Princess Diana statue

I thought this was a wonderful tribute to Princess Diana (her statue with her sons looking on) today on what would have been her 60th birthday.

Thanks for posting the photo. I have been curious as to what it looks like.

I can't tell for sure.....is there another part to the statue behind the little girl on the right? Looks like another pair of legs.

It is beautiful just as she was. I am confused why the child on her left looks like a girl, anyone else notice? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I also thank you for posting the photo as had not seen it before. Do the children with her signify her involvement with children charities?

Whats the significance of the children? I would've thought they'd do her with her own two boys.

The child on her left IS a girl. Why is that confusing?

I think the children represent her charities and her love for all children.This was about Diana not she and her sons. At least that's what I see. Still a tragic loss.

Yes, the description said that she is posing with 3 children (guess one is on the other side of the statue):

The statue was created to reflect Diana's "warmth, elegance and energy" and depicts her with children "who represent the universality and generational impact of the Princess' work," Kensington Palace said in an official statement.

@KKJ It's confusing because she did not have a daughter, she had two sons. Hence the confusion as to who the girl is.

That's what I thought it would be, her boys one on each side. When I first saw it I thought oh boy I'm sure Harry's wifey is going to say something negative because it looks like William on her right and no Harry.
Just my opinion 😉

@World Traveler Thanks for the excellent explanation of the third child. Her charities met so much throughout Diana's lifetime and that passion has been passed down to both her son's. Kate and William are especially dedicated to helping less fortunate children; IDK about Harry and Meghan any longer.

I like it. People should understand that it is a statue, it's not a photograph. It is meant to show us but more importantly people in future years what she represented. What she cared about. She cared about the welfare of children throughout the world, hence the girl and boy. Her caring and kind hearted spirit, hence her hand on the shoulder of each of them. Perhaps even her sense of style since she is shown in a very modern outfit.

The children represent her charity work, but of course some people here always have to stir the pot.

On a stone just below the statue, an inscription read: "These are the units to measure the worth Of this woman as a woman regardless of birth. Not what was her station? But had she a heart? How did she play her God-given part?"

@Pandalady Thanks for the post of the statue unveiling. I must have dreamed it, but I thought it was to depict her with "HER" children. I did realize only the Spencers would be there but was disappointed in the depiction presented.

I don't think the face looks that much like hers.

I read that her sons like it though.

@Greeneyedlady21 Thank you for posting this view of the statue and what the inscription reads.

Not stirring no pot!!
From the front you can't see the boy in the back.
She definitely was one of the best with her children's charity work.
Have a nice day greeneyedlady

I think that's exactly as Diana would have wanted it. Her with the children of the world which was so important to her.
