Prince William’s royal visit to Rio de Janeiro has been memorable for many reasons, but his visit to the Christ the Redeemer statue on Wednesday, November 5 was especially poignant. While visiting Rio’s most iconic landmark, many were reminded of Prince William’s late mother, Princess Diana.
Princess Diana visited the Brazilian capital city in 1991 with her then-husband, Prince Charles, on an official royal visit. The late Princess of Wales posed for a memorable photograph at the Christ the Redeemer statue, and now Prince William has followed in her footsteps. At the iconic statue, Prince William posed for an identical photograph, 34 years later.
