On June 27, a close source revealed to the Daily Mail that Prince William, his wife and three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, will visit the statue of the late Princess Diana before it is officially completed.
According to this source, the Duke of Cambridge is expected to view the memorial privately with his family at Suken Garden, Kensington Palace before joining his brother to attend the official event on July 1.
Many believe that this is a very delicate decision by Princess Kate and her husband when the mother of three is confirmed to be absent from the official event. The couple wants to remember Princess Diana in a more private way with their children, without causing a media stir before the statue is announced to the world.
Previously, in several interviews, Prince William and his wife said they always maintained their three children’s love for their late grandmother even though they had never met her and could only imagine her through pictures and stories told by their parents.

However, it seems that this plan did not take place when Princess Kate was also absent and did not make any special requests. The ceremony was expected to be held with the presence of the two princes, Princess Diana’s family and the authors of this sculpture.
Harry’s return to attend this event has become the focus of media and public attention. The Queen of England also showed that she still cares and loves her grandson when she drove herself to where Harry is quarantined. In addition, the head of the royal family also sent an invitation to her grandson and his wife to attend the Platinum Jubilee next summer. The couple is also said to be happy to accept the invitation to join the royal
