But many are saying that the state doesn't hold much resemblance to the late Princess.
On Twitter, one wrote: "Not too impressed by statue gotta be said. Doesn’t look like her very much."
A second added: "The Diana statue really doesn't look much like her, does it?"
A third agreed, saying: "Not a fan. It doesn't look like her and while I get they wanted to depict her humanitarian work, it doesn't translate well with those children."
A fourth wrote: "I'm just going to say it. The Diana statue is ugly and doesn't look like her."
A fifth said: "Am I the only one who thinks Princess Diana’s statue doesn’t really look like her? Where’s her warm smile?"
And a sixth added: "Let's be brutally honest - this statue doesn't look anything like Diana, Princess of Wales, who was a lot softer and more beautiful."
