A statue of Princess Diana has been commissioned by her sons,
Prince Harry and Prince William.
The Princess of Wales died on 31 August 1997 in a car crash in Paris, when the Duke of Cambridge was 15 and his brother was 12.
Princes William and Harry said in statement: “It has been 20 years since our mother’s death and the time is right to recognise her positive impact in the UK and around the world with a permanent statue.
The sculpture will stand at her former residence, Kensington Palace.
The statue will be the fourth London-based monument dedicated to Princess Diana, and will be close to the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park.
The Queen has said she “supports” her grandchildren commemorating Princess Diana.
