A magnificent statue of Princess Diana was unveiled at Kensington Palace, commemorating what would have been her 60th birthday.

The image, commissioned by Prince William and Harry in 2017, was revealed during an emotional and highly anticipated ceremony, held at the Sunken Garden in Kensington Palace as a tribute to Lady Di.

Prince Harry flew in from the US last Friday specifically to attend the event, which he had helped plan alongside his brother William four years ago.

Despite growing apart since the Sussexes’ departure from royal life last year, there is hope that this unique occasion will bring the two brothers closer together once again.

The statue itself is a beautiful sculpture of Diana with three children, symbolizing her humanity and unwavering dedication to helping young people.

Positioned on a plinth bearing Diana’s name and the date of the unveiling, the memorial stands tall in the Sunken Garden, known to be the late Princess of Wales’ favorite spot during her time at Kensington Palace.

Similar to Prince Philip’s funeral at Windsor Castle in April, the ceremony had to be scaled back due to Covid-19 regulations.

In attendance were William and Harry, along with Diana’s brother Earl Spencer, and her sisters Lady Sarah McCorkadale and Lady Jane Fellows.

Members of the statue commissioning committee were also present to pay their respects.

Diana’s untimely death at the age of 36 in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997, left the world in shock and created an irreplaceable void in the lives of the millions she touched.

The sculpture, crafted by renowned artist Ian Rank-Broadley, who has a long history of creating images of the royal family, was unveiled in the presence of distinguished guests.

Last year, both princes expressed their desire to acknowledge their mother’s positive impact in the UK and worldwide through this commemorative statue.

In a statement released by Kensington Palace, William and Harry said, “Today, on what would have been our mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength, and character—qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better.”

They continued, “Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and legacy.

We extend our gratitude to Ian Rank-Broadley, Pip Morrison, and their teams for their exceptional work, as well as to the friends and donors who helped bring this project to fruition.
