Kevin Costner recently shared a heartwarming memory he had with Prince William during a new interview. Costner mentioned that he received a message while in England that Prince William wanted to meet with him. Surprised by the request, Costner agreed and met with the Prince of Wales in a room where they had a one-on-one conversation. Prince William started the conversation by saying that his late mother, Princess Diana, had a fondness for Costner.
Costner described Prince William as a young man and expressed his admiration for him. He recalled that he had been in talks with Princess Diana about working together on a sequel to his hit movie “The Bodyguard.” The collaboration was quietly in progress, thanks to Sarah Ferguson, who introduced Costner to Princess Diana.
In addition to Costner, other Hollywood celebrities, such as Tom Selleck, have had the privilege of meeting Princess Diana. Selleck shared a special moment he had with Princess Diana at a state dinner in the White House in the 1980s. He was one of the three actors invited by Princess Diana to the dinner, which was held in her honor. Selleck described feeling anxious before meeting the royals but found Princess Diana to be charming, graceful, and beautiful. He also noted Prince Charles’s ability to make others feel important during their interactions.
During the dinner, Princess Diana danced with President Reagan, while Charles danced with Nancy Reagan. Selleck and Clint Eastwood opted to stay off the dance floor until a woman approached Selleck and urged him to dance with Princess Diana to avoid rumors about her dancing again with John Travolta. Reluctant to cut in on Travolta, Selleck eventually agreed and shared a dance with Princess Diana, noting her lovely demeanor and shy quality despite her conversational skills.
Overall, both Kevin Costner and Tom Selleck shared their unique experiences with Princess Diana, highlighting her grace, charm, and the memorable moments they had with her. These anecdotes offer a glimpse into the personal side of Princess Diana and the lasting impact she had on those who had the privilege of meeting her.
As we reflect on these stories, it’s evident that Princess Diana’s warmth and kindness touched the lives of many, leaving behind cherished memories that continue to be shared and celebrated by those who had the honor of knowing her.
