Princess Diana's memorial for 20 year anniversary

She will forever be the ‘people’s princess’. Now, 20 years after her death, the public will be able to see Princess Diana again – in the form of a statue being commissioned by Princes William and Harry.

The memorial will be erected in the gardens outside Kensington Palace, so her sons will also be able to see it from their apartments.

Announcing their decision yesterday, the princes said: ‘It has been 20 years since our mother’s death and the time is right to recognise her positive impact in the UK and around the world with a permanent statue.

‘Our mother touched so many lives. We hope the statue will help all those who visit Kensington Palace to reflect on her life and her legacy.’

The move follows criticism of other tributes, notably the £5 million memorial fountain in Hyde Park.

William and Harry have appointed a committee to help choose a sculptor and raise funds for the statue, which is expected to be in place by the end of the year.
