Prince William and Prince Harry were pictured standing shoulder-to-shoulder before revealing a statue created in Princess Diana's honour by Ian Rank-Broadley and placed in the remodelled Sunken Garden of Kensington Palace, a place of solace and safety for her before she died in 1997.
They put their personal animosity to one side this afternoon at the private ceremony, which started at 2pm, and saw Diana's sons gather along with the princess' siblings The Earl Spencer, The Lady Sarah McCorquodale, and The Lady Jane Fellowes, in addition to the Statue Committee, the sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, garden designer Pip Morrison and Chair of Historic Royal Palaces, Rupert Gavin. Hundreds of mourners gathered outside from dawn with Diana's fans travelling from all over the UK to west London for the poignant commemorative event today, with Harry arriving at 1.45pm - just 15 minutes before the grand unveiling. The brothers, who have been split by Harry's decision to leave the UK, were seen chatting in the grounds of Kensington Palace moments before the grand unveiling.

Prince William's body language and gestures touched me deeply. The way he he unveiled it and took the moment to reflect, brought me to tears. He couldn't look away for a moment and there he stood, just looking proud at the statue of his mother. You could see it though his body the way he was absorbing, the language in the way he stood. The time he took speaking to the artist, as well as to others- so respectful, sincere. The blood of a King truly runs through him, I am just in awe.
I agree. He was poised the entire time. He's a very classy prince. Harry's bouncing around and fidgeting was made very obvious in comparison. Like, stand still man! Lol
@@kelliea7451 He couldn't. I think he was under a certain sort of influence....... Of the spell of the statue, of course!
« The blood of a king » 😂
Coz he looks a like her mother's face
I personally think it too dark and never showed how beautiful Diana really was , I think it would have been a lot better in a lovely marble , but that is only my opinion.
Yes marble by a skilled sculptor, few exist today though
Bronze is chosen for outdoors because of the weathering.
I agree that it would have been better in marble. Since the statue is outdoors, bronze is better because of weather.
You are so right!! Marble, not bronze!! Movement, not stationary w frumpy clothes. 😞
Imagine what Prince Phillip would say. The Queen has often been the subject of portrait artists who have not got it right.
What an awful, creepy looking monument
Sorry, but I'm very disappointed. I don't see the likeness. It would've been nice if the children depicted were William and Harry..
Of course
The firm wanted to wipe Harry out of
the public minds. Demons control
everything.
@@estellepryce5536 stop with this nonsense. The statue was designed for Harry and William, they decided everything about the statue.
@@estellepryce5536 Really ????
White marble, Diana releasing doves into the garden with the breeze blowing. That would have been beautiful. This is dark and depressing
And who are the young boy and girl ?
Absolutely, dark and depressing. We can add miserable.
@@francesgillotti1378 Theres another kid behind her.
@@francesgillotti1378 I felt having the childre beside Diana is showing her Love For Humanity! (No one inparticular) It would have been more meaningful to have had Diana's Own Boys as little ones With Her! I'm glad they didn't have her ALONE💔
...not to mention sinister...
Awful - this is not the beautiful graceful ethereal immortal Diana.
?????I could have vision something much more impressive.She was young and energetic! SORRY I DONT LIKE IT!!!!!
Thanks so much for commenting on my post
Absolutely agree. Her ethereal Spirit is missing.
Just send a message to my email Hrhprinceharry776@gmail.com
I believe it's an impostor.
I don’t know much about statuses but if you didn’t tell me that was beautiful Princess Diana, I would walk straight past it!
Wow. This statue is such a dreadfully masculine,gloomy,dark,clumsy,unfashionsble,heavy rendering, an un-likeness of the gentle spirit of the beautiful,graceful,lovely,elegant Lady Diana. How sad they couldnt have found a more appropriate sculptor's style to depict the princess's likeness, more true to her spirit we all remember.
If you had something made for your mom and everyone just criticized it - how would you feel ? It was their choice
@@kathiewalters
I would say that I'm not entirely happy with it, especially considering how much money I imagine was being thrown at it.
I think Dorothy was being quite kind in her critique of it.
@@kathiewalters the should have protected the two guys against there own choice.
@@kathiewalters I don´t think that it was their choice . Watch Harry ...he seems very upset about it . And me ? i just wonder who that woman was
It scaries me a little bit because the statue (especially children and gesture of the girl) reminds me of one statue in the USA that I can't evem mention as it's...horrible and true dreadfully DARK. I hope I'm mistaken and it's just a coincidence.
This statue hasn’t captured who Dianna was. It’s hideous and dull. Nothing like the person she was and I’m no royalist. What the hell was that sculptor thinking?
To be fair, the statues bloody rubbish!
Harry had to do with the desicions taken of the making of the statue, that is why there is a african kid in it. Its all about Megan ¡
Somehow I believe Prince Charles had some influence on the necessity to "downplay" Diana's representation...
BUT HARRY AND WILLIAM DESIGNED IT - it was what they wanted
@Claire..Look at his other work and you may get what he's thinking..a lot of homoerotic stuff....he would'nt know /understand and has'nt been able to capture the beauty of a women nor indeed Diana, even if she jumped out and bit him...!
An ethereal white marble would have been more attractive.
Yes,I had expected White
Thanks so much for your comments on my post
I expected it to be white as well. But would any marble have ever captured her real beauty and essence? I doubt it.
That probably would have been racist to this ridiculous woke culture we live in! 🤦
Marble statues are for INDOORS, not outdoors. Bronze is what holds up the best.
Doesn't do justice to Diana. She was beautiful this is not.
I wonder if the palace deliberately trying to erase the memory of the most beautiful princess they ever had from the world.
@@mairaa9184 Considering this was a statue commissioned and selected by her sons, I doubt that very much.
So true
She was never beautiful.
Sadly the wrong artist was commissioned. His work is better reflecting men. Even his work for the Queen on our coins is masculine ... never liked it.
The family liking it is what matters.
@@cherylwright9408 ... agreed however only William and Harry know whether they are pleased or not. Wouldn't be the first time a commission piece doesn't meet expectation. I truly hope they are happy.
@@bobbiejay2085 I agree , it’s very masculine
They would comission someone in uk. Uk not best for artistic masonry.
@@kongakau5058 ... I am aware.
The garden design is closer in feel to Diana than the statue which is strangely dowdy.
Dowdy! That's the word I've been trying to find!
Yes¡¡ i think it should have been white marble¡ light ¡¡ not darkness¡
I would have thought it would have been done at least in bronze.
@@tinapindara - It IS bronze.
Whats’s missing is her “lightness of being” her beautiful smile and her humor which seemed to be there to assuage the worst of times. She was never dull and this statue seems dull. I think her sons wanted to celebrate her sense of purpose and dedication to those less fortunate, it does that I think, unfortunately at the expense of other qualities which made her a mesmerizing and endearing person.
I wish her two sons would side by her instead of other children's statue. ..She always wanted her two sons united with her .
Hello 👋 Khin,how are you doing today?
@@fredrickofficial5674 Do you know me?
@@khinclose5894 Um,guess no I just saw your comment and yeah that’s all
@@khinclose5894 So,Where are you writing from?
It would be better if she stands alone..with that famous smile on her face
The statute doesn't look like Diana, with two or three children that are not really necessary to be there. Hopefully, there'll be the second and better statue.
I don't see the point of the kids added.. it's suppose to be her only.. and the statue should made of gold just like her beautiful golden heart..
It's so not her at all..
@@paulineatanoa5415 beautifully said.
💖💎🏆💐
AND, why isn’t she depicted as smiling?
it means NOTHING
This statute needs to be replaced as it brings gloom to the British Empire. It is better not to have any than to have a sad looking one.
This wasn't a state occasion, it was supposed to be a family affair, but it didn't look all that enjoyable.
I understand from other readings that it was so minimal because harry refused to share his speech ahead of time as he was supposed to!!! So it was decided no speeches at all!! William has to keep stepping back to please harry!! No uniforms at funeral because harry threw a tantrum that he couldnt wear his!! No catherine at unveiling to placate H&M because meghan was not invited!! No speeches as harry did not follow protocol to let them know what his was about!! SMH
@Connie Bucy You’re so right! What a shame. Harry has turned into a right ponce and Meghan is at the root of it all. She’s the worst thing to happen to the Royal Family in years... how could Harry have been so impressionable? So easily fooled?
@@weeshirley5934 why is that? is it because she is a person of colour? Is it because of how media has shunned her? Is it because she is American?
@@conniebucy2423 so many conflicting theories. I read somewhere that William reduced the event to family only to protect Harry from having anxiety, you know, because being in London and hearing cameras clicks brings him so much anxiety, not counting that he participating in official engagements triggers his PSTD because he used to feel to trapped being a prince. Unkown if that is true, and if it is, unkown if it was a gesture of true concern or true irony.
@@PanzyTheOne it's because she is an obnoxious, rude, DESPICABLE LIAR, and it has nothing to do with her color or the fact that she is an American! I am American and I have never acted like she has!
I have never seen a statue so unlike its subject. Terrible.
Agreed...except that Diana’s love and caring for children is evident.
@@MsChaCha-45 Please don't be offended, but I honestly think that people who say this are reading that into this piece. I'm as devoted to children as Diana was, I was very fond of her, and this simply doesn't convey that message to me.
Looks like you’ve never seen the sculpture of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Sadly the statue is too masculine to capture the real Diana.
it's woke
She's too chunky, Diana was more slender than that.
The sculptor's work has predominantly been male portraits and full-body depictions of males -- if you take a look at his website you will see this. He is much less experienced at doing statues of women, which may account for the somewhat masculine look of Diana's statue which many are commenting on.
I wonder what William and Harry really thought
How sad she was so much more beautiful than the statue portrayed her
Interesting how the cameras are almost totally focused on our future King! 👍😁
He got it all so terribly wrong. He mustn’t be a professional. I my view
Yes this statue makes her look hard .
@@dotlithgow5070 Yes I agree, but what is it made from. Stone maybe? It can't be easy to introduce softness into such a hard substance.
Yikes! I didn’t expect to see such a terrible rendition of such a beautiful woman. What a shame.
Thanks for your comments on my post
Just send me an email to Hrhprinceharry776@gmail.com
I know...they could have used a random mannequin would have been better. It's ugly! We waited all these years for THIS?
I thought they would have commissioned a marble statue. That would have been beautiful xx
@@xxLornyTunesxxAnything would have been better. I could pile up some rocks in my garden and make a more artistic, albeit abstract, rendition!
Looks like William only looked or spoke with Harry when he had no choice.
That's what I was thinking and I think Prince William was embarrassed by Harry's stupid laughing. I wouldn't have spoken to my brother, either, if I'd been treated the way Harry has lied and denigrated the Royal Family.
William just wanted to get it over with so he could get away from Harry.
@@petfan2948 my thoughts exactly. I am sure that William was a bit upset with Harry for stepping in front of him; learned that from his Devil 👿 wife big time.
@@maka1685 my thoughts exactly. After what Harry has said about the Royal Family since he stepped down from his Royal duties last year, I can understand why William would want to get away from his brother. Harry is learning how to be so nasty to his family from his Devil 👿 wife big time! Two peas in a pod who deserve each other
It sure did! Harry looked uncomfortable as well he should have.
Wouldnt’ it have been lovely to have her statute smiling for eternity
Protection. We all smile. ;)
@@boogiesrevenge2087 How are you doing today and I hope you have nice day?
Not only was her spiritual beauty not captured her physical beauty wasn’t either How completely disappointed I am. How sad not even a smile.When did Diana not smile as she looked upon children Well at least I have my memories of her beautiful being.
I don’t like it. Sorry but I’m disappointed
I agree
yeah, kinda looks sad, Diana always had a beautiful smile’s,, she’s the icon of fashion
I like it
It doesn’t look like a celebration of her life -
I think harry is waiting to leave
the face is not really resemble her as much as expected though and out of thousands of her outfit ,they choose this , don't really like it
Sorry don’t like it,as in my view it doesn’t visually reflect Diana .
She'll be not forgotten,
she'll be not compared with anyone else,
she was a beautiful person, an unique human being, the only one Princess Diana ❣️❣️❣️
🌷🌹🌻🌷🌹🌻🌷🌹🌻🌷🌹🌻🌷
Totally agree with you . Someone trying to be second Di but no one will take her place ✝️💘
@@denisefrench6882 Kate comes in a very close second, and I think Princess Charlotte will be stunning when she grows up.
@@maryannlush2991 Kate doesn't have Diana's humility or charisma
@@frankvitier6086 Kate to me, has loads of humility, charisma and is authentic. I am sure Diana must be absolutely thrilled William chose such a beautiful hearted bride xo
What a ghastly statue ! It belongs in a cemetery. Green? I'm guessing that Diana is mortified.
And she would be smiling and here she is not, what a shame this is !
The statue is badly done. Im disappointed. It just look like a piece of stone standing there. No respect for Diana and her family. What a shame. From Rose Emi of Kinarut, Sabah Malaysia
It will go manky in the rain and that child's big stubby head will fall off in a gale
That's a horrible statue.of her. The kids who are they. Wow get ur money back and redo it
the kid hidden out of view at the back ,must be Harry with his first finger sticking up
It's ghastly. I have no words. It's grey and not like Diana at all very disappointed
Disappointed and horrified
It seems like another box ticking exercise so it has absolutely no personality and didn't capture anything but boredom.. they could have at least added her own sons to the piece . Modern art is just dull and boring because everything has to be pc correct art along with everything else in this woke culture has been ruined . I wonder if we have lost the secrets of the great artist of our past and one of the reasons why every sculpture designed today has no magical element to them and they just look like a piece of cold grey rock lacking personality and the " IT factor "
🤣🤣🤣
I knew they were going to screw it up. How hard was this, really? Either do the bench picture, or one of her alone, lifesize, walking and smiling, with some beauty in it. We have statues of famous people here, that folks can just walk up to like the person is there. Got one of Matt Dillon, one of Johnny Mercer in Savannah, any of those sculpturers would have done better. Ghastly is too kind.
Thanks for your comments I really appreciate 🙏 just send a message to my email address Hrhprinceharry776@gmail.com
So proud of Prince William; charming, elegant, dignified- the carriage of a proud modern prince.
Carriage of a King.
Dignified as always. I would not be as gracious as he was towards my brother if he had done what Harry did.
Oh please - give it a rest - for at least one day.
Gracious to his brother? Harry wanted to go to him perhaps hug him. Moved his way couple of times while William just stands there no move no looks almost Harry s way. So u spoke untruth.
Beautifully put. 😁
That is not the world’s beautiful Princess Dianna. Probably could never capture her inner soul and spirit that we all were able to witness during her service to her people. She will be forever remembered.
It looks like something from Stalinist Russia , very masculine and unflattering
Well said Fran🤔🤔
Oh yes so I thought to.
Nobody could captrue the true Diana. She was breathtaking, inside and out.
It makes me miss her even more.
I think we all capture Diana and this statue captures a Diana that we may never see. I think that’s the point. It’s beautiful.
Horrible how completely unlike her in every single way
Agreed...except that her love and caring for children is evident.
Thats because the sculptor made her look 60
Look at her neck
He should have left her looking young like when she died
...wish I was a pigeon❣😂🕊
Well, to be fair, there were times she got a bit broader, not the time period she wore that outfit tho. I feel like when ppl die they should get to be "forever young". But the boys obviously wanted a motherly looking, strong looking bigger than life women statue to represent their mom. I wish the Chd had been them is all.
I think it's a very nice likeness of her. I'm not sure what you're seeing.
I'm not crazy about that statue, it doesn't capture her beauty or her fashion sense.
Really
@@princeharry5503 I'm not the only one who says that, research it.
i think that was the intent. she was more than a pretty frock, don't be so shallow. she did her best work in khakis, a white shirt and a helmet
@@matthewhayes3142 I know it's just that it really doesn't look like her much.
It is from a photograph of her in that outfit...
William is going to be a wonderful King. So kind and dignified.
Without a doubt he will. He is his mum all over. She would be so proud of him and I know she would've loved Kate.
Hey he is a hunter you realize right?????? So is catherine
@@dustinwatkins7843 a hunter??
Horrible statue. Such a manly, stout rendering of a gorgeous woman. AND why the stern expression? Why not make the children William and Harry? At least the garden is beautiful.
Because it’s about the children she have help
I think it should of been william and Harry .
it doesnt look like she was. Even the dress wass ugly.
It’s not about them but about her love for all children
They chose to do it this way, it is about them not to please strangers.
All the build up for what? Half a dozen people who all look as if they don't want to be there and as for the statue.... Words fail me.....
Should have been a completely private affair :-(
William was right to control this.Small gathering , Spencer family only , no mass press or media, no speeches, this was just about his mother.One hour and then Harry was gone.
It was Harry who didn't allow the press to turn the memorial into a circus. Love Harry 💖
@Vote Voiced It's extremely odd and somewhat disturbing, how 'some' American people have suddenly become experts on the British royal family.
@@tinaj7331 Harry and Meghan really are not all that popular here. They are in the echo chamber of Hollywood but that’s about it. Some of us are royal watchers but I would not consider myself an expert. I know a lot because I’ve studied it but I will always defer to the Brits when it comes to knowledge of the royal Family. I have lots of ancestry in the British Isles so it’s always been of great interest too me. My grandmother was born in Great Yarmouth in1880 and named after Queen Victoria
@@mayrav1155 no Harry wanted to bring his own press person. Probably would have slipped Oprah and Gayle King in if he could have.
@@cherylwright9408 and id it did , so what? Weirdo
What was Harry thinking with brown shoes with that suit, he gave his mum a shown up
When William becomes King he should recommission a marble rendition that will capture his moms loveliness without children! And certainly without that belt! Bronze is for men horses and military figures in my opinion!
That belt is a bloody nightmare!

@@vmm5163 Dont speak for us the commonwealth, thank you.very.much. Most of us want to see the Royals gone, they've stolen enough from us as it is.
Pretending to like the statue lol
Not a fan of the statue, it has not captured Diana’s beaming smile or beautiful eyes. Not sure about the little one hiding behind her. Why were those awful clothes chosen, a lovely softly falling summer dress would have been better however at the end of the day she is the boy’s Mum & if they are happy with the statue it is all that matters. William looked so well put together & so refined, not sure what Harry was trying to achieve, brown shoes, unbuttoned jacket, unruly hair & beard & that hands on hips defiant stance.
Both sides of the coin. One in the same.
I really don't like the short trousers on the little boy. When I first saw it I wondered why they'd depicted a Victorian child. Those trousers need to be shorter to resemble a modern kid, or be full length trousers. Such a weird length! 🤷
Appreciate it for what it is. It tells a story.
@@vmm5163 yep a few things that aren’t quite right.
Do they all just pretend to talk or do they actually have things to chitchat about? I notice William talks to one person until Harry’s turn, then he goes on to the next. I can’t imagine having to think of things to say to a dozen different people a dozen different times.

I also think about this🤪 what are they telling to these people? And also to other people in other occasions, somwtimes there is really long que of people 😐
They are talking about the garden and the individuals contribution probably.....did u hear at the very end of the video....a whispering voice said get out!
Has anyone noticed how Prince William stands like his grandfather?
Well spotted!
More like his father.
He has his father's natural awkwardness at these events.
Which one?
I give kudos to William for his ability to have what was seemingly the same conversation over and over again with the same level of interest and enthusiasm. For people who say the royals never do anything, I suggest they try to have that kind of conversation that was probably rather boring multiple times and not seeming like you'd rather be anywhere else. That's a talent in patience I could never possess.
They get paid well
I wonder what Diana's sisters and brother thought of it??
Thank you for saying this . we need to understand that this is who they remember their mother as. The mom who took them to swimming. who took them to roller Coaster rides. who they saw crying and she gave them comfort as well as them comforting her. They don't remember her as this big beautiful popular person. They were little enough that this was her mom. And all you bozo's out there throwing shade at the statue. That moment in time is who they remember her for. Not her diamonds and fancy dress. I'm so disgusted that those of you who give all your little nasty comments about how the statue doesn't do her Justice. It did her Justice for these children who remembered their mother as loving and kind. Give it up already. Try seeing it from their perspective. Besides, they are the ones who had the final say in the statue, no one else.
They were on the committee who approved of it along with the boys .
@@amylarson3958 I'm disgusted at your lack of taste in statues. Let's be fair the statues bloody rubbish!
@@amylarson3958 Her sons are too polite to say outright what they'd truly think of it. This is probably the artist's best impression.
@@lorainewhite727 her sons helped design it. Her family were all involved along the way.
Obviously the statute is a representation of her love for children and it’s a wonderful tribute. I think her dress shows her down to earth relatable nature to people. The color of the statue is throwing everything off.
Jerrilynn F...
I agree that the color of the statuette is unsuitable and does “throw everything off” akilter!
I expected something white…
Something light, bright…a youthful Diana in “motion”!! I expected to see her dancing the ballet or similar. This is not what we expected at all…looks like something Snarkles would have come up with. I can’t imagine why Diana would have been dressed like that!! She looks quite frumpy. I am happy to see the 3 children because we’re reminded of the Cambridge kids, George, Charlotte & Louie…w their Granny.
@@cberry6751 Where was the 3rd child? Only saw a boy & girl on each side of her. Looked like pidgeons had had a go at the left side of her face.
@@lorainewhite727 The third child is behind her.
It looks like a bloke in a skirt, bloody awful statue.
The sculptor has done many male portraits and full-body sculptures of men; very few of women. Therefore an odd choice for this job, but at least the face is recognizable as Diana, imo.
🤣
Lmfaooo
😂😂😂😂
Yes, Mrs Doubtfire springs to mind.
She was an is the People's princess. We will never ever forget her. It was touching to not only see her sons there but, her brother and two sisters as well. Diana will forever be in our hearts.
Absolutely hate it, Diana looks cold, uncaring and like a man..... so not her, what a disaster....
I think that's a bit disrespectful to William
@@danieljohnston7963 Maybe but it's still horrible....

Hmm, no, it hasn’t captured Diana; the warmth, that smile, those eyes 🤔
Her glamour is missing too.
It's made of stone.
Her love of children is well represented, but the Diana we all loved is not.😢
@@speakezi5346 It's made of bronze
@@TRIPPLEJAY00 It's a cold,hard substance non the less.So capturing emotions,not,symbolic yes.
I'm so glad William was first born.
So many of you are missing the point of the way the sculptor portrayed Diana, and the truth of the matter is, Diana was a woman of pure strength and her strength was her love for people. So many are criticizing the way Diana was rendered, but the sculptor was trying to capture the strength within Diana through the chiseled features and the plain outfit he chose her to wear. Diana was above the superficial things of royal life. Sure, she knew how to dress up, and BOY was she beautiful, but even in plain clothes her beauty shown through! This sculpture is about her LOVE for others, especially children. Her concern was for other's to be comfortable. A true mark of a lady, which Diana was. She is the People's Princess and always will be! Someday when it's my time to go, I shall wish for her to be one of those beautiful souls that meets me to bring me into Heaven. I watched her from a little girl of 7 and I shall never forget her.
Try and look at this sculpture again with her strength in love in mind and not the superficial. 💙
Forgot the smile and her hair.
Well said and very beautiful 👏👏💖🇭🇷🇭🇷
I find this statue very much on point. I don't think Princess Diana would have wanted to be remembered for her beauty but for her heart and work (children, safe in her embrace). This statue directs my thoughts to her personality and work for better world.
William held himself very well, a splendid role model.
Prince William is such a handsome man and he looks so much like his Mother, Diana Princess of Wales! RIP 🙏
Why Bronze ??? Too dark !!! I don’t like the statue at all. They could have pick a better one !!!
No I'm sorry but this is nothing like Diana the Princess! It's hiddiousy!
Lmfaooo
Harry was like a hyperactive child trying to get attention. The statue was underwhelming. Very disappointing.
I agree, I saw the future king with the court jester...... circus clown with know dignity.... he took away from the occasion. Rather it of been Kate with William.
@@seekhyde499 its his mother not kate Middleton. So why hate on her son . Wow, you people are so sad get a life and stop bashing the man.
So true
He was always hyperactive. You just hate him now
You just have a strong hate. If anything you're acting like the child. He's seems fine.
harry cannot keep his mouth shut. not able to just look at the statue for even 10 seconds without making comments about it to his brother.
Wow
Prince William LOOKS like a KING!
Yes he comes across as this function: king not so much human or son of Diana.
The princes did what they thought was right,so to me if they are happy with it ,that's what matters

I'm so glad they scaled-down this event
Because the gasp would have been heard around the world.
With all the flowers around she loved Beauty like that
There is an essence about this statue that reminds us of the woman that once was. The love for children reflected her essence!
William is going to make a great King. Harry looked crazy.
i think he was trying very hard to get William's attention
Well said
Because he us
There was NOTHING about Harry that looked crazy. He did what he set out to do, which was enjoy his family on his mothers' side, unveil the statue with his brother, and then head back to his wife and kids. Harry was alive, he also added warmth to the video. Crazy? No
@@OptimisticFletcher1 He looked crazy to me. He was a wiggly embarrassment to the proceedings.If you have a different opinion, that’s wonderful. But how do you know ‘he did what he set out to do?’ How do you know his intentions. Are you a mind reader?
It’s disgusting. Im not a Diana fan but that statue is an insult to her memory.
Whom ever agreed on this statue didn’t like princess Daina she was Beautiful and elegant the face ,the close this is not the Queen of our hearts RIP beautiful
Her son's worked with the artist throughout the process. This is what they wanted. Too bad people on social media weren't consulted since they all knew her so much better.
@@janetclaireSays do when you look at here do you see the beautiful princess I don’t think so her son’s I don’t think they did see the finish if they did I don’t think they will have agree
Did you ever pray for Diana SALVATION??
If you want to honor Diana,show some
respect to her SON and the choice he
makes and what makes him mentally
HEALTHY!!
SAD HOW HYPOCRITICAL SOME
PEOPLE ARE.Dont forget Diana fell
in love with a nonwhite Muslim!!
and was on her way out of England.
Yet you covered all that and more
with your love.
Why you turned against Harry?
I know most English people still
love him and are willing to embrace
whatever makes him happy..
King William is beautiful at every angle
Prince.
The statue is not what I was expecting BUT I won't go complaining to the whole world about it. Let's just focus on the fact that she was remembered well by her children and by those who love her.
Agree
Well, that was terribly disappointing. No smile. No joy. No elegance. No inspiration.
What’s w/ the 3 adult looking kids? Creepy. No, just no.
🌹 RIP Princess Diana.
Yes I thought that too. Children depicted with adult looking faces!! Very weird!
I don't see the "warmth" in the face of Diana that was always so evident with her. If they used the photograph as the example, where is the smile that was in the picture? It just doesn't capture the essence that was Diana in my eyes. Warmth and love. Missing
Thats my boy William, head and shoulders above your brother. Thank goodness you were the first son born !!
I was bitterly disappointed with the Statue of Diana. Her beautiful face did not shine through.
Hello 👋 Myfanwy,how are you doing today ?
The video shows Harry doing a lot of talking and hand gestures , that is probably the most he has spoken since he married that person. How sad that Harry is so beneath William in dignity and honor.
The camera definitely trained on our future King all through. And rightfully so.
Oh please. I bet you preferred his wife blond hair and blue eyed.
I am so Happy Diana wasn't left alone even in her quiet place. Forever Loved by the Masses. xxx❤
This is about honoring their mother and the bond and unity that they have as brothers who love her.
I’m not sure about the statue it doesn’t blow me away.. it doesn’t capture Diana’s beauty.. William will make a fabulous king.. Harry seems lost…
Harry didn't even look at the statue a full 5 seconds before talking lol 13:57 - 14:02
William is so much the dominant man. He controlled Henry with body language, gesture, and comments. Masterful. Henry wandered around like a confused oaf. Hands in pockets, leg cocked submissively. What's with those shoes.
After the initial discomfort I felt whilst watching this I can say....
This depiction doesn’t embody her Feminine beauty, it’s a half hearted attempt and lacks soul.
She was a shining star, so bright in her own right.... why the need for the children?
Disappointing.
Anticlimactic.
I have a sense of sadness.
She was so much more than this depicts. Very sad. She was so beautiful inside and out.
the children represent her universality and her generational impact
what utter rubbish
Hello my dear friend how are you doing I hope you are doing well I will like to talk to you more
I miss her so much she was a beautiful woman and a beautiful mother
I really thought that Princess Diana’s brother and other sister could have paid more to attention to the unveiling of the statue as it was a very memorable time for they’re nephews!
@@tigressnsnow : how rude of you to publicly correct someone
@@tigressnsnow nasty?
How much more attention did you want them to give? They were stood there in the garden. Perhaps they should’ve draped themselves over the statue, or fallen at its feet wailing?
@@tigressnsnow Are you the editor ? 🤔
A few words would have been nice
wtf is going on with Haz at 14.48 in. He does some really weird movements and William and Diana's sister move to the side. It seemed to me like they were kind of trying to ignore him. As for the statue it's fair to say, it's bloody rubbish!
Yep a traitor to the Crown, acting up like an attention seeking child.
And look at his weird wiggle thing at 3:09.
Something that should have been a beautiful moment was overcast by two brothers who tried desperately to act like everything was normal. William tried avoiding Harry was the White Elephant in the room.
I don't blame PW one bit!!! H has proved to be a snake in the grass; not to be trusted.
That was really bad on William, part. He thinks too highly of himself 🙄
Harry was remarkably rude. When you're studying a work of art you need peace-Harry was still for 5 seconds then started yakking and waving his arms around. It was distracting and inappropriate.
@@combattinghate3440 that's so not true! Harry has thrashed the royal family in the media. How else would you expect William to be feeling?!? William is actually highly dignified and professional, wheras that other clown is just down right rude and a mockery!
@@debbie7866 This was to honor his mother. The cameras were on, hide that stuff and let it out later. Charles didn't even act this bad around Diana. He's a 40 year old acting like a petulant child.
I feel a very cold family atmosphere in this video. It's a family gathering, right?
Haha! Yes but they’re BRITISH.
I am almost certain these two young men approved of this tribute to their mother. Why would anyone want to criticize that.❤💞❤🇺🇸
Princess Diana was so beautiful 💓💕💓😻
Harry stepped in front off William like meghan does
Interrupting
Harry is learning how to be as rude as Meghan big time. Harry will never be his own man. He is a problematic adult. I don’t see how Harry can ever be trusted ever again
stepping in front of William---he learned that from his wife also--as well as the jacket-flipping technique😂😂😂😂😂
@Kate F thank you 🙏 for the morning laugh 😹
@@irislai7821yep. Harry is learning to be so rude like Meghan. And he is doing a great job with what he has learned. They are two peas in a pod; they deserve each other.
I love prince William and prince harry very much 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
The people's Princess, the Princess of hearts , Diana forever 🙏😇💐🌹💟
Would be nice to see the statue from another angle, there is another child behind. A nice position overlooking the POND in the Garden.💞
There is a third Child??
As long as her sons are happy......
