The Meeting
When actor Kevin Costner heard that Prince William wanted to meet him, he didn’t hesitate. This meeting occurred a few years ago, but details remained a mystery until now. Costner, who rose to superstardom in the 1990s with hits like “Dances With Wolves,” “The Bodyguard,” and “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,” recently shared a confession Prince William made involving his late mother, Princess Diana.
The Confession
In a recent interview with People Magazine, Costner revealed the special meeting with Prince William. While in the UK, Costner received a message that the prince wanted to talk. Intrigued, he agreed. They met in a private room, where Prince William immediately shared, “You know, my mom kind of fancied you.”
The Conversation
According to Caras, the two spoke for about half an hour. Costner described the meeting as “sweet,” though he chose not to reveal all the details. Years earlier, Costner had been in contact with Princess Diana about collaborating on a sequel to “The Bodyguard.” Introduced by Sarah Ferguson, Diana and Costner had begun to discuss the project quietly.
The Introduction
Costner explained that Sarah Ferguson had set up the introduction to Princess Diana. He appreciated Ferguson’s gesture, noting, “Sarah was very cool… when she could have been going, ‘Well, I’m a princess too. What about me?’ She didn’t do that at all. Diana and I began to talk.”
Kevin Costner’s unexpected meeting with Prince William revealed a touching connection to Princess Diana and showcased the actor’s enduring appeal.
