Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Shun Late Princess Diana’s Statue Unveiling Ceremony

A statue of Princess Diana has been unveiled by the Duke of Cambridge and Sussex in the gardens of Kensington Palace today, to mark what would have been her 60th birthday.

Diana was married to Prince Charles, and was Prince William and Harry’s mum. She died in 1997.

Prince William and Harry reunited as they unveiled a statue of their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, on what would have been her 60th birthday.

However, the event is William and Harry’s first appearance together since the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral in April.

While William and Harry united at the event to honour their late mother, the Queen and Prince Charles did not attend the event.

The statue is placed in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace in London.

It was commissioned by William and Harry in 2017, and has been made by artist Ian Rank-Broadley, whose portrait of the Queen appears on all UK coins.

When the brothers commissioned it in 2017, Harry and William said: “Our mother touched so many lives. We hope the statue will help all those who visit Kensington Palace to reflect on her life and her legacy.”

Photograph of them standing next to one another at the ceremony were taken.

Prince Harry, who lives in the US with his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, and their two children, arrived in the UK last week in order to complete his quarantine ahead of Thursday’s event.

Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, was among those at the ceremony at Kensington Palace, Diana’s former home in London.

Kensington Palace revealed that, the Sunken Garden had been “one of the princess’s favourite locations” when she lived there.

According to BBC report, More than 4,000 flowers have been planted for the garden’s redesign, which has taken 1,000 hours to complete.

The garden, which sits within London’s Hyde Park, will be open to the public to visit for free from Friday, in line with Kensington Palace’s opening hours.
