Kevin Costner and Princess Diana ‘s relationship rumours were only fueled by Prince William’s introduction

Before her untimely death, the public began to speculate that Diana and Kevin had a bit of a romance going on. It was believed that they had heart eyes when discussing a potential collaboration on The Bodyguard movie.

Kevin often reflects fondly on those memories, painting a picture of Diana that was humble, gentle, and kind.

However, he’s never really confirmed anything going on between. The closest we got to a confession was when he revealed what Prince William said to him when they met up.

Kevin 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.'”

As for the actor’s thoughts on the royal, he was pretty impressed. He called him “quite a young man,” noting that the experience was “very sweet.” Kevin walked away form the meeting with “such fond memories of who he was, how I was approached and what we talked about.”

He didn’t get into the specifics, though, once again leaving fans to speculate on his connection to the Royal Family. While everyone would love all the details, they’ll need to just wait and pray we’ll get answers one day. However, we do have his sweet reminiscence about those beautiful moments with Diana.

While things might be smoothed over with William now, his family might be to blame for why The Bodyguard was scrapped: “When Diana passed, about a year later it, had leaked out that I was prepping Bodyguard 2 with her,” he shared during an interview with Howard Stern. “And what happened was, the Royal Family kind of turned on me a little bit.”

Ultimately, the project was ditched because things “got kind of ugly,” but Kevin did get to spend some memorable time with Diana. He said: “There was a moment that that was really flying down the tracks, very quietly, because it’s how I operate. It was so sweet. Sarah [Ferguson] 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.”
