Hollywood actor, Kurt Russell, has revealed Prince William, Prince Harry, the late Princess Diana, and then-Prince Charles stayed at his home for a secret family holiday in the 1990s.
The Golden Globe nominee, 74, is set to appear on this Saturday’s episode of The Jonathan Ross Show on ITV1 and ITVX. During the conversation, Kurt recounts how he crossed paths with King Charles and Princess Diana in the early 1990s.
Speaking to Jonathan Ross, he said: “I met Diana – it was the royal premiere for Backdraft. I was sitting inbetween her and Charles. I understand her difficulties with paparazzi and all that kind of thing.
“I said if you ever want to go somewhere that’s pretty under control, we’ll work it out – let me know.”
The Daily Mail reports, he added: “She [Diana] brought the two boys and they stayed there for a week and had a wonderful time.
“I wasn’t there, none of us were there at the time but she wrote some really nice cards and things like that.”
The actor also explained how the future King of England was “sleeping in his son’s room”.
Asked by Jonathan on whether Kurt, who is on the show to promote The Madison, has any plans to retire from showbusiness, he replied: “You do run into these time periods where you think sometimes but there is something about acting, it never gets old.”
On August 31, 1997, Diana was tragically killed in a car accident in Paris. She was 36 years old when she died.
The crash occurred shortly after midnight in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris. The Mercedes-Benz, driven by Henri Paul, was speeding to evade paparazzi after leaving the Ritz Hotel.
