Who joined William and Harry at the Diana statue unveiling?
Diana's Spencer siblings  The guest list was tight as the Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex revealed their long-awaited statue of Diana, Princess of Wales. Kensington Palace billed it as a small event and a very personal moment for the family. Here is the list of the 13 people who joined William and Harry for the brief ceremony:  1. Earl Spencer  Dianas younger brother Charles  uncle to William and Harry  has defended the memory and legacy of his sister since her death in a Paris car crash 24 years ago.

At the princess funeral, the earl gave a controversial eulogy which was seen as an attack on the royal family. He vowed to Diana in his speech that her blood family would do all they could to protect William and Harry so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned. 2. Lady Sarah McCorquodale  Dianas formidable older sister Lady Sarah was a member of the six-person statue committee, tasked with commissioning the monument and privately raising funds. Lady Sarah was previously the High Sheriff of Lincolnshire (Chris Radburn/PA)  She briefly dated the Prince of Wales in the 1970s, and is said to have introduced Diana to Charles. Lady Sarah, who is the former High Sheriff of Lincolnshire, has remained close to her royal nephews, and attended the christening of Harrys son Archie in 2019. 3. Lady Jane Fellowes  Dianas other sister Lady Jane was also at Archies christening and gave the only reading at Harry and Meghans wedding. Lady Jane Fellowes (Arthur Edwards/The Sun/PA)  She is married to the Queens former private secretary Lord Robert Fellowes. It was suggested that Lord Fellowes became hostile to Diana after her divorce because of his position, but he told the inquest into her death that he was always fond of her. 4. Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton  The former SAS Major served as William and Harrys top aide, their principal private secretary, for eight years, and was chair of the statue committee. Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton speaking at a reception for the Endeavour Fund (James Veysey/PA)  Quiet, calm and discreet, he was held in such high regard by William and the Duchess of Cambridge that his son Billy was a pageboy at their wedding, and Mr Lowther-Pinkerton was later asked to be a godfather to Prince George. He was also equerry to William and Harrys great grandmother, the Queen Mother, in the 1980s. 5. Julia Samuel  Also a godparent of Prince George, the psychotherapist, who founded the Child Bereavement UK charity, was one of Dianas best friends.

He is director of the Sladmore Contemporary gallery, which specialises in sculpture, and has written on its website: My personal obsession is with sculpture and objects, the power of making and the joy found in a sense of the artists hand.  8. Guy Monson  Guy Monson, also on the committee, is a city financier and a trustee of the Invictus Games Foundation, founded by Harry. He was on the organising committee for its inaugural games in 2014.
