A FRENCH youth group has been slammed for using an image of Princess Diana’s car crash in an online campaign.

Pro-euthanasia ADMD shared a poster on social media that recreated the horrific scene in a Paris tunnel in August 1997.

The name “Diana” sits over an image of a mangled car, with the words: “She did not choose her death…in 2024, we should have the choice.”

It has sparked an outpouring of fury amid a debate in France over assisted dying.

Ex-royal spokesman Dickie Arbiter said: “This is absolutely obscene and outrageous. This is a gross politicisation of a tragedy.

“Anyone who knew Diana, Princess of Wales will be deeply upset. To mock something so graphic up of that awful moment is grotesque.”

The image was posted on Thursday on X, formerly Twitter, and has been taken down.

ADMD also planned to depict the death of Joan of Arc with a burning stake, as well as pop star Claude François who was electrocuted in a bath as he changed a bulb.

The group later apologised for the choice of images.

French President Emmanuel Macron has backed new end-of-life legislation.
