One of India’s top newspapers faced a social media backlash on Tuesday after it splashed a picture across its front page of Britain’s Princess Kate suffering a “Marilyn moment” as her dress rose up in the wind.

Readers accused the Times of India of being disrespectful to the Duchess, who was wearing a white 1950s-style dress reminiscent of the one in the iconic Marilyn Monroe photo as she laid a wreath at the India Gate war memorial with her husband, Prince William.

‘Times of India’ was one of the top trending topics on Twitter on Tuesday morning as users questioned the paper’s judgement in picturing the Duchess inadvertently flashing an expanse of royal thigh.

“Sleazy journalism at its best,” tweeted reader Shagun in response to the image, which was accompanied by the headline “Kate’s Marilyn moment at India Gate”.

“Well done Times of India! Our guests come to India and this is the photo you decide to put on your front page…” tweeted another.

Many recalled an incident last year in which the paper was strongly criticised for promoting video footage of a top Bollywood actress with a tweet that read “OMG! Deepika Padukone’s cleavage show”.
