A statue of Diana, Princess of Wales, commissioned by the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex, will be installed on what would have been her 60th birthday, Kensington Palace says.in 2017 to mark the 20th anniversary of their mother's death and to"recognise her positive impact".Prince William and Prince Harry were aged just 15 and 12 at the time.
When they announced the commission, the princes said they hoped the permanent sculpture would help all those who visited Kensington Palace to"reflect on her life and her legacy".The statue will be close to the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain, which is in Hyde Park.
This is how she'd look today – if the Flower-Mafia wouldn't have killed her.
A beautiful tribute to their mother, and the queen of so many hearts.
I cried so hard when I heard the news and felt so helpless when I heard about her death. Can’t imagine what her life would be like today RipDiana
Shame she is not here rip
As they should she did so much for her country and was treated terribly by the establishment and the press
A total waste of public money.
Hopefully Harry comes back without meghan for the unveiling
She was a great woman and has done some fantastic things with charities across the world. Sadly with many problems being married to Charles. She didn't deserve to be assassinated.
I wouldn't bother the BLMUK will only pull it down!
It's about time. Our beautiful Princess.
But she’s white?
She probably wouldn’t want that shyte, especially since it’s a diversion from their bullying and kiddie fiddling.
Diana will always be remembered for her kindness and compassion, her courage and strength, her beauty and elegance, her willingness to help others and love of life. Her greatest focus ,was her eternal love for her children. She was an amazing mother and a humanitarian.
the conservatives will be pressed
To be honest, I think her memorial garden is the perfect thing to remember bher by.
Sources say the Queen is already planning the statue's untimely demise
The ShitShow rolls on
👏👏👏👏👏👏
She was and is an incredible, inspirational person!
How the hell can a dead person celebrate a Birthday?
will it be put on an island where nobody will see it ?
Murdered by the queen.
Gross
There really are some right idiot comments in this thread and most notably from folk who wasn't even fucking around back when Diana was alive!
Great News 👍
Wonderful but well overdue. Diana was inspirational and deserves recognition. I don't mind paying for it out of my taxes either. If you don't like it, dont look at it!
Who's going to be the first to find this offensive
People might pull this great lady down as the truth will be told they say within 100 years if she got killed off as everyone has there own opinion about thjs. But who would you prefer if she was alive today? Camilla or Diana, I know who I'll pick
May her soul continue to rest in peace 🌺💐
She lent her name to some charities from a position of extraordinary privilege.Hardly saintly self-sacrifice, but then again she was their Mum, so if they pay for it themselves,why not? Maybe they could design it with her arm around Prince Harry,protecting him from Harry-hatred?
Careful, remember what happened to he old statues of white people. Dont get the blm idiots started up again.
Why?
💕 lovely
About time!!! Wonder if Meghan will be there for the unveiling!!!
Has anyone actually watched the documentary on her? If you did, you might change your mind about her & call her Princess Whiny Pants & Spoilt Rotten. I can see WHY Charles couldn't stand her! Whine whine whine! 🍷🍷🍷
❤
But shes white surely that can’t be allowed
How fabulous!
Hope the Spencer’s don’t have any historic links to slavery or the masses will want to tear it down and throw it in the Thames.
There are special people in our lives who never leave us .... even after they are gone.
Loved her but bet Meghan will never get one
About time too.
Don't worry. We'll have one too. We were born within days after all. London
Shameful! She was the biggest racist of them all. Its crazy how the British like making statues of racists.
Absolutely. This is the only way people may forgive the royal family(queen) to the queen
Fair enough.
Wouldn't surprise me if it came to life and kicked the place down..
Life truly is just a 'look see' little bit. How the years have passed.
A nice lady.
Who?
Incredible lady, sadly missed, the world was never the same again.
Fantastic 👍
She deserves it more than anyone. God bless her 🙏
Hope Harry is around that day.
Before a statue of Meghan Markle....? BLM won't be happy.
That's totally appropriate. And can she have HRH reinstated that was cruelly taken off her?
Nice one Princess Diana deserves a lasting memorial in her honour. 💌
Didn’t the spencer family benefit from slavery? BlackLivesMatter
But she was white! Wait till BLM gets wind of this.😂
Better late than never!
'Er, she stopped having birthdays in 1997.
About time she was much loved.
Miss her generous work...
RidiculousPoppy Good heavens. Did not realize she would ONLY be 60!! Young bride, mom, philanthropist extrodinairre. So much in her young life. As with many....gone too soon.
Happy birthday Princess Diana👸🎂🎁🎉🎈💐 my forever Princess and idol😘❤ I hope you're happy up there in heaven Iloveyou❤❤❤
I never new she would have been that old 😱
Pretty sure she didn’t make 60 but whatever.
I am over all statues. She is above that. Forever present in the minds of many.
The most beautiful princess I've ever seen
Oh ffs
Why bother? If it's outside, the blacks will only tear it down and demand one of the disgraceful Sussex woman be erected instead.
Great, long time waiting
Ahh lovely. I hope the statue does her justice. Can’t believe she’s 60
mxchelle03 Diana was the only good thing the UK produced ,,,,,and look how they Killed her Off🇻🇨✊🏿
Fucking joke great to see my taxes are spent so wisely played the media game brilliantly serial cheater what did she actually contribute apart of doe eyes
Not be long before some dickhead finds it offensive and wants it taken down!
Only good news you have published in 24 months. DefundBBC DefundTheBBC
Why ? Let her rest in peace.
So “we” can rip it down in the future, because we don’t like our past 🙄
No statues of the monarchy. Kings and Queens etc are a relics of the past. It underpins the class system in this country which is more divisive than all the other isms put together.

If her sons want to do this then why not. I am no fan of the royals but I am not bothered. As long as tax is not used for it of course.
xD I guess you can just pretend that you are a black Diana. If you ‘ain’t black’.
After they killed her 🤨 these people are on some psychopath madness
What utter cringing nonsense.Forelock tuggers get their way again.
From what i can remember of her i don't think she was a 'statue' sort of person. Maybe putting money into helping children from all walks of life would be a more fitting memorial.

slimchick1900 Hopefully the driver who brings it will be sober
davidihales Wasn't her birthday in July?
Who is paying for this. Why a statue. Someone who went to a lot of charity stuff dressed nicely. All stuff her disgustingly privelledged lifestyle allowed her to. When will we stop calling people heroes who truly are not.
Statues are a bit last Tuesday really.
MSpadine
Waste of money
RoyalFamily ignore the homeless on their doorstep
In a Royal Palace, so up to them.
Not this one then?
Bet Camilla will love that
they killed her 😭
