Kevin Costner has shared plot details for his planned ‘Bodyguard’ sequel starring Princess Diana and said he clashed with the royal family over it
Costner, 69, shared plot details for the canceled sequel on The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday, June 18, confirming that a script featuring Diana had been written at the time of the royal’s death in August 1997.
“Princess Di, I meet her the next day at a party and I’m looking at her like everybody else. And she finally walks over and goes, ‘I know who you are!’ And I said, ‘What the f–k are you talking about?’ She goes, ‘I know you’re here to watch over me.’ And I said, ‘No, I’m not actually. I’m watching over a horse,’” Costner continued. “In the story, she had broken with the royal family.
Following Diana’s death, Costner felt the movie was no longer viable. “I could not replace Princess Di,” he said. “Kind of like, if I couldn’t have done Bodyguard with Whitney, I don’t think I was gonna make it with anybody.” “The royal family kind of turned on me a little bit,” he said. “It was like, ‘No, that’s not true.’ It got actually kind of ugly. I let it go for a while. It just got uglier and uglier,” he said. “I called them up and said, ‘Stop. You need to stop because it is true.’”
