When actor Kevin Costner heard that Prince William wanted to meet with him, he didn’t hesitate for a second.

As per reports, the meeting between the two occurred a few years ago, though until now the ins and outs have remained a mystery. Iconic actor Costner, who enjoyed a meteoric rise to superstardom and became a certified Hollywood heartthrob during the 1990s, has now gone on record regarding a confession Prince William made involving his late mother, Princess Diana.

It’s somewhat difficult to believe that Kevin Costner is now 69 years old. With a fabled filmography and a glittering reputation that has stood the test of time, the actor is perhaps best associated with films such as Dances With Wolves, The Bodyguard, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Yet when a real prince calls, even he feels compelled to answer the summons.

That’s at least according to a recent interview with People Magazine, wherein Costner revealed he had been part of a special meeting with Prince William.

As per the interview in question, the Yellowstone star was in the UK when he got wind that William wanted to meet with him.
