When actor Kevin Costner heard that Prince William wanted to meet with him, he didn’t hesitate for a second. As per reports, the meeting occurred a few years ago, though the details have remained largely unknown. Recently, however, Costner shared a touching confession that Prince William made about his late mother, Princess Diana.
Kevin Costner, now 69, has a legendary filmography and a reputation that has stood the test of time. Best known for his roles in films like “Dances With Wolves,” “The Bodyguard,” and “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,” Costner has enjoyed a storied career in Hollywood.
In a recent interview with People Magazine, Costner revealed that he had a special meeting with Prince William while he was in the UK. The “Yellowstone” star recounted how he received a message that Prince William wanted to talk to him.
“I happened to be in England, and I got this message that the prince would love to talk, and I said, ‘What?’… and then I went, ‘Okay,’” Costner told People. “We met in this room, and it was just us. He walked up, and we shook hands… The first line out of his mouth was, ‘You know, my mom kind of fancied you.’”
Following that, the two spoke for about half an hour. Costner did not want to reveal all the details of the private conversation, but he described his meeting with Prince William as “sweet.”
Years earlier, Costner had reportedly been in contact with Princess Diana over collaborating on a sequel to the hit 1992 film “The Bodyguard.”
“There was a moment that that was really flying down the tracks, very quietly, because it’s how I operate,” Costner explained, revealing that he had been introduced to Princess Diana by Sarah Ferguson.
“It was so sweet. Sarah was the one that set this up. 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.”
