And it’s beautiful.

This weekend would have marked Princess Diana's 56th birthday, with the mother to Princes William and Harry dying tragically at just 36-years-old.

With the 20th anniversary of her death coming next month, there are numerous tributes set to honour the late Princess of Wales.

Prince William and Prince Harry have commissioned a statue of their mother to stand in the public gardens of Kensington Palace and the Diana Award has been introduced to continue her work, celebrating the young. Not to mention, an ITV documentary is being made to celebrate her life, with both of her sons playing an active role in the project.

Starting the tributes early, Princess Diana’s closest family gathered at her former home on what would have been her 56th birthday to take part in a rededication ceremony, conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Both Princes William and Harry were in attendance, joined by the Duchess of Cambridge and Diana’s grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Also present were Diana’s siblings - her brother, Earl Spencer, and her two older sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Baroness Fellowes.

‘I am in a better place about it than I have been for a long time, where I can talk about her more openly, talk about her more honestly, and I can remember her better, and publicly talk about her better,’ Prince William explained about his mother in a recent interview with British GQ. ‘It has taken me almost twenty years to get to that stage.’
