"I was 13 when I watched her get married to Charles, and that did seem like the classic fairy tale at the time," she says. "I watched her transformation into this global superstar, into this gorgeous bundle of trouble that she became. And in the years after her death, I sometimes wondered ... 'What if she hadn't died? What would she have been like in her 40s and beyond?' "
So Ali pulled from true stories about Diana's life and worked to make her fictional disappearance credible.
"I remember reading quite a lot about how Diana loved to go out in disguise in London, and she'd walk about delighted if nobody recognized her ... for instance, going out in a dark wig and glasses," she says. "So I guess I took my cue from those stories and ramped them up."
