On July 1, Prince Harry and Prince William reunited to unveil a new statue of their mother at a ceremony that was scaled-down due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The memorial service was attended by the two princes, close family of the late Princess of Wales, some members of the statue committee, Ian Rank-Broadley, the commissioned artist, and garden designer Pip Morrison.

"Today, on what would have been our mother's 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength and character—qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better," William and Harry said in a statement.

"Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy."

Truly, Princess Diana, who was commonly referred to as the people's princess, was a true inspiration to the many lives she touched around the world. From being given a Humanitarian of The Year award to visiting the poor in clinics, rehabilitation centres and feeding centres, Diana conducted herself with grace, compassion and love at all times.

In honour of the late princess' birthday, here are all of Princess Diana's most influential moments during her life and time in the royal family.
