One of Diana, Princess of Wales’s favourite locations has been redesigned as it becomes home to the statue commemorating her life and legacy.
The Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace has been reshaped and now includes even more of Diana’s favourite flowers. The new layout has been revealed just hours before her sons, the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex, unveil the statue they commissioned to celebrate their mother which will sit amidst the blooms.
The Sunken Garden has been redesigned by Pip Morrison, working with the Gardens and Estates team at Historic Royal Palaces which cares for Kensington Palace. They have spent over 1,000 hours planting flowers and bulbs in the garden with more than 4,000 plants taking root under their care.
