For Robert Lacey – author of the definitive guide to the fallout between William and Harry – the unveiling of the memorial to Diana, Princess of Wales, represented ‘a Spencer takeover – there wasn’t a single member of the House of Windsor there’. As well as a memorial to their mother, the sculpture is also a testament to the drive of the Princes: ‘they’ve done pretty well those boys – this represents their campaign to insert their mother into the iconography of the British Royal Family – those brothers did that, the Queen didn’t do it, did she? Prince Charles didn’t do it.’ The Mail’s Diary Editor, Richard Eden was less impressed by the finished product from sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley.
