The unveiling of the statue will be July 1, on what would’ve been the late princess’ 60th birthday. Princess Diana died in 1997 in a car crash at just 36 years old. The duke is reportedly expected to be joined by his brother Prince William for a small ceremony in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace.

The statue was “commissioned to mark the twentieth anniversary of her death and recognize her positive impact in the UK and around the world,” a statement from the palace last year read. “The Princes hope that the statue will help all those who visit Kensington Palace to reflect on their mother’s life and her legacy.”
“Prince Harry will land in the U.K. and isolate for five days before taking a COVID test affirming that he is negative before the events of the day,” a source shared.
The outlet noted, the prince is staying at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor while in the U.K., the home where he and Markle briefly lived after tying the knot in 2018.
