Unforgettable encounter
The royal didn't stop at just wardrobe assistance. Streisand recalls how Diana encouraged her to soak in the applause from the crowd. The Princess even asked Streisand, "Do you know how wonderful you are?" A question that left Streisand pondering her own worth and the wonderfulness of Diana herself.
A crush on the king?
But Princess Diana wasn't the only royal to make an impression on Streisand. The memoir also reveals that Prince Charles had a bit of a crush on the American actress before he married Diana. Streisand recalls how the prince found her "dazzling" and shared "special memories" during their friendship.
Streisand humorously notes that had she played her cards right, she could have been the first Jewish princess. A cheeky nod to her close friendship with Prince Charles before he met Diana.
'My Name Is Barbra' is out now, and it's a must-read for fans of Streisand and royal enthusiasts alike!
