Nicole Kidman’s new movie “Grace of Monaco” is finding itself under fire. The biopic about Grace Kelly, which is due to be unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival next week, is facing a major setback due to a statement issued on behalf of Grace Kelly’s children Prince Albert of Monaco and his sisters Princess Stephanie and Princess Caroline. The royal family of Monaco is not pleased by their recent representation on the big screen, according to the New York Daily News. The palace put out a statement slamming "Grace of Monaco” on Friday.

"On the occasion of the upcoming screening of the film 'Grace of Monaco' at the opening of the Cannes Festival on May 14 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 statement reads. "The trailer appears to be a farce and confirms the totally fictional nature of this film," the statement continued. "It reinforces the certainty, left after reading the script, that this production … is based on erroneous and dubious historical references." The statement concludes, "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.”

The "Grace of Monaco" trailer, which can be watched below, shows Grace Kelly’s ascent into royalty as goes from actress-turned-princess of Monaco. "Some of you ask, why did I leave Hollywood," she says in the trailer. "Well, I left because I fell in love with a charming prince." The official summary of the movie reads: The story of former Hollywood star Grace Kelly's crisis of marriage and her personal identity as an actress, during a political dispute between Monaco's Prince Rainier III and France's Charles De Gaulle, and a looming French invasion of Monaco in the early 1960s.
