《ダイアナ元妃 60歳バースデー！銅像の除幕式！》
7 / 1 (木)
『unveil the statue of Diana's 60th birthday』
2pm〜
@ Kensington Palace
7月1日は
ダイアナ元妃の生誕日
ご存命ならば、今日で60歳
2017年、ダイアナ元妃の20周忌の節目に
ウィリアム王子＆ハリー王子によって
亡き母の人生やレガシーを反映したものとして
銅像製作を委託され
それから、なんと
約3年半の月日を経て
ついに銅像のお披露目！！！！
短い生涯ながら
人生の大きな節目ごとに、大きな変化がある元妃だけに
一体、どの時期、どのダイアナ元妃をフューチャーするか
もめたそう。
しかも、、、、この銅像を見ると、それがとっても伺える想いだった。
兎にも角にも、今年
ダイアナ元妃の60歳のバースデーと言う節目に、
ついにお披露目が実現したことは良かった。
当初、ウィリアム王子の希望は、
100人ほどの出席者を招待して、と言うものだったそうですが
国内のコロナ感染状況を考慮し、
銅像の関係者たちと、元妃の近親者のみ
と言うかなり小さな規模に。
よって、TV中継も無しの
プライベートイベントに変わっていた。
実際の除幕式に立ち合いを許されたのは、
なんと、フィルム撮影が一社に、
画像撮影の1人だけだった模様。
銅像が置かれた場所は、
ダイアナ元妃が生前大好きでいらした場所の一つ、
ケンジントンパレス内のサンクン・ガーデン
ここと言えば、
2017年にハリー王子とメーガン妃が婚約発表後のフォトコールを行われた場所。
ハリー王子にとっては、より感慨深いでしょう。
イベントの開始は
2pm〜
ウィリアム王子とハリー王子を筆頭に
ダイアナ元妃の弟、第９代スペンサー伯爵
お二人の姉、レディ・セーラ・マッコーコデール
レディ・ジェーン・フェローズ。
その他、
銅像建立に関わった、委員会の人たちや、
彫刻家《イアン・ランク・ブロードリー》氏
この方は
1998年以降、英国内やコモンウェルスの全コインの
エリザベス女王のお顔を彫った方。
また、銅像に合わせて
サンクン・ガーデン内の花も植え替えられ、
そのガーデンデザイナーが
《ピップ・モリソン》氏
さらに、チャリティ関係者の姿も。
銅像のお披露目はもちろんだけど、
やはり、致し方ない、、、
ウィリアム王子とハリー王子の２ショットも、
当然のごとく注目の的。
4月のエディンバラ公の葬儀以来
英国に戻られたハリー王子と、
アニウィリアム王子との一挙手一投足に目がいってしまうと言うものですねえ。。
ちなみに、ハリー王子は
先週金曜日に英国入り
5日間の自主隔離を経て、陰性結果が出た後、
実は、除幕式の前日（水曜日）に、
病気を抱える子供達の慈善団体
”WellChild”関連の授与式に
サプライズで登場。
英国民にいる間に、お仕事も。
そして、注目の除幕式
出席者は、
ダイアナ元妃のご家族
スペンサー伯爵、
レディ・セーラ・マッコーコデール
レディ・ジェーン・フェローズ
彫刻家
《イアン・ランク・ブロードリー》
ガーデンデザイナー
《ピップ・モリソン》
ちなみに、この日
女王やチャールズ皇太子は、ともに
スコットランドでのご公務でした。
噂されていた、キャサリン妃の同席もなく
完全なるダイアナ元妃のご家族を軸にして
プライベート行事として行われた形。
これが、余計な憶測を呼ばず、正解だった気はする。。
いざ、除幕スタート！では
ウィリアム王子とハリー王子ご兄弟が、一緒に幕を下ろし、
銅像が公開！！
意外と言うか、ナチュラルなダイアナ元妃をフューチャー
しかも、子供達3人と一緒。
これは、多民族や平等といったものを感じた。
気になるのは、
子供のうちの2人が靴を履いていないこと。
ファッションに関しては、
恐らく、プリンセスっぽいものを期待されてたのでしょうが
不満の声も多い模様。
私も、そう言えば、なんとなく
ドレスとは言わないまでも
”プリンセス”っぽいイメージを想像していたかもしれない。
以前、25ansオンラインで
この銅像のモデルとなる写真、もしくはファッションはどれだろう？
予測なんぞをしていましたらしい。。
自分で忘れてたがw
外れましたねえ（笑）
親近感たっぷりのイメージに
正直なところ、ちょっとビックリも。
一方で、一番私がウケたのは
この銅像の顔が、ちょっと
英国の前、メイ首相と似てない？というもの。
わかる〜〜〜〜！！！！（笑）
似てます。
ファッションとしては、
シャツ＋タイトスカート、太ベルト
といった、いわゆるダイアナ元妃のプライベートスタイルに多いコーデ。
恐らく1992年に撮影された、
ダイアナ元妃とお二人のお子様の画像
これがイメージ元でしょう！
1993年のクリスマスカードん使われたものだそうで
チャールズ皇太子抜きの、初のカードの年だった模様。
最終的に、
後期の元妃の最もナチュラルで、自立した女性
国民のために自信を持って活動をされていたときのお姿や
功績を象徴するようなイメージを選ばれた気がします。
画像元に写る、ウィリアム王子とハリー王子の代わりに、
国民や世界中の子供達、もしくは人びとを象徴しているのでしょう。
生前インタビューの中で
”人々のプリンセス”になりたいと願われた元妃を思い出します。
ネット上でも、やはり賛否に分かれているもよう。
除幕の際には、仲良く同時に幕を下ろし
おっつ❤️もしやベターに？？
と喜んだ私でしたが
その直後のお二人の反応に温度差を感じてしまった。。
見ながら、ちょっと緊張しちゃったもん。。。
公開後、ダイアナ元妃の銅像を無言で見つめていらっしゃるウィリアム王子に対し、
しばし沈黙した後、すぐに大き目のジェスチャーで、
全開で明るい振る舞いを見せられていたハリー王子。
正直、私の目には
イギリス人とアメリカ人？
って印象だった。
米国在住という環境によって、もともと気さくなハリー王子がより明るく？
真面目でシャイなウィリアム王子。。。
これも
長男、次男の個性の違いかもしれないけれど。
終始、明るく大きく振る舞う次男ハリー王子と、
神妙な長男ウィリアム王子。
お立場も違うし、性格の違いを改めて実感。
ハリー王子がいつまで滞在されるのか、気になりますが、
翌日、エリザベス女王もウィンザー城へ戻られたところを見ると
恐らく、ハリー王子と女王はお会いになっていると推測
ケンブリッジ公爵家とは、やはりまだ無理か、、、
そんなケンブリッジ公爵家ですが
除幕式の前に、
ウィリアム王子、キャサリン妃や3人のお子様たちと、
ご一家で、この銅像をご覧になったといわれています。
新たなガーデンには、
元妃の大好きなお花、"Forget me nots"（忘れな草）を含め、
４０００ものお花が植えられているのだそう。
あ〜〜〜〜〜〜、早く行きたいサンクン・ガーデン
銅像見たい〜〜！❤️
ウィリアム王子とハリー王子

rather than depict her with her sons as she appeared in the card, she is posed with three children - two of whom aren't wearing shoes. The palace said 'it represents the universality and generational impact of The Princess’ work'
The bronze made by Ian Rank-Broadley shows Diana with her arms around two children with another little boy following behind
In front of it is a paving stone engraved with an extract after the poem The Measure of A Man by Albert Schweitzer, which was read at the 2017 memorial service marking the 20th anniversary of her death. It read: 'These are the units to measure the worth Of this woman as a woman regardless of birth. Not what was her station? But had she a heart? How did she play her God-given part?'
'Not what was her station, but has she a heart?' Moving lines of verse engraved by Diana statue

Schweitzer was a French theologian, writer and philosopher who lived from 1875 to 1965. He is well-known for his writing on Christian mysticism.
In 1952, he received a Nobel Peace Prize for a work of philosophy, becoming the eighth Frenchman to be awarded that prize.
Princess Diana was known to enjoy poetry, and was once given one in a silver frame by Dodi Al Fayed. Harry has also recited poems on public occasions, as has his wife Meghan.

The statue of Princess Diana was created by renowned artist Ian Rank-Broadley (pictured), whose image of the Queen has appeared on all coins in the UK and Commonwealth since 1998
Ian Rank-Broadley is no stranger to Royal sculpting – having sculpted The Queen for a display in the Supreme Court and having designed the effigy of the Queen which has been used on UK coins since 1998.

Statue 'depicts Di in final period of her life' aiming to reflect her 'warmth, elegance and energy'
A new statue depicting Princess Diana 'in the final period of her life' aims to reflect her 'warmth, elegance and energy', Kensington Palace said today - as it was unveiled to a mixed reaction from the public.
Well-wishers called the monument 'lovely' and 'gorgeous' as one Twitter user wrote: 'Wonderful, I knew it would be Diana with kids.'
However, others criticised the statue as unrealistic, with one commentator writing: 'Ok, I'll be the first to say it, I'm underwhelmed by the statue. Not a good likeness of Diana and what is she wearing?'
Princes William and Harry put aside their feud today to honour their mother in what would have been her 60th birthday.
The bronze made by Ian Rank-Broadley shows Diana with her arms around two children, and towered over the brothers as they revealed it to the world this afternoon.
In a joint statement The Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex said: '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.'
They added: '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'.
'Thank you to Ian Rank-Broadley, Pip Morrison and their teams for their outstanding work, to the friends and donors who helped make this happen, and to all those around the world who keep our mother's memory alive.'
Before the event, William appeared to be talking earnestly to his brother, who looked serious as they walked towards the ceremony in an area packed with 4,000 of Diana's most-loved flowers and plants surrounding a rectangular pool of water.
Commissioned by the brothers in 2017 to memorialise their mother and mark the twentieth anniversary of her death, Kensington Palace said the princes 'wanted the statue to recognise her positive impact in the UK and around the world, and help future generations understand the significance of her place in history'.
'The statue aims to reflect the warmth, elegance and energy of Diana, Princess of Wales, in addition to her work and the impact she had on so many people,' it added.
Diana statue sculptor crafted Queen's head that appears on all British coins
The statue of Princess Diana was created by renowned artist Ian Rank-Broadley, whose image of the Queen has appeared on all coins in the UK and Commonwealth since 1998.
The 69-year-old is one of the most renowned British sculptors, and produced a bronze depicting the harrowing realities of war that became the focal point of the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire.
Born in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, the artist was educated at Epsom School of Art and the Slade School before continuing his studies at the British School in Rome.
On his return to the UK he set up as a professional sculptor specialising in carved panels on monuments. In recognition of his talents he was made a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in 1996 and granted the Freedom of the City of London.
Among his royal connections, he is a trustee to The Prince's School of Traditional Arts, which was set up by the Prince of Wales in 2005. His works are in the permanent collections of the British Museum, London's National Portrait Gallery, the Ashmolean Museum, Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge and St Paul's Cathedral.
Announcing Mr Rank-Broadley's appointment in 2017, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry said: 'Ian is an extremely gifted sculptor and we know that he will create a fitting and lasting tribute to our mother.
'We look forward to unveiling the statue, which will allow all those who visit Kensington Palace to remember and celebrate her life and legacy.'
The statue commission who advised William and Harry on selecting the final design
Princes William and Harry put their personal animosity to one side this afternoon to unveil a statue of their late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, on what would have been her 60th birthday.
The private ceremony, which started at 2pm, saw Diana's sons gather along with the princess' siblings The Earl Spencer, The Lady Sarah McCorquodale, and The Lady Jane Fellowes.
They were also joined by the Statue Committee, a six-strong board of which Lady Sarah McCorquodale was a member.
It was tasked with commissioning and privately raising funds for the creation of the statue.
The committee also advised on the selection of the sculptor and worked with Historic Royal Palaces on the statue's installation.
Also on the committee was Julia Samuel, a godparent of Prince George who was also a close friend of the princess. The Duchess of Sussex is said to have turned to Mrs Samuel when she struggled with her mental health during pregnancy.
The committee was chaired by former SAS Major Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, who served as principal private secretary for William and Harry for eight years.
His son Billy was a pageboy at Wlliam and Kate's wedding and he was later asked to be a godfather to Prince George. Mr Lowther-Pinkerton was also equerry to the Queen Mother, in the 1980s.
Also part of the committee was John Barnes, the Chief Executive of Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity established by Royal Charter and contracted to look after six royal sites and 1,000 acres of formal gardens and lands.
Gallery owner Gerry Farrell was selected for the committee for his artistic direction. He is director of the Sladmore Contemporary gallery, which specialises in sculptures.
Guy Monson was the final member of the committee and is a city financier and trustee of the Invictus Games Foundation.
