Monaco Royal family condemns ‘Grace of Monaco’ in open letter

The palace released a lengthy statement, saying the Nicole Kidman-starrer was “based on erroneous and dubious historical references” that the family didn’t want to be associated with, reported Ace Showbiz.

The Monaco royal family has fired off a letter that condemned ‘Grace of Monaco’ just days before the movie’s premiere at Cannes Film Festival.

The palace released a lengthy statement, saying the Nicole Kidman-starrer was “based on erroneous and dubious historical references” that the family didn’t want to be associated with, reported Ace Showbiz.

The Olivier Dahan-directed film has been scheduled to open the annual film festival on May 14.

“The Prince’s Palace would like to reiterate that this feature cannot under any circumstances be classified as a biopic,” a press release sent from the palace read.

“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after reading the script, that this production, a page of the Principality’s history, is based on erroneous and dubious historical references.
