Kate Middleton: why she could be absent at the inauguration of the statue of Lady Diana
The unveiling of Lady Di's statue on her sixtieth birthday is eagerly awaited, and not just because “the Princess of Hearts” was beloved by the British. The event will be the moment of reunion for his sons William and Harry and the time of a possible reconciliation. Provided they are not too surrounded?
On July 1, Lady Di's sixtieth birthday, Prince William and his brother Prince Harry have a meeting with their mother in her favorite garden, the Sunken Garden. A few years ago, Lady Di's sons commissioned a statue of Diana from British artist Ian Rank-Broadley, which will now stand in Kensington Gardens. In a joint statement the two brothers had explained that the work of art was intended to "celebrate the positive influence of their mother in the United Kingdom and around the world".

A royal expert Camilla Tominey explains: "We were never really told that the family would be included in the event. We know above all that this event mainly signs the reunion of the two brothers on what should have been Diana's 60th birthday. . (...) I think we can expect to see them solo, without their family around them "she explains before adding" All eyes will be on the brothers, of course. , because everyone is hoping that there can be some kind of reconciliation at what is going to be an extremely poignant and important moment for them, the unveiling of this memorial in honor of their late mother. " So William and Harry alone or with the support of their loving halves? The suspense will end in 14 days ...
