William and Harry appeared in good spirits throughout the event on Thursday July 1, laughing and joking with their guests and appearing at ease in each others company. They both seemed interested in the changes to the garden, pointing to the beds filled with a range of flowers and plants, some their mother loved, as they chatted to their guests. The figure of the princess, who would have celebrated her 60th birthday on the day of the unveiling, is surrounded by three children and depicts Diana, with short cropped hair, in the later years of her life. Kensington Palace has not identified them but said the statue aims to reflect Dianas warmth, elegance and energy, while the children represent the universality and generational impact of the princesss work. It added: The portrait and style of dress was based on the final period of her life as she gained confidence in her role as an ambassador for humanitarian causes and aims to convey her character and compassion.  The royal brothers made no speeches during the ceremony, with the statue standing as their testimony to their mother. Sculptor Ian Rank-Broadleys artwork was erected in the palaces Sunken Garden, one of the places Diana loved most at the Palace. The space has been redesigned during the past two years and features more than 4,000 individual flowers, including forget-me-nots which were adored by the princess.

We wanted to capture her warmth and humanity while showcasing the impact she had across generations. I hope that people will enjoy visiting the statue and the Sunken Garden, and taking a moment to remember the princess.  With Dianas siblings watching, William and Harry pulled away a green cloth covering the monument which will forever remind visitors to her former home of Kensington Palace about its most famous resident. They stood either side of the statue looking at the memorial, with Harry resting his hands on his hips. William and Harry, who looked smart in dark suits with ties, arrived a few minutes early for the unveiling and stopped in a shrub-lined path outside the garden to chat to the chairman of the statue committee Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton. Harry let out a laugh of appreciation when he saw his mothers siblings and older brother William, who was a step ahead, greeted Lady Sarah McCorquodale kissing her on both cheeks and went on to warmly welcome his aunt Lady Jane Fellowes and uncle Earl Spencer.

'  Covid restrictions had reduced the number of guests to just 13 and most were gathered between the gardens side entrance and the statue, erected at the end of a large rectangle ornamental pond. Members of the statue committee who were tasked in 2017 with commissioning and privately raising funds for the creation of the statue stood nearby. Harry and William chatted informally with the guests, who included the Sunken Gardens designer Pip Morrison, Kensington Palace head gardener Gary James, and Graham Dillamore, deputy head of gardens and estates at Historic Royal Palaces. In their statement afterwards, William and Harry added: 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 mothers memory alive.
