How can I visit the Princess Diana statue?
A statue to honour Princess Diana has been unveiled at Kensington Palace on what would have been her 60th birthday. The ceremony saw her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, come together at the late Princess of Wales' former London home to mark the occasion. Designed by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, the statue is located in the palace's redesigned Sunken Garden  one of Diana's favourite spots on the estate. It was commissioned by William and Harry in 2017 to mark the 20th anniversary of their mother's death. The garden is also home to memorials of King William III and Queen Victoria. Although members of the public were not able to attend the official unveiling due to coronavirus restrictions, the statue will be able to be visited from Friday, July 2. Kensington Gardens are open to the public from 6am every day. The closing time varies throughout the year, but it remains at 9.30pm until Sunday 18 July. Times after this date can be found here. Entrance is free to everyone and no ticket is required.
