A statue of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed, who
died together in a Paris car crash in 1997, will soon be displayed at
Harrods department store in central London, owner Mohamed al Fayed says.
The work commissioned by al Fayed shows the
couple, who were on vacation together when they died, holding hands and
gazing into each other's eyes
beneath a soaring albatross
-- a symbol of eternity and good
fortune.
Diana is wearing a dress with a plunging neckline,
while Dodi's shirt is unbuttoned
to reveal a bare chest.
The couple and their driver Henri Paul died Aug.
31, 1997 when their Mercedes crashed into a pillar in a Paris
underpass
. The only survivor,
Diana's bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, was badly hurt.
The new work's title, "Innocent Victims," reflects al Fayed's belief
that his son and the princess were murdered, despite a French inquiry that
blamed Paul.
"It is a tribute to what might have been if the
couple's car had not crashed on Aug. 31, 1997," said Bill Mitchell, a
Fayed family friend who crafted the work at a foundry
in east London. Press photographers were
allowed to see it for the first time Wednesday.
"The affection in which Diana is still held is remarkable, but I knew
Dodi and far from being the playboy he was portrayed as, in reality he was
a charming, hardworking film producer who had made his own way in life,"
he said.
Al Fayed said the bronze statue would allow people to honor the couple's memory with
"warmth and love."
