Inside the Redesigned Kensington Palace Garden Where Princess Diana’s Statue Will Be Unveiled

It’s a project led by Prince William and Prince Harry that has been in the works for over four years, and now, on the eve of its official unveiling, the redesigned gardens for the new commemorative statue of Princess Diana have been revealed.

Famously known as the late princess’ favorite place on the grounds of Kensington Palace, the Sunken Garden has been transformed into a fitting tribute to Diana, complete with touching nods to her favorite flowers and colors. Five gardeners spent over 1,000 hours transforming the space ahead of the July 1 statue unveiling.

“While she was in residence at Kensington Palace, Diana, Princess of Wales regularly admired the changing floral displays in the Sunken Garden and would always stop to talk with me and the other gardeners who cared for it,” Dillamore says in a statement. “Over three decades later, I’m honored to have been part of the team preparing the garden for the installation of this statue.

Landscape architect Pip Morrison—known for his sensitive, thoughtful approach to design and expertise in the development of historic gardens—designed the space to bring a sense of calm. “This has been a very special project to work on, as the Sunken Garden was a favorite place of Diana, Princess of Wales,” he said.

They redesign garden and install statue? Really? Really? Where is MY statue in Rose Garden? First Lady is thankless job.
