LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Cindy Crawford shared with her fans the moment she actually met Prince William in real life. She recently featured in ‘The Crown’ series and did a cameo in the royal drama.

“I still vividly remember visiting Kensington Palace to meet [Princess] Diana and a teenage William (who had just discovered the ‘Super Models,’)” Crawford wrote on her Instagram Story.



 

Cindy Crawford says she did a 'little cameo' on 'The Crown'

She also shared her video from the popular drama in which she did a “little cameo” from Season 6 of the Netflix series.

In the clip, Prince Philip visits William portrayed by Jonathan Pryce and Ed McVey respectively at the high school student’s dorm. Queen Elizabeth II’s husband watches carefully at the posters of women on the teenager’s wall.

“Nothing to be ashamed of,” Philip mentions before asking, “Do they have names?” After the then-teen named “Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, and Naomi Campbell,” Philip said, “In my day it was Rita Hayworth, Betty Grable, and Lana Turner.”

He then asks whether those monikers “mean[t] anything to” his grandson, to which William answers ‘no” and shakes his head. “Of course not,” Philip replied with a laugh.

Claudia Schiffer re-shared the clip too 

While Campbell has yet to address her mention on the popular show, Schiffer re-posted the scene on her Story with heart emojis.

William met both Crawford and Campbell and also Christy Turlington when he was “12 or 13” and previously told “Diana, Our Mother” viewers that he was “sort of awestruck” by their presence.

“I went bright red and didn’t quite know what to say and sort of fumbled,” the Prince of Wales admitted in the 2017 documentary, as per PageSix.

“I think I pretty much fell down the stairs on the way up. But that was a very funny memory that’s lived with me forever,” he added, praising his mother’s love of “embarrassing” him and “being … the joker.”

Crawford had earlier posted a throwback photo from the royal visit in August 2017 too. “Remembering this inspiring woman today,” Crawford wrote with the image from Kensington Palace snap at the time.

“Princess Diana had somehow got the number to my office and called herself to ask for me,” she remembered.

“My assistant was in shock! We finally connected and she asked if the next time I was in London I would come by for tea," she added.
