In two weeks the highly anticipated film Grace of Monaco, starring Nicole Kidman, is slated to open at the Cannes Film Festival. However, there are some people who are not amused – namely the family the film depicts!
The film chronicles the life of Grace Kelly after she married Prince Rainier, the ruler of the principality of Monaco, and became Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco. The principality is now ruled by her son, Prince Albert and his wife, Princess Charlene – and they’ve issued yet another statement about the film, reminding viewers that they do not approve.
On the occasion of the upcoming screening of the film Grace of Monaco at the opening of the Cannes Festival on May 14 2014 and its release in theaters, the Prince’s Palace would like to reiterate that this feature cannot under any circumstances be classified as a biopic.
The trailer appears to be a farce and confirms the totally fictional nature of this film. It reinforces the certainty, left after reading the script, that this production, a page of the Principality’s history, is based on erroneous and dubious historical references. The director and producers refused to take into consideration the many observations made by the Palace because these called into question the entire script and the characters of the film.
The Princely family does not in any way wish to be associated with this film which reflects no reality and regrets that its history has been misappropriated for purely commercial purposes.
