Monaco royals miffed over film about Princess Grace

Prince Albert, along with his sisters, Princess Stephanie and Princess Caroline, have said that the upcoming film contains ‘purely fictional scenes’.

MONACO’s ROYAL FAMILY has criticized a feature film about the late Princess Grace, saying it presents a glamorized and inaccurate view of her life.

Prince Albert and his sisters, Princess Stephanie and Princess Caroline, issued a statement saying the film about their mother – the former Grace Kelly – contained major historical inaccuracies and “purely fictional scenes.”

The royals rebuffed a report in Paris Match magazine claiming the palace supported the film, “Grace of Monaco.”

The movie stars Nicole Kidman as the Hollywood icon, who married Monaco’s Prince Rainier II in 1956. The princess died in 1982, aged 52.

The statement said the family had “absolutely no association” with the film. It said the filmmakers had ignored the palace’s requests for changes to the script.

    At least the fascist Salvini and his rosary beads are gone, that sure back-fired on the Mini Mussolini.

    @Mairead1990: When the inevitable collapse happens, we’ll see what Italians think of Salvini & his immigration stance. I get the feeling he’s playing the long game especially if the present coalition fall back into being subservient to EU ambitions.

    It’s Italy. Don’t like the government? wait a few months. No wonder it’s a basket case.

    @GrahamMManning: it’s a basket case because first it was a threat to German industry and once the Lira was gone they couldn’t compete. All to do with the EU. Italy is a great country with great people and watching its demise is sickening.
