How Sarah Ferguson Convinced Princess Diana To Star In Her ‘First’ Movie

Princess Diana would’ve starred in her first movie after her divorce from Prince Charles if she didn’t pass away in a fatal car crash in Paris.

The Princess of Wales was linked to actor Kevin Costner by her friend, Sarah Ferguson. During a recent interview with People, Costner revealed that it was Fergie who set him up for a meeting with the late royal.

The actor also said that he remembered Ferguson as a good friend to Princess Diana and as someone who was there to support her all the way.

During Costner and Princess Diana’s phone conversation, the former told the latter that he would be writing one part in the movie “Bodyguards 2” with Princess Diana in mind. Costner then asked Princess Diana if she would be interested to appear in the movie, and she said yes.

But even though Princess Diana was on board with the project, the mom of Prince William and Prince Harry had one huge worry in her mind. She asked Costner if there would be any kissing scenes between the two of them.

“She was a little nervous because I think her life was very governed, and I said, ‘yeah, there’s going to be a little bit of that, but we can make that okay too,’” he said.

However, Princess Diana never made it to the set of “Bodyguards 2.” According to The Guardian, Costner received the final copy of the script one day before Princess Diana died in Paris.

And since the production team didn’t want to replace Princess Diana with another female actress, they simply decided to cancel the entire project altogether.

Members of the Royal Family are not allowed to appear in television shows and movies for personal reasons. This is why Meghan Markle had to quit her career as an actress before she wed Prince Harry.

But since Princess Diana was no longer an official member of the Royal Family, there shouldn’t have been any problem if she wanted to try her luck in the entertainment industry.
