In 1997, Chris O’Donnell was invited to have dinner with Princess Diana before a royal screening of his movie “In Love and War,” according to Showbiz CheatSheet. O’Donnell asked his parents and his sister Sally to join him as he dined with the People’s Princess — and it sounds like the O’Donnell clan had a blast. O’Donnell talked about his dinner with Diana during a 2018 appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
O’Donnell told Colbert, “It was funny because she got up to leave and everyone stands and leaves and as soon as she left, my sister grabbed [Princess Diana’s] teaspoon and put it in her purse. [My sister] still has it. [Princess Diana] was amazing.” He continued, “We first met her at the film, and she sat next to me and I was pretty nervous. And when we sat down at dinner, she couldn’t have been more friendly. She was letting my mom try on her jewelry. She was unbelievable. [My mom] had [Princess Diana’s] rings on, she had her earrings on.” Clearly the O’Donnell family had themselves a night to remember!
