On November 20, the Grévin Museum in central Paris unveiled a new wax figure of Princess Diana. Photos of the exhibit instantly appeared online and immediately drew the attention of royal fans. For the look, the museum chose her legendary “revenge dress” — the very one Diana wore in public after Charles admitted to cheating.
The date of the presentation was symbolic as well: it was on November 20 that the Princess gave her explosive BBC interview, openly speaking about her husband’s betrayal. It seemed like the perfect moment to honor her memory with a stylish and accurate representation.
But the internet was far from impressed. Users sharply criticized the figure, claiming it barely resembles Diana. “The face is not hers at all,” “The sculptor must have seen another woman,” “Diana didn’t look like this even when she was older,” commenters wrote, discussing the strange features and lack of likeness.
Princess Diana died in 1997 at the age of 36. For her admirers, this makes the criticism even sharper — they believe the new figure “ages Diana and erases the gentle, warm expression she was so loved for.”
