Female-focused films are quite in trend now. And with the release of Kristen Stewart’s Spencer, viewers are developing their interest in this particular genre. While films like Jackie are there to seek motivation, The Duchess and other similar films are full of royal period drama.

With that being said, Spencer is a story about the late Princess Diana who was beloved by many. Even today, 20 years after her demise, people love her for the person she was. And to depict her life and her story, many biopics, fictionalized dramas, and even music videos try to portray her in the scene. It is Kristen Stewart who is playing the titular role in Spencer. While the actor received multiple types of reviews for her role, Stewart is possibly going to get nominated for the Best Actress in the next Academy Awards.

While Princess Diana is not the only one on the list, various high-profile women are there to seek both motivation and entertainment. With that said, these are the best four female-focused films that are almost similar to Spencer –
