Princess Diana Close Pal Left Sniggering Over 'Surprising' Preference For Royal's Statue

PRINCESS Diana's new statue, which was unveiled at Kensington Palace last week, left a close pal "surprised" by its color and appearance.


Princess Diana's new statue at Kensington Palace divided critics after it was unveiled by Prince Harry and Prince William in a ceremony on July 1. A friend of Diana's stated that even though the statue captured the Princess of Wales in "all her majesty", the chosen colour for the statue was "surprising".


Asked about his ideas on the statue, Stewart Pearce sniggered for a few seconds as he rolled his eyes.


Mr Pearce informed Royally Us: "I was amazed - I feel that the proper essence of it is really beautiful.


"There she is in all her majesty, in her maturity and seniority with the three children.


"I was just slightly amazed by the color of it but then it was proven to me on a very quick video."

"I wasn't there because it was a private ceremony so I want to get closer to really study it."


Prince William and Prince Harry commissioned the statue in 2017 to honour what would have been their mother's 60th birthday.


The statue was designed by British sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, a royal favorite who is known for his design of the Queen on all British coinage.


It was unveiled in the Sunken Garden of Kensington Palace, a location chosen specifically with Diana in mind as it was known as her favourite location.


The statue depicts the Princess in the final years of her life, standing with three young children.


Kensington Palace released a statement to say the statue represented the "final period of her life as she gained self assurance in her role as an ambassador for humanitarian causes."


Underneath the bronze statue, there is an engraving from the poem 'A Measure of a Man', which was read in the 2007 memorial service to commemorate the tenth anniversary of her death.


The unveiling ceremony was a private household affair, with each Prince William and Harry attending alongside members of the Spencer family.


Princess Diana's brother Earl Spencer, and her two sisters, Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale were present.
