Prince William reveals Princess Diana's admiration for Kevin Costner

Prince William recently revealed to actor Kevin Costner that his mother, Princess Diana, held a significant admiration for him. Costner recalled an unexpected meeting in England where the Prince informed him that Diana would not have forgiven him if he had not shared this sentiment.

The two had previously been in contact through Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, regarding a potential film project. Costner had planned to film a sequel to his hit movie ‘The Bodyguard’, with the intention of casting Princess Diana in the lead role. The script was designed to reflect aspects of her life, portraying a member of the royal family facing intense media scrutiny.

Diana had reportedly expressed immediate interest in the project, even inquiring about the inclusion of a kiss in the script. However, the film never materialized following her death in a car accident in Paris in August 1997.
