PRINCESS DIANA'S STATUE UNVEILED

The late Princess Diana's two sons reunited on Thursday to unveil a statue of her on what would have been her 60th birthday.

Prince William and Prince Harry commissioned the memorial statue back in 2017. It features the Princess with three children surrounding her, reflecting her warmth, elegance and energy.

The statue has been erected in the sunken garden at Kensington Palace. Beneath the statue is a plinth engraved with her name and the date of the unveiling, while a paving stone in front is engraved with an extract after the poem The Measure Of A Man. This was part of the programme for the 2007 memorial service for the Princess, reports Hello.

In a joint statement released by the two Princes, they 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".

This was the first time that the two brothers have reunited since they both attended the funeral of their grandfather, the late Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, in April.
