Kevin Costner reveals another royal was instrumental in getting Princess Diana involved in a sequel to his 1992 hit film The Bodyguard.
In the latest edition of PeopleTV’s Couch Surfing, the actor and Oscar-winning director confirmed that Prince William and Prince Harry‘s mother was interested in the role, similar to that of Whitney Houston’s in the original movie. However, it was Sarah Ferguson, affectionately known as “Fergie” to royal fans, who facilitated their connection.
“Sarah was really important. I always respect Sarah because she’s the one that set up the conversation between me and Diana,” Costner says.
