The word "in spite" always comes with 'of' .... "in spite of" .....

Note: Its NOT "inspite of", the correct usage is "in spite of" ..... in other words inspite is not a word ...its two words "in spite"

despite and "in spite of" are similar in english, you can use them interchangeably.

Usage: They are used to indicate the fact that they are "taking no notice of" something.

- He went to school in spite of cold weather. (He didnt take notice of cold)

"in spite of" or "despite" can also be considered as opposites of "because" or "because of" ... in some ways.

 

Please do comment if I have missed anything.

So now I know they could be interchangeable, but when do I use ¨the fact that¨.  Is it after in spite of or after despite.... or both? And what is the grammatical rule?

In my opinion You can use "the fact that" with both of them.
