Princess Diana’s butler speaks out about her movie debut: ‘He can’t be serious!’
With the release of Paul Burell’s book The Royal Insider: My Life with the Queen, the King and Princess Diana, the former butler revealed a surprising offer made to the people’s princess before her passing.
The book has been excerpted by the Daily Mail and according to one of its quotes, Diana “was approached to appear in The Bodyguard II alongside Kevin Costner.”
“I put the call from Mr. Costner through to her in the sitting room and heard fits of giggles with her saying, ‘But I can’t sing! What would I be expected to do? I’m not sure but yes, OK, send it and I promise I will have a look,” he reminisced.
While Mr Burell claims the princess was highly flattered she reportedly said, “he can’t be serious” because such a project would be “entirely impossible” to her.
However, according to Kevin Costner himself, that is not how it went down .
Back in 2024 on The Howard Stern Show he claimed the opposite and said, “she goes, ‘My life’s about to change’, She said, ‘Is there going to be a kissing scene?’ And I said, ‘Do you want there to be one?’ And she said, ‘Yeah.’ And I said, ‘Then we’ll do that.’”
For those unversed, came out in 2007, and is an action comedy, Princess Diana passed away years before its release, in August of 1997, due to a high speed car chase in Paris.
Hosted by Jane Pauley. Featured: The Vatican’s Mosaic Studio; a fight over history at West Bank archaeological sites; Dan Levy on his new series “Big Mistakes”; the creative talents behind “Hacks”; the latest on the Artemis II lunar mission; the works of Renaissance artist Raphael; and the beauty of moss.

Jamie Bell was spotted on the Birmingham set of Peaky Blinders on Saturday, marking his first appearance since it was revealed that he will play Tommy Shelby’s son, Duke.
The new story takes place ten years after Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man and moves into the 1950s, a time of post-war changes and rising gang tensions.
The 40-year-old actor looked the part of a 1950s gangster, wearing a sharp three-piece suit, long navy coat and fedora while arriving in a classic jaguar at a building called ‘Shelby Construction.’
Around him, the set was filled with actors in period costumes, including policemen, giving a real sense of the era.
Jamie will lead the series alongside Charlie Heaton, Jessica Brown Findlay, Lashana Lynch and Lucy Karczewski.
The show’s creator, Steven Knight, described the new episodes as a story about a city rebuilding after the war, with Duke Shelby older, smarter and more passionate than ever.
He said, “The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel and it will be a hell of a ride.”
Foe the unversed, Jamie first became famous at 14 in Billy Elliot and later starred in films like King Kong and Rocketman.
Fans are excited to see how he steps into the Shelby family story and brings a new chapter to Peaky Blinders.
The Royal Family brought a burst of springtime charm to Windsor this Easter Sunday as King Charles and Queen Camilla led the festivities at St George’s Chapel.
Buckingham Palace shared a series of sunny snaps celebrating the occasion, following the announcement earlier this week that His Majesty would not issue an official Easter message.
The social media post featured a simple cross graphic with the message: “Happy Easter. He is risen!” alongside emojis of a chick hatching from an egg.
Before entering the chapel, the King shared a tender family moment, blowing a kiss to his three grandchildren and giving young Prince Louis a gentle tap on the shoulder.
Princess Kate marked the sovereign’s arrival with a perfect curtsy, standing beside the Earl of Wessex as the royal family filed into the service.
The Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte were pictured, like two peas in a pod.
Kate revisited a tailored boucle and chiffon midi dress previously worn during a joint engagement with Princess Anne and topped it off with a new, custom wide-brim saucer hat.
Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh, attended with his 18-year-old son, James, Earl of Wessex, making a rare public outing together.
Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh, and their daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, were absent.
Peter Phillips also joined the service, accompanied by his future stepdaughter, Harriet Sperling.
