The Daily Telegraph reports
Monaco’s royal family have slammed Nicole Kidman's new biopic of Grace Kelly as "inaccurate" and "pure fiction."
Kidman plays the Hollywood star-turned-royalty Grace Kelly in Grace of Monaco, which follows the Hollywood icon as she struggles to come into her own as a princess in 1962 Monaco.
But Monaco’s Prince Albert and his sisters Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie denounced the new film as "pointlessly glamourised and historically inaccurate" in a scathing letter attacking the project, the Daily Mail reports.
The royals were sent copies of the script, but refused to support the film. Instead, they stressed they want nothing to do with the film.
"We have had absolutely no association with this project which claims to be about the lives of our parents”, the royal siblings wrote.
"For us, this film does not constitute a biographical work, but portrays only a part of her life and has been pointlessly glamourised, and contains important historical inaccuracies as well as scenes of pure fiction."
Kidman has in the past defended the controversial film, saying she was drawn to the role of Princess Grace because the film "reveals her great humanity but also her fears and frailties as she leaves her career behind.”
