( CNN ) A photo of what appeared to be a homeless person reading a copy of Vogue has been deleted from the Instagram account of the style editor who posted it amid criticism that it showed how `` out of touch '' she is . Vogue style editor-at-large Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis , a member of German royalty who has been with the magazine since 2012 , posted the photo Saturday from Paris , where she is covering fashion week . `` Paris is full of surprises ... .and @ voguemagazine readers even in unexpected corners ! '' the caption read . Style news website Fashionista , which first reported on the picture , called it the latest example showing how `` disturbingly out of touch '' she is . `` ... The things she writes , both in Vogue and on social media , often straddle the line between entertaining/aspirational and disturbingly out of touch . On Saturday she crossed that line , '' the article said . Some commenters on the photo appeared to agree , calling the photo `` shameful , '' `` cruel '' and `` in poor taste . '' In response , von Thurn und Taxis , who often goes by `` TNT , '' posted the comment : `` Why cruel ? The person to me is as dignified as anyone else ! '' Others started coming to her defense , saying there was nothing wrong with the photo , before it disappeared from her feed about five hours after it was posted . Vogue and TNT did not immediately respond to CNN 's requests for comment . Do you think the photo crossed the line ? Let us know on this Facebook post .
