Jamie Lee Curtis recalled an interaction with Princess of Wales in 1997

The Ella McCay star recalled how she once came close to meeting the princess when she and her then-young sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, visited the set of Jamie's 1997 film Fierce Creatures.

Having unfortunately missed one another, Jamie wrote Diana a letter and received a reply from her two days later.

Looking visibly emotional, the Freaky Friday actress said: "She was an extraordinary person.

"She was – what an example. And look at where I live, and look at the example of the leaders, look at the example of the people leading my country and the hatred that they feel."

The outing came as William travelled to Colwyn Bay in north Wales to learn about the work of the Marine Conservation Society's Youth Ocean Network, which has been publicising the wildlife-rich coastline to their peers. 

He met Gareth Cunnigham, the MCS' director of conservation and policy, who said of the prince: "There was proper engagement – you could see he was really passionate about the project and encouraging us to do more as well."

Speaking about the significance of the waters off Colwyn Bay, Gareth added: "The whole bay here is globally important for sea birds, it is a really important bit of coastline, but it’s about how we regenerate the sea, and how do we do that with people's engagement?

"So it's starting to bring back oysters and other species, that will clean up the water, but also doing it in a way that will help people's health, their engagement, their wellbeing and their livelihoods as well."
