Cindy Crawford has now reacted to her cameo appearance in “The Crown”. She also recalled a meeting with Diana and William.
The model shows the scene from “The Crown”
In an Instagram post, Crawford published an excerpt from the second part of the sixth season of the Netflix hit about the British royal family. In the scene, she is brought up in a conversation between Prince Philip (Jonathan Pryce) and Prince William (Ed McVey). In the scene from episode five, which premiered on December 14, the young prince opened the door to his Eton dormitory to find that his grandfather had paid him a surprise visit. There were pictures of Crawford and her colleagues Naomi Campbell (53) and Claudia Schiffer (53) on the wall. “Nothing to be ashamed of! Do they have names?” Pryce asked in his role as Philip. “In my day it was Rita Hayworth, Betty Grable and Lana Turner.”
Her “little cameo” brought back memories of meeting the royals for Crawford: “I vividly remember visiting Kensington Palace to meet Diana and a teenage William (who was watching the ‘Super Models.’ ‘ had discovered).”
“Like I’m talking to a friend”
In her story she posted a photo together with Diana, which she had already published on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the princess’s death in 2017. At the time she wrote: “I remember this inspiring woman today. This photo was taken at Kensington Palace. Princess Diana somehow got the number in my office and called to ask for me.” She continued in her 2017 tribute: “My assistant was in shock! We finally got together and she asked if I would come over for tea next time I was in London – I think Prince William was just getting started started noticing models and she thought it would be a sweet surprise for him and Prince Harry.”
She was nervous and didn’t know what to wear for the occasion. But then “it was like I was talking to a friend.” She raved about Diana: “She was a class act and showed us all what a modern princess should be.”
Six seasons of “The Crown”
The first season of “The Crown” started in 2016. The successful Netflix series ends with the sixth season. The final season was released in two parts. The first episodes appeared on November 16th and covered the time surrounding Diana’s accidental death. The second part, which appeared on December 14th, was about more recent events in the royal family such as the wedding of Charles (75) and Camilla (76) and the beginnings of the relationship between William (41) and Kate (41).
