Princess Diana has become an unlikely figure of festive farce as a pricey Christmas ornament from upscale British department store Selfridges is being derided online. Yet the glass decoration, measuring roughly 12cm by 9cm, has triggered a wave of disbelief among shoppers who claim the likeness is closer to the late pop star George Michael or an assortment of British TV personalities.
A source familiar with Selfridges' seasonal team defended the product, saying: ⁘The intention was to celebrate Diana's enduring place in British culture. We knew the design would be playful, but we didn't expect this level of backlash.⁘ Another insider said: ⁘The team worked from classic photographs, and the sweater was chosen because it's instantly recognizable.
