**Los Angeles, CA** – Actress Jamie Lee Curtis has shared a heartfelt tribute to the late Princess Diana on Instagram, praising her compassion, courage, and mindful approach to life. Curtis recalled a near-miss encounter with the Princess on the set of “A Fish Called Wanda, Fierce Creatures,” describing how she missed meeting Diana and her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, due to a trip to her dressing room.
The actress subsequently wrote a letter to the Princess, expressing her admiration. To Curtis’s surprise, Diana responded, expressing her own excitement about meeting Curtis in the future. Tragically, Diana passed away just two months later in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997.
In her Instagram post, Curtis reflected on Diana’s decision to leave her marriage to King Charles III and her dedication to humanitarian causes, such as putting her hand on the leg of a young man with HIV/AIDS and walking in a minefield. Curtis wrote, “I immediately thought about Princess Diana and her learning to live wisely. How she got out of that bullsh-t sham contract of a marriage and how she talked about her own personal issues and demonstrated courage and compassion.” She also emphasized Diana’s deep love for her sons, noting that she loved them “in a way a royal person never had.”
Curtis concluded her tribute by stating that she is “comforted in knowing that [Diana] lived a mindful, wise, loving life.”
Princess Diana’s legacy continues to resonate today. The late Princess of Wales was aware of the dangers she faced due to her public profile and even underwent self-protection training, including shooting lessons, to prepare for potential threats. According to sources, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning a Netflix documentary to honor Diana’s memory, potentially premiering in 2027 as part of their renewed deal with the streaming service.
