One of Princess Diana’s iconic styles is now set in stone.
Prince William and Prince Harry unveiled a new statue of their late mother on Thursday, reuniting to honor her on what would have been her 60th birthday.
The artwork depicts Diana standing with three children to represent her “generational impact,” dressed in a belted pencil skirt and blouse that nod to one of her many memorable outfits.
The style seems to be based on the ensemble the late royal wore for her 1993 Christmas card, which marked her first official holiday card following her separation from Prince Charles.
Diana stood alongside her sons in the sweet photo, with Harry staring up at her adoringly while William posed for the camera.
Although her hair is slightly longer in the sculpture, the intricate likeness replicates detail down to her eye-catching belt buckle and the unfastened buttons on her blouse.
Kensington Palace announced that “the portrait and style of dress was based on the final period of her life as she gained confidence in her role as an ambassador for humanitarian causes and aims to convey her character and compassion.”
Midi-length skirts and blouses were staples of Diana’s wardrobe, which has often been reimagined for TV shows and films. Her daughter-in-law Kate Middleton also regularly pays homage to her iconic looks, sometimes sporting similar pieces.
The sculpture’s unveiling ceremony at Kensington Palace marked a rare reunion for William, 39, and Harry, 36, amid their ongoing rift, although sources told Page Six the pair was unlikely to meet privately.
“We remember her love, strength and character — qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better,” the brothers said in a joint statement honoring their mother.
The public ceremony was limited to 15 attendees due to COVID protocols, with sources previously telling Page Six that Middleton’s absence would be “telling on so many levels.”
The meaningful statue, sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley, also includes a paving stone engraved with the words, “There 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?”
