On the eve of the eighth anniversary of Princess Diana's death, she has been honoured with a new sculpture dedicated to both her and her companion Dodi Fayed, who also died in the 1997 Paris car crash.
The bronze statue, entitled Innocent Victims, was commissioned by Dodi's father, Harrods owner Mohammed Al Fayed. Created by family friend Bill Mitchell, it is due to occupy a special place inside the legendary London store.
The work depicts Diana and Dodi smiling into each other's eyes as they apparently run along a beach together, with a bird poised for flight at the tip of their joined hands. Dodi's shirt is unbuttoned and the Princess is clad in a skimpy, clinging dress.

The statue:
I think this is in very poor taste.

At first I felt sorry for her and thought Prince Charles was a cad. I still think he is a cad but she was just as bad if not worse.

I understand the Pricess Di head is a giant Pez dispenser.

I love it. Does it come in a size small enough to use as a hood ornament for my tundra

I want to string it with garland and Christmas lights this December, and hang from it dozens of tiny copies of itself.
Can it be any more ghastly?

It looks like that bird is trying to tow their two figures into the sky.

O-M-G! Heard about this earlier today and just knew it was Dodi's wacko father who had it made. He'd still give his eye teeth to claim relations with royalty... even through death. How disgusting.

The bird appears to be a sea gull. Appropriate, as gulls tend to hang around trash....
Alas, the curvature of the bird's wings appears to indicate that it has suffered some sort of skeletal injury.
