After her divorce from then-Prince Charles, Princess Diana apparently had the opportunity to pivot into a career as an actress—how the late royal felt about that opportunity is still a matter of debate though.
The roots of this story go back to the 1990s. After the massive success of the 1992 movie The Bodyguard, starring Whitney Houston as massively-successful actress and singer and Kevin Costner as her protective bodyguard, Costner considered making a sequel to the film. In The Bodyguard 2, Costner's character would be tasked with protecting a princess plagued by stalkers and paparazzi.
