Queen and Prince Phillip Statues

I thought it was typing with arthritic hands!

I can't stop laughing about the Queen and the bullet proof vest.

Not very good likenesses except for Philip's stance.

Dear me, they are awful

I don't remember either of them looking like that, ever.

Me neither! They are truly awful aren’t they 😂😂😂😂

His name is Philip. One L. Not Phillip.

The statue of him isn’t too bad, but the one of the Queen is terrible. Unrecognisable apart from the handbag and the corgis.

Ooops sorry!

They’re appalling! I hope they both come back to haunt him!

She looks like Mrs Brown ….she looks wider in the shoulder than Phillip

Looked again her arms are very wrong most peoples arm bend is at the waist level hers is way higher no not good at all

I have just read that some people think the Queen's statue makes her look like Mrs Doubtfire.

I think they are really awful. They would probably both laugh their heads off if they could see it. They have no redeeming qualities, the artist should be locked in the Tower.

😂
They’re just awful aren’t they?

I can't stop laughing about the Queen and the bullet proof vest.

Me too🤣

Me three! And the Mrs Doubtfire comment 😂😂😂😂😂

Goodness. I thought the one of Princess Diana was pretty dire but these are dreadful.

What a shame that our longest reigning monarch, and her "one of a kind" husband, globally respected and admired, are going to be immortalised in such an unflattering way.

Cossy you have managed to start a thread where everyone is I agreement, a very rare occurrence. I agree they are awful.

In agreement.

Looks like they just stuck a headscarf on any old statue and said it was the queen.

Feel for the sculptor, he’s probably put his heart & soul into the project- but no nothing like the Queen

Didn't even notice Phil's statue was too taken aback by the one of the late Queen, dreadful!

The Queen was HM not HRH

Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? I see you have a second message criticising a post by the same person. Do you get pleasure out of making people feel small? Too much criticism and people will be scared to post at all for fear of being ridiculed.
Perhaps you should ignore these things even though they annoy you.

I think both statues are an embarrassment

I so agree! This is a dreadful statue. Criminal considering how much our late Queen was loved. I am sorry for the sculptor, who must be feeling dreadful after seeing the responses, but these statues should not have been passed as acceptable.

Your comment really hits the nail on the head. I wish the sculptor had chosen someone else to sculpt, someone not as loved and admired as the Queen and Prince Philip. These statues are almost caricatures.

Awful, no resemblance whatsover. What a waste of time and money.

I don't think they are that bad. Even without the corgis it is obvious who they are.
