Jamie Lee Curtis’s life-changing relationship to Princess Diana began with her during a pee break
When nature calls, nature Really calls.
Jamie Lee Curtis I am sharing my story about the life-changing friendship she made with Princess Diana It all started with an inadvertent pee break in the new edition of Time to Walk — the Apple Fitness+ iPhone and Apple Watch have audio experience features.
Curtis relates how she shot what she called the “terrible second” in the clip. A Fish Called Wanda, Fierce CreaturesIn London, 1995. She says, “We were told that Princess Diana and her children were coming to visit us that day.” “And I loved her so much. We shot all morning. When we took tea breaks, for me it was a pee break. I got in a golf car and drove the two-miles back to my dressing room. When I hear a knock on my door, Princess Diana has arrived!
The Everything Everywhere All at Once Star says that the Princess and her two-mile trek back from the set had finished, and the Princess and her children were already departing. She didn’t feel it appropriate to chase them or shout after them. So she wrote Diana and had it delivered at Kensington Palace.
“It said, “I’m so sorry that we didn’t get to meet. It was something I had been looking forward to as much as I admire you. Nature called and I didn’t get many breaks so I chose to be with them. You’re amazing, my deepest regrets. Jamie, my best wishes,” she recalls. “The next morning, I received a note from Kensington Palace, from Her Royal Highness Princess Diana. She said, ‘I am so sorry that I didn’t get to see you, also. I admire you and understand the nature of callings. You should definitely choose this. I hope that we will meet again in our lives. All my best wishes. It was a beautiful letter that I still have.”

Curtis found out that Princess Diana had been killed in a Paris car accident two years later. She opened a book by Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, and began to read it. The Path to Insight Meditation. She said that she was thinking of Diana as she read the preface to the book. It begins: “When people try to live mindfully at the time they die, they ask themselves two questions. Did I learn how to live wisely? Did I love well?
She realized that the royal lived well and was well loved through her relationship to her sons, and all of her AIDS activism.
Curtis states, “And then, I realized that, If this book was accurate, that meant that her life, regardless of whether it was cut terribly short or not, was complete.” Curtis says, “And that tragic day, these questions became the questions in my daily life.” These questions are the reason I can’t sleep at night without going to bed. She concluded, “There’s not a day that goes past that I don’t think about this.” It has become the core of my existence.”
