Maybe they were advised to (or simply wanted to) use a photo that was taken by them ("within the family") rather than one that the press/media had taken, either to avoid any chance of massive royalty payments, or any embarassment stemming from people saying "you hate the media, but then you've based the statue off this photo that the Daily Mail's guy famously took in 1995" etc.Re Diana’s outfit choice;
Could it have been chosen by William and Henry because it evokes special memories for them? It was not an iconic outfit to the rest of the world, but perhaps to them it holds a special place in their hearts so it was a personal touch.
I can’t think of any other reason that it would have been chosen.
can't have naughty words in the thread titles.Cassandra333 said:@Chita Sorry hun, I didn't change the title and I'm not sure why it's been changed. Must be something to do with the rules
It was feckin awful in every way nothing to remotely resemble her and just a blot on a lovely landscape.Thanks @Chita for the lovely title.
Thanks @Cassandra333 for the new thread and recap.
I think that Ian should post the original sculpt, which was done in clay. It is highly likely that it looks much better with many more details.
Unfortunately creating molds(from the clay sculpture) loses detail, and then the pouring of bronze loses even more.
Taking molds often also damages the original clay work which rarely gets restored unless there is the (financial element) need to preserve the clay sculpture by baking it in a kiln.
The scale of the work(size) IMO completely eliminates the possibility.
But it's understanble that it's disliked, even the outfit is a unexpected choice.
Let's hope at least photos of the clay work are shown.

None of those. She will have a pure gold one of herself...Wonder which one the Doxy will have at the shithole ranch??
and if 6 is a good boy he can pull her arm down and out of a suitable exit will drop some scooby snacks for him....Just saw Kate at centre court in Wimbledon..she looked so classy, and regal, she is amazing considering the turmoil of the PWB and co.
