'Dead Harry' Statue To Go On Display In Central London
A sculpture of a "dead" Prince Harry in Army uniform clutching a cameo locket of his late mother, Princess Diana, is coming to London next week.
The statue, by American artist Daniel Edward, is intended to be seen as a memorial to honour those who are willing but unable to serve in Iraq.
The memorial will go on display at the Trafalgar Hotel in central London next Thursday as part of the Bridge Art Fair.
In May this year, the head of the British Army, General Sir Richard Dunnatt, said Harry would not be sent to Iraq because of "unacceptable risks" and a "number of specific threats" made directly against him.
The memorial features Prince Harry, with his unfired gun still holstered, laid out in front of the Union Jack while a desert vulture perches on his boot.
The sculpture depicts the Prince's earless head, in reference to reports that militia leaders said they planned to send him back to his grandmother "without his ears".
David Kesting, a spokesman for the art fair, said: "This war memorial is dedicated to the brave at heart.
"But the brave men and women Prince Harry inspired to enlist for combat following his announcement to serve six months in Iraq are not forgotten."
