Statue of Diana, Princess of Wales, Bronze statue in Sunken Garden, Kensington Palace, United Kingdom
The Statue of Diana, Princess of Wales, is a bronze sculpture in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace in London. The group shows the princess standing with three children, symbolizing her global work benefiting young people.
Prince William and Prince Harry commissioned the memorial in 2017 to honor their mother's memory. The unveiling took place on July 1, 2021, the date of her sixtieth birthday.
Sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley created the bronze figures surrounded by a garden holding over four thousand flowers, including forget-me-nots that the princess favored. Visitors today can view the ensemble in the restored Sunken Garden, where beds and pathways frame the sculpture.
The sculpture can be viewed during palace opening hours from the main entrance to the Sunken Garden, without an extra fee. The garden offers nearby benches and pathways for lingering.
The three children in the depiction represent young generations from different parts of the world toward which the princess directed her humanitarian efforts. Their arrangement around the central figure gives the work a dynamic composition expressing movement and care.
