The Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex have unveiled a statue to mark what would have been Princess Diana’s 60th birthday.
Prince William and Prince Harry reunite to unveil statue of Princess Diana. They say: “Every day, we wish she were still with us.” Our full report from today
Prince William and Harry unveil a statue of their mother Princess Diana. The brothers hope the statue captures their mother’s ‘warmth, elegance and energy’ as well as the ‘impact she had on so many people’.
A crowd had gathered in the public park outside Kensington Palace but in the secluded garden away from anyone’s gaze, a small group watched the moment Prince William and Prince Harry unveiled the statue of their late mother, Princess Diana.
The statue had been covered in a dark green cloth as the brothers arrived – they were chatting to one another as they did so.
The Sunken Garden was tranquil and calm and only Diana’s sons, her siblings and those in charge of the statue’s design were there to watch as the brothers pulled away the cover.
They did it together.
That in itself was no small matter, given everything the Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex have been through in recent months.
Princess Diana's sons come together for the first time since April to unveil a statue of her at Kensington Palace, saying they hope it will be "seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy".
