What's left behind the scenes
- Filming took place in London, from January to March 2007.
- According to director Roger Donaldson, the most difficult scene to shoot was the one in the brothel, where, according to the script, the women were supposed to be wearing only garters. It turned out that the women had shaved their pubic areas, which was unsuitable considering the story takes place in 1971. They had to create special pubic hairpieces from artificial hair, but keeping them in place proved difficult, and they kept falling off.
- The film is based on real events from the life of Margaret (1930-2002), Princess of Great Britain, Countess of Snowdon – on the story of her love affairs with Jamaicans in the 1970s and the story with photographs hidden in a bank vault.
- According to cinematographer Roger Deakins, the most difficult scene to film was the one in the brothel where, according to the script, the women were to wear only garters. It turned out that the women had shaved their pubic areas, which was inappropriate given that the story takes place in 1971. They had to create special pubic hair pieces from synthetic hair, but securing them proved difficult, and the pieces kept falling off.
