UNFORGETTABLE MEETING WITH THE UNREPRESENTED PRINCESS: The legendary actress Joan Collins remembered the CONVERSATIONS she had with Princess Diana

' Princess Diana was extraordinary. We both wore a dress by designer Bruce Oldfield ', she wrote for People magazine.

She says the day after she and Diana met, all the tabloids had headlines that Dynasty's Di met Alexis. Namely, 'Dynasty' was a soap opera that got Collins famous and in which she embodied the villain Alexis Carrington Colby. As the actress explained, the princess wore very similar clothes as her character, so she got a nickname associated with the series.

Joan met Diana a few times after that and she was always charming and down to earth, she never acted conceited. ‘She once asked me about paparazzi who created a barrier with their bodies on the red carpet. She said, 'Oh my God, is that always the case? 'I replied, 'You'll get used to it.'She commented: "I don't really know," the actress wrote.

The last time they met was when Diana had lunch at a restaurant in London. She thinks that King Juan Carlos of Spain was in her company with someone else. ‘ As she was leaving the restaurant, she walked past me, winked, and said,‘ One of the most boring lunches I’ve ever had, ’ Collins recalled.

The ‘Dynasty’ star says the princess introduced the British, royal family into the 21st century because she was very modern. ‘She was the first person to hold the hands of AIDS patients and walk along the road where there were mines. There is no one like her ', the actress emphasized.

Joan cried for days after Diana died, and she was that sad only when her parents passed away and US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

‘ I can’t think of anyone who was so popular. Of course, Queen Elizabeth is quite popular, but Diana was a phenomenon, ' she explained.
