It is most certainly eye-catching, according to the adverts.
The weird promotion urges people to “Feel the Romance of British Royalty’, and is on billboards in China by lingerie company Jealously International.
The anniversary of Diana’s death on August 31, 1997 was marked by the lingerie company by unveiling a new range at Shenzen airport in China.
The model in the role of Diana is wearing only bra and knickers, holding a cello and bow while she looks down a young child.
Sam Chambers, a British journalist who has just seen the images was shocked. He said, ‘I was just going to collect my baggage from the carousel when I saw it flash up on a rolling advertising screen and couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing.’
‘I thought, surely not, because it was rolling quite quickly. So I waited to check when it came up again and, sure enough, there was an image of Diana.
‘It’s all the more striking because today is the anniversary of her death,’ he added.
The lingerie company website has a section on the Diana range featuring the slogan: ‘Free your mind, free your style’.
Various firms are always trying to fully exploit the princess’s popularity and glamor.
Should the lingerie company remove the ads? Who in the hell plays cello in their bra and panties in front of a child? Is lingerie ad of Princess Diana offensive?
