There are several symbols hidden in the statue dedicated to Lady Diana inaugurated on July 1, 2021 by William and Harry: among these, the one concerning the dress worn that was not chosen causally but hides a precise meaning.
Lady Diana: the dress of the statue
The woman portrayed in fact wears a simple dress consisting of a shirt and a skirt with a belt. A choice studied because, as underlined by a note from Kensington Palace, the dress represents a particular moment in the princess’s life.
It is in fact theclothing that the princess wore in 1993 on the occasion of the shooting for the Christmas card in which she appears with William and Harry: a dark blue midi skirt, a light blue shirt with a V-neck and a belt with a rectangular buckle.
The choice of that particular moment is therefore to be seen as a homage to the special bond he had with his children. “The style of the dress is based on the final period of the princess’s life, the moment in which she gained confidence in her role as ambassador for humanitarian causes“, The note still reads.
