Princess Diana comic sparks controversy
Bluewater Productions' Princess Diana comic book has been criticised for documenting events related to her death, according to the Daily Express.

Female Force: Princess Diana is a biographic one-shot that chronicles the most significant incidents in the star's life. It has been branded "disgusting" for showing the Parisian tunnel where she died and her sons mourning at her funeral.

"It's disgusting. Their feeble excuse is that they wanted to show the young people of America her life. They could have done it with lovely stories. They didn't need to stoop to this," said Margaret Funnell, co-founder of the Diana Circle UK memorial group.

"I find it quite cruel them showing the funeral. Had she lived until she was 85 and had a lovely life, that would be different. This girl lost her life in her prime.

"Comic means something to laugh at. I don't find it at all comical and I wish they hadn't done it. Anyone with half a brain who had a love for Diana will hate it."

The book also includes her parents' divorce, her marriage to Prince Charles and her relationship with Dodi Fayed.

Bluewater's Female Force series has previously featured Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama and Twilight author Stephanie Meyer.

Female Force: Princess Diana is on sale now.
