US EditionQueen Elizabeth II Memorial: Winning Design Announced
- Foster + Partners were selected to create a memorial dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II in St James's Park, with the completed design set to be revealed in April 2026.
- The competition followed the Queen’s death in September 2022 and featured a shortlist of five designs selected with input from the public, stakeholders, and cultural experts, while King Charles had no involvement in the selection.
- The winning design includes a new translucent glass bridge inspired by the Queen’s 1947 wedding tiara, statues of the Queen and Prince Philip near Buckingham Palace, and contemplative garden spaces for visitors.
- Lord Foster said the memorial would offer a gentler, quieter, more contemplative atmosphere and symbolize Her Majesty's legacy through a unifying bridge, while Lord Janvrin praised the plan's sensitivity.
- The design is subject to refinement before the 2026 unveiling, with decisions on sculptors and statue designs still pending, and public reaction might influence final elements of the memorial.
