Speaking with PeopleCostner revealed that Prince William shared that his late mother had a crush on the bodyguard actor.

“We met in this room and it was just us,” Costner recalled of the exchange.

“He came over and we shook hands… The first sentence out of his mouth was, ‘You know, my mom kind of liked you.'”

While remaining tight-lipped about the details of the entire private conversation, Costner called Prince William “very kind.”

Years before their interaction, Costner was introduced to Princess Diana by the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson.

“It was so cute,” Costner recalled to the outlet. “Sarah was the one who set this up.”

BODYGUARD 2

Prince William’s comment to Costner confirmed a long-standing rumor that Princess Diana would be the Yellowstone actor’s co-star in the sequel to the 1992 film Bodyguard starring Whitney Houston.

Talking about The Howard Stern Show On June 18, Costner shared that after Princess Diana’s death, the film was scrapped and things “got kind of ugly.”

“When Diana passed away about a year later, it leaked that I was preparing Bodyguard 2 with her,” he shared.

“And what happened was the Royal Family kind of turned on me a little bit.

“Like, ‘No, that’s not true.’ And it was really kind of ugly. And I let it go for a while.

Costner went on to say that he wanted to contact the Royal Family, but the Duchess of York advised against it.

However, he did it anyway.

“She said, ‘No, no, no, Kev, you don’t want to talk to them.’ I said, ‘Yes, I want to.’ I called them.”

“I said, ‘I’m telling you something, you need to stop because it’s true. And if you don’t stop, I’m going to start. Because it was.'”

SWEET DIANA

Before her tragic death and the events that unfolded before Costner, the 69-year-old called Princess Diana “very sweet” in her initial conversations about the film.

“She say yes. My life is about to change,’” he recalled.

“I didn’t really delve into it, but I thought I understood what she was saying. She was very kind.”

He revealed that Princess Diana was open to sharing an on-screen kiss during the film.

“The second time we talked, she said, ‘Is there going to be a kissing scene?’

“I said, ‘Do you want there to be one?'” To which she replied, “Yes.”

Costner concluded the conversation about the late princess by saying, “I wasn’t going to make the whole romance about her.

“But there would come a time when we would do that. And she was so sweet about it.”
