A Royal flush! Kurt Russell reveals King Charles, Diana, William and Harry all stayed in his house for household vacation – and Goldie Hawn ‘acquired speaking’ to Fergie

Hollywood legend Kurt Russell revealed Prince Charles, Princess Diana, Prince William and Prince Harry all stayed in his home for a family holiday.

The Golden Globe nominee, 74, is set to appear on this Saturday’s episode of The Jonathan Ross Show.

He is promoting new drama series The Madison, from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan – with other cast members including Michelle Pfeiffer, Matthew Fox and Patrick J. Adams.

During the conversation, Kurt recounts how he crossed paths with King Charles and Princess Diana in the early 1990s.

He says: ‘I met Diana – it was the royal premiere for Backdraft. 

‘I was sitting in between her and Charles. I understand her difficulties with paparazzi and all that kind of thing. 

‘I said if you ever want to go somewhere that’s pretty under control, we’ll work it out – let me know.’

Kurt continues: ‘I think Fergie and Goldie had somehow later on got talking. 

‘She [Diana] brought the two boys and they stayed there for a week and had a wonderful time. 

‘I wasn’t there, none of us were there at the time but she wrote some really nice cards and things like that. 

‘I’ve seen Harry a number of times since then and he always remembers and he’s very sweet – he always remembers it as one of the really fun times they had. 

‘I think it’s a great thing – the Future King of England [Prince William] was sleeping in my son’s room.’

Kurt also gave an insight into The Madison, where he portrays Preston Clyburn, one of the main characters.

He shares: ‘I’ve had the great opportunity to play different broad characters and genres and that was on purpose because it kept me interested. 

‘I really enjoy it and I continue to really enjoy it. The Madison show is very different, it’s the first time I’m playing someone very like myself – I like that a lot too.’

Elsewhere, Kurt also discusses his step-daughter Kate Hudson’s Oscar nomination for her performance in Song Sung Blue. 

He says: ‘Goldie is going to be her date. I thought I was going to be in London at the time. I think I’m probably going to have a suit sitting by. I’m going to get home in time to be there.’

In his first feature film role, Kurt had an uncredited cameo in 1963’s It Happened at the World’s Fair, starring the legendary Elvis Presley.

16 years later, he portrayed Elvis in a television movie and tells Jonathan about preparing for the role.  

He says: ‘I had a lot of people giving me stuff for research purposes which was amazing looking back on it. 

‘But it was primarily my memory of having worked with him. He was 27 years old when I worked with him and I was 27 when I did that.’

Asked by Jonathan on whether Kurt has any plans to retire from showbusiness, he replies: ‘You do run into these time periods where you think sometimes but there is something about acting, it never gets old.’

The Jonathan Ross Show airs Saturday at 9:25pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
