The monument in the form of a torch from the Statue of Liberty, donated to the city in 1987 by the International Herald Tribune newspaper, after the death of the princess in 1997, next to the tunnel under the Alma Bridge, and then the renaming of the square in 2019 to Diana Princess of Wales Square, is perceived in the public consciousness as a monument to Lady Di and her struggle. In 2008, it was even necessary to open a new Flame of Freedom in the garden of the US Embassy in the presence of Presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and George W. Bush, symbolizing the relations between the two countries.
