According to the interview, Kevin Costner, known for his role in Yellowstone, was in the UK when he heard that Prince William wanted to meet him.
“I was in England when I got the message that the prince wanted to talk to me. I was like, ‘What?’… and then I said, ‘Okay,’” Costner told People Magazine.
“We met in a room, just the two of us. He came up to me, we shook hands… The first thing he said was, ‘You know, my mom had a bit of a crush on you.’”
Afterwards, as reported by Caras, they talked for about thirty minutes. Costner didn’t share everything from their private conversation but said his meeting with Prince William was “nice.”
Years before, there were rumors that Costner and Princess Diana were considering a sequel to the popular movie The Bodyguard from 1992.
“It was something that was moving forward quietly because that’s how I work,” Costner said. He mentioned that Sarah Ferguson introduced him to Princess Diana.
“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.”
