Princes William and Harry are ready to unveil a statue in honour of their late mother Princess Diana, to commemorate her passing 20 years ago.
The statue will be erected on the grounds of their mother's former home in Kensington Palace, West London.
The royal brothers commissioned the memorial to mark the 20th anniversary of their mother's death, which occurred in Paris on August 31, 1997.
The statue follows another memorial created at her former home, which was commissioned last spring.
The princes were barely teenagers when their mother died in a car accident with her partner, Dodi Fayed - William being 14 at the time, and Harry just 12
In 2007, during the 10th anniversary of Diana’s death, a memorial concert was held in her honour. The event raised £138 million for several of Diana’s favourite charities.
In March of this year, Harry, William and his wife Duchess Kate gave candid interviews about the importance of discussing mental health. They launched a campaign to combat mental health stigma, and opened up about their own emotional struggles.
“Attitudes to mental health are at a tipping point,” the royals said in a joint statement, according to the Guardian. “We hope these films show people how simple conversations can change the direction of an entire life.”
The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Award for Inspirational Young People was established by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, back in 1999. The award celebrates positive changes made by young people around the world.
The Diana Award has also launched the My True Selfie app, to encourage young people to project a true and untampered image of themselves, i.e. no filters or makeup or photoshop.
William and Harry recently took part in a documentary - Diana, Our Mother Tells Her Story Through William and Harry - which paid tribute to Diana’s life and all her achievements. The ITV special revealed childhood pictures and home videos that were never shown to the public before.
They also opened up about their grief at losing their beloved and doting mother, something that they found difficult to about to the media 20 years ago.
The boys spoke about how loving she was as a mother, and how much of an inspiration she still is to them and many around the world.
"There are times when you look to someone or something for strength, and I very much felt she was there for me," said William in the documentary.
