- Prince William and Prince Harry were reunited for an unveiling ceremony of a statue in memory of their late mother, Princess Diana, on Thursday at London's Kensington Palace.
Diana, Princess of Wales, passed away in 1997 after a car accident in Paris at the age of 36.
The unveiling coincided with Diana's to-be 60th birthday and took place in the palace's Sunken Garden.
Designed by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, the statue depicts Diana standing alongside William and Harry as children above the words 'Diana, Princess of Wales.'
Harry flew in from the US last week in order to complete a quarantine period inline with COVID-19 regulations.
The two brothers were seen reunited for the first time since April, when they were in attendance of the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral.
Hundreds of visitors gathered outside of Kensington Palace to leave their anniversary tributes.

Demonstrators could be seen scuffling with police officers at Parliament Square. At least one protester was arrested.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson indicated last week that he would be cautious in lifting restrictions as it is still unclear how protected the population would be against a potential new surge of COVID-19 cases as well as the spread of the new Delta virus variant.
June 21 was set as the earliest date to bring in 'stage four' of the COVID-related unlocking process allowing pubs, clubs, theatres and cinemas to operate without capacity limits, nightclubs to reopen, and restrictions on social gatherings to be lifted.

Dense clouds of smoke rose from the so-called 'Palisades fire,' extending over 1,325 acres near Topanga State Park. According to local media, over 500 homes were evacuated. Firefighters with hoses worked over the terrains, trying to put out the trail of fire. Due to the topology of the landscape, aircraft flew around, dropping red fire retardant over the affected area. A resident of the area said, "Hopefully, we can put his out. The wind is starting to pick up. I am breathing a lot of smoke too. Funny didn't have to wear my mask today, but evidently, it would have been a good thing to bring, so I'm going to get out of here."
