Princess Diana had a crush on Kevin Costner

Recently, Kevin Costner made a fascinating revelation: Princess Diana had feelings for him. During a private meeting a few years ago, Prince William revealed this to the Hollywood star, who was well-known for his roles in Dances With Wolves and The Bodyguard, and the actor was taken aback.

The 69-year-old Costner got an unexpected invitation from Prince William while he was in the UK. Costner recounted the unforgettable encounter to PEOPLE magazine, saying, "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.'"

It was a private meeting, just the two of them in a room. Prince William walked up, and they both shook hands as Costner recalled. "Well, my mom kind of fancied you," was the first thing the Prince said.

Costner was taken aback by this revelation, considering Prince William to be "quite the young man." Diana's appreciation did not come as a complete surprise to Costner. Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, had introduced them, and they were even planning to work together on a The Bodyguard sequel.
