I did recognise the corgis, otherwise, I would never have realised who they were.

Phillip!

It is Philip

The Queen was HM not HRH

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.

Probably in a 100 years someone will pull them down and say they were oppressive, no worries.

They look almost cartoon like, but perhaps that's intentional.

Awful !

The postures are vaguely like them, but the facial features are miles off.

MissAdventure Wed 11-Sept-24 13:51:27

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

Phillip!

It is a horrible statue not at all representative of the Queen or Prince Philip.

They are awful. It doesn’t capture the essence of them at all.

Not great

I don't think the statue looks like the Queen. You can tell who they are because of the corgis.

Sorry if there’s already a thread, but what does everyone think of the new statues of the late HRHs ??
