A poster advertising the new movie “Diana” has been removed after controversy erupted over its placement. The image, featuring actress Naomi Watts, was on display near the entrance to the metro tunnel in Paris where the Princess of Wales was killed in a car crash along with her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, in 1997.
“It was requested that the poster be removed Monday afternoon, and we received confirmation that it had been removed Monday evening,” movie distributor Le Pacte told The Hollywood Reporter. According to the publication, Le Pacte had asked advertising corporation JCDecaux to take down the 4-by-6 foot poster, MSNBC informs.
Rosa Monckton, whom the Daily Mail identifies as one of Diana’s “most trusted confidantes,” called the placement of the ad for the movie “despicable.”
