Princess Elizabeth was born in a townhouse in Bruton Street in Mayfair<\/a>.<\/p>\nLord Janvrin, chairman of the Queen Elizabeth Memorial Committee, said the image showed her in her public role; if the statue had shown her on horseback, as had been discussed, it would have been more about her personal hobby.<\/p>\n
The memorial committee had to decide how to represent the late Queen to future generations and Lord Janvrin said they had wanted to show her “very strong sense of duty” and sense of public service.<\/p>\n

The memorial project in St James’s Park, designed by a team headed by architect Lord Foster, also includes a bust of the Queen in later years and a bronze statue of Prince Philip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
