Prince William holds back his emotions when discussing his late mother, Princess Diana, in a manner similar to Prince Harry.
Fans have noted the emotional similarities between the two brothers, especially after actor Kevin Costner shared his interactions with the future King. Costner, who was rumored to have a close friendship with Diana, reflected on his fond memories of her, portraying her as humble and kind.
In a meeting with Prince William, Costner recalled the prince saying, "You know, my mom kind of fancied you," which left a strong impression on Costner. He described William as a "quite a young man" and remembered the meeting fondly.
Costner's potential collaboration with Diana on a sequel to The Bodyguard was never realized, as the project was shelved following her untimely death in 1998. Costner mentioned that the Royal Family’s reaction contributed to the project's cancellation.
Prince Harry has also struggled with his emotions when talking about his mother. In a conversation with Nikki Scott, founder of Armed Forces charity Scotty’s Little Soldiers, Harry opened up about his grief journey. He shared how he initially felt the need to stay sad to honor his mother's memory, but eventually realized she would want him to be happy.
Both brothers continue to carry the emotional legacy of Princess Diana, each finding their own ways to honor her memory while dealing with their grief.
