'We Wish She Were Still With Us': Prince William & Prince Harry Look At Ease As They Unveil Statue Of Princess Diana
On July 1, estranged brothers Prince William and Prince Harry reunited to debut a statue of their late mother, Princess Diana.
The big debut! On July 1, Prince William and Prince Harry came together to showcase a statue of their late mother, Princess Diana.
Despite their rift, the brothers had smiles on their faces as they pulled an emerald green curtain off the monument, which pictured the People's Princess with her arms around two children, with another child in back of her.
Kensington Palace revealed that the statue, which is located at the Sunken Garden, also had an extra special touch.
"Beneath the statue is a plinth engraved with The Princess’ name and the date of the unveiling," they said. "In front of the statue is a paving stone engraved with an extract after the poem The Measure of A Man which featured in the programme for the 2007 memorial service for The Princess."
The united brothers released a joint statement of their own.
"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 shared. "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 her legacy."
Added the duo, "Thank you to Ian Rank-Broadley, Pip Morrison and their teams for their outstanding work, to the friends and donors who helped make this happen, and to all those around the world who keep our mother’s memory alive."
Also in attendance was Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, and her sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Jane Fellowes. Other members of the royal family weren't allowed to come due to COVID-19 protocols, though it was reported that William wanted to show the figure to wife Kate Middleton and their three kids.
William and Harry are expected to meet privately after the ceremony to try and make amends.
