Princess Diana Said She Couldn't Date Tom Cruise for One Reason After Taking Harry and William to Movie Set

Princess Diana talking to Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman at a movie premiere.

Princess Diana had the opportunity to meet dozens of celebrities during her time in the Royal Family, and after her separation from Prince Charles, she became one of the world’s most eligible women.

In a video created to honor the late royal’s birthday, McGrady shared that they encountered celebrities at Kensington Palace quite often. But Diana, who had previously met Cruise at a 1992 movie premiere, received a special invitation to the original Mission Impossible movie set.
