Diana Sculpture in the Kensington Palace
On her 60th birthday, a new statue of the late Princess Diana was unveiled in London by her sons Princes William and Harry. In 2017, on the 20th anniversary of her death, the brothers commissioned sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley.
They wanted to honor their mother by placing a sculpture in their childhood home, Kensington Palace. The memorial to the late princess includes three young children. It represents her selfless dedication to humanitarian and charitable work – and the significant impact she had on so many throughout her life.
Princess Diana Bronze Statue at Harrods
The innocent victims are bronze statues of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed. The sculpture was on display at Harrods in London, England, between 2005 and 2018. Dodi’s father, Mohammad Alfayed, commissioned the statue when he owned Harrods.
It depicts Diana and Dodi face to face as they hold a bird with outspread wings and dance across the waves of the Mediterranean. The statue has received considerable criticism for its aesthetic value, and is widely described by the media as “tacky” and “offensive”. The work has been returned to the Al-Fayed family.
Princess Diana Sculpture in Colwyn Bay, Wales
This sculpture by Merseyside artist Tom Murphy is not as well-known as other statues or monuments to the princess. He donated his work to Colwyn Bay in Wales. The life-size sculpture depicts the late princess relaxing during a visit to Angola, North Wales Live reported.
Statue of Princess Diana in Brookswich
The granite statue of Princess Diana was planned to go on display at the New Art Gallery in Walsall. But in the end, the polished statue was then put on display outside Andrew Walsh’s funeral on Brookswich Park Road. Stonemason Andrew Walsh sculpted the piece. He wants the princess statue to be prominently displayed in his hometown of Walsall, West Midlands. The £10,000 black granite statue was the centerpiece of a funeral exhibition at the NEC in May 2000 – Funeral Art Exhibition.
Princess Diana’s Tomb is in Althorp
Diana was buried on an island in the middle of Oval Lake, on her family estate, Althorp Estate. Her grave site is marked with a white memorial pedestal and urn.
