Princess Diana Sep 1 (THAINDIAN NEWS) According to a report in the ‘Daily Mail’, a new lingerie as which was released in China yesterday (August 31) depicting a bra and panty clad Princess Diana look-alike has caused quite an uproar among the British, with insult added to injury by the fact that the ad campaign was released on the thirteenth anniversary of her death.

All over England yesterday, citizens were leaving bouquets and trinkets outside of Kensington Palace in honor of Princess Diana on the anniversary of the date on which a tragic car crash took her life in Paris, France.

But in Shenzen, China, it was an entirely different scene as photos of a Diana look alike were posted all over the airport in a Princess Diana themed lingerie ad campaign which was launched by a company known as ‘Jealousy International’.

The photos feature the name of the new lingerie ‘Diana’ in large red letters, and urge customers to ‘Feel the Romance of British Royalty’ by wearing ‘Diana’ underwear. The model who is posing as the British Princess is shown wearing her bra and panties, playing the cello with her eyes cast down, looking at a child nearby.

A British journalist who saw the image as he was at the airport was very upset by the ad. Sam Chambers stated, “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.”

    Princess Diana would not have approved or ever done a lingerie add! That is seen with disapproval!
