Queen Elizabeth statue baffles: 'Mrs Doubtfire'
Queen Elizabeth II is one of the most photographed people in history. Nevertheless, a new statue of the dead queen has succeeded so well in depicting her, several media write.
The bronze statue, placed next to a statue of Prince Philip in a park in Northern Ireland, depicts Elizabeth II wearing a headscarf, skirt and quilted waistcoat, with two of her corgis at her feet. On the internet, people think the statue is more reminiscent of Robin Williams' character Mrs Doubtfire from the 90s film of the same name, and according to British art historian Richard Morris, it is objectively difficult to see that the statue represents the Queen.
- I had no idea who it was until I saw the caption below. I thought, 'Oh my God, what a bad representation,'” Morris told CBS News.
