In a joint tribute, the royal brothers said: "Today, on what would have been our mother's 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength and character – qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better.
"Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy.
"Thank you to Ian Rank-Broadley, Pip Morrison and their teams for their outstanding work, to the friends and donors who helped make this happen, and to all those around the world who keep our mother’s memory alive."
Prince William, 39, was pictured driving in London ahead of the event, which will took place at the Sunken Gardens at Kensington Palace.
It marked the first time William and Prince Harry have been pictured together since the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral in April. The Duke of Sussex flew to the UK from Los Angeles last Friday in order to complete a period of isolation before attending the event.
The date marks what would have been Diana's 60th birthday, with tributes being paid around the world to the late Princess.
Royal fans flocked to the gates of Kensington Palace to leave flowers, banners and cards.
William and Harry, who looked smart in dark suits with ties, arrived a few minutes early for the unveiling and stopped in a shrub-lined path outside the garden to chat to the chairman of the statue committee Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton.
The royal brothers set the tone for the event as they shared a laugh with their former right hand man and could be heard chatting animatedly with the ex-Army officer.
The trio spent a few minutes together before Lowther-Pinkerton ushered them down a small flight of steps and into the garden to meet their first guests.
Harry let out a laugh of appreciation when he saw his mother's siblings and older brother William, who was a step ahead, greeted Lady Sarah McCorquodale kissing her on both cheeks and went on to warmly welcome his aunt Lady Jane Fellowes and uncle Earl Spencer.
Ever the joker Harry kissed his aunt Sarah on both cheeks then gave her two mock-pecks as she pointed her finger at him, and he also said his hellos to the rest of the Spencer family.
The stunning artwork, cast in bronze, shows the statue surrounded by three children and depicts Diana in the later years of her life.
In a statement, Kensington Palace said: "The statue aims to reflect the warmth, elegance and energy of Diana, Princess of Wales, in addition to her work and the impact she had on so many people.
"The figure of Diana, Princess of Wales is surrounded by three children who represent the universality and generational impact of the Princess' work.
"The portrait and style of dress was based on the final period of her life as she gained confidence in her role as an ambassador for humanitarian causes and aims to convey her character and compassion."
Despite the shortened guest list, one source who attended said they felt it benefited to the occasion.
"You had two of her sisters and her brother and her sons reminiscing," they said. "It was beautiful, and more poignant arguably because it was an intimate family occasion. Had it been 100 people it might not have been the same."
The brothers were seen speaking to the Sunken Garden's designer, Pip Morrison.
Pip said of the garden: "We have worked carefully to ensure that the new layout and planting scheme complements the statue, providing a calming place for people who visit Kensington Palace to remember the Princess."
"We wanted to capture her warmth and humanity while showcasing the impact she had across generations. I hope that people will enjoy visiting the statue and the Sunken Garden, and taking a moment to remember the Princess."
