Brothers Unite for Princess Diana: A New Statue to Honor Her Legacy

In a heartwarming turn of events, Prince Harry and Prince William are putting aside their differences to honor the memory of their beloved mother, Princess Diana.

The brothers have both given their approval for a statue dedicated to her, which is set to be unveiled on July 1.

This date holds special significance as it would have marked Diana's 60th birthday.

A source close to sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley revealed that the design has received the royal seal of approval from both princes.

They shared with The Sun, “I know he did work closely with the boys, and I think it will be incredible.” The insider expressed confidence in Rank-Broadley's talent, emphasizing how fortunate the UK is to have him as an artist.

Following positive feedback from the princes, the sculptor has sent his work off to be cast.

This collaborative effort might signal a hopeful step toward mending the strained relationship between Harry and William.

While the exact timing of their approval remains unclear, the brothers are reportedly working together on this meaningful project.

Interestingly, their cousin Zara Tindall and her husband Mike have been acting as peacemakers, helping to bridge the gap between the two princes over the past year.

Their involvement hints at a family effort to heal old wounds and foster unity, particularly in light of the brothers' last public appearance together during the 2020 Commonwealth Day service, where tensions were palpable.

The statue project is overseen by a six-person committee that includes Lady Sarah MacCorkadale, Diana's sister.

The initiative was first announced on the 20th anniversary of Diana's tragic passing, highlighting the enduring impact she had on her family and the world.

Last August, in a rare joint statement, Harry and William announced the unveiling details, showcasing their commitment to honor their mother's legacy together.

Kensington Palace confirmed that the statue would be installed in the Sunken Garden of Kensington Palace, a serene location fitting for such a tribute.

The decision to create this statue stems from a desire to celebrate Diana's positive influence both in the UK and globally.

The brothers hope that it will provide a space for reflection for all who visit Kensington Palace, allowing them to connect with Diana's life and contributions.
