I find it 'strange' that the children accompanying Diana are not her own.

Just my opinion.

^ I'd be interested to see the third child in the grouping, I haven't yet.

The third child is 'behind' the child on the right (her left).

First impression, looks like DoE.

Second thought, in drag.

Other than that, nice statue.

I always thought that Diana developed 'manly' features as she grew older.

Mrs OFSO always works very closely with clients who commission sculptures: one can only surmise in this case Harry and Wills didn't. Checking our own photographs we can't find any of Diana wearing that outfit on a regular basis. No idea who the children are. Suspect they were just pieces the sculptor had hanging around the workshop, unsold.

This is a piece Mrs OFSO was commissioned to do for Diana. No idea what happened to it after her demise.

It is nice to see HM laughing -she is usually 'serious' due to the nature of her job.

Sure she smiles, but not laugh.

G CPTN, Google for yesterday's images. She can't stop grinning.

Apparently Me'again said they were one plane crash from the throne after Charles. William now forbidden to travel together with #3, 4 and 5.

I understood that to be SOP.

Apparently he wasn't.

Now deemed essential! Bit of a bummer for a family outing.

Lifted from a question asked on another forum - wonder where the sculptor got the idea from for the statue?

Harry disappeared very quickly after the unveiling. Never even met HM. No doubt he's now back in the arms of Nutmeg, whining about how badly he was treated in the UK. Time for another unburdening with Oprah.

Said to have been a Nutmeg family bereavement. (No, not that one....)

The Queen looked really happy (and quite lovely) at yesterday's Show. I'm not being spiteful when I wonder if, apart from being with her beloved horses, it was pleasure at not having to meet the whining grandson.

Is that the death of some distant relative she hadn't seen for years and publicly announced she wanted to grieve in private.
