westphalia state of Germany. “We wanted this opulent and austere space that on perhaps the first look gave you sort of the ‘wow factor’ of how royalty live.
A deep red snooker table became central to the scene. “You never have a snooker table that’s red — a snooker table is always green,” explains Dyas. “It’s just absolute sacrilege to do this. … I pleaded and begged these experts from England to refurbish this incredibly beautiful snooker table into red.”
The production designer also focused on the importance of food within the production. “Diana was dealing with bulimia, as we all know, at this time, a very serious disease. And we struggled a lot, Pablo and I, with how to present the food. We knew it had to look great. But just how great?” The production worked with two food stylists, says Dyas.
