Supermodel Naomi Campbell is looking back at the fond—and funny!—times she shared with the late Princess Diana.
On Campbell's new quarantine YouTube live chat series—called No Filter with Naomi—the legendary model reminisced with longtime pal Cindy Crawford about the time she and a slew of other iconic '90s fashion models helped surprise a young Prince William at Buckingham Palace for his birthday.
"I went with Claudia [Schiffer] and Christy [Turlington]. And he was coming home from school," said Campbell during the episode, per People. "And we had gotten there before he had gotten home from school and Princess Diana was like, 'Okay.' So we were just like, 'What do we do?' I mean, it was so sweet."
Prince William has also looked back on the surprise. In the documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, William said he was "completely and utterly awestruck"of the unconventional birthday present.
"That was a very funny memory that's lived with me forever," reminisced William during the documentary.
Crawford shared a separate time she met the prince, admitting to being nervous to meet him and his extremely famous mother.

"I think he was 16 when I met him," recalled Crawford. "I don't remember but look I was blushing. I was so intimidated meeting Princess Diana and being at Kensington Palace and just how completely down-to-earth she was because there's so much protocol I guess, and not being English, I don't understand some of it."
Crawford described Diana's demeanor as "going to a friend's house," and Campbell continued to gush over her fondness of the late princess.
"Loved Princess Diana, I just loved her. Humble, how down-to-earth and I’m just blessed to know her for the time that I did," commented Campbell.
Naomi Campbell has reminisced on her friendship with Princess Diana, calling the late royal 'humble and down-to-earth'.
In a new series on her YouTube page, Naomi was joined by fellow Nineties supermodel Cindy Crawford, where the pair discussed making a teenage Prince William blush.
London-born Naomi, 49, who was chatting via videolink to Cindy, 54, in her LA home recalled how she was spending the afternoon with Princess Diana in 1995 when William, then aged 13, came home from school.
'And we had gotten there before he had gotten home from school and Princess Diana was like, "Okay." So we were just like, "What do we do?" I mean, it was so sweet.'
Cindy added that she then visited the royal a few years later, when he was 16.
'Did he blush when you met him?' Naomi asked.

'I don't remember, but look I was blushing,' Cindy replied.
'I was so intimidated meeting Princess Diana and being at Kensington Palace and just how completely down-to-earth she was because there's so much protocol I guess, and not being English, I don't understand some of it.'
Naomi added: 'I loved Princess Diana, I just loved her. Humble, how down-to-earth and I'm just blessed to know her for the time that I did.'
William has previously revealed how he went 'bright red' when his mother organised a surprise visit from the supermodels.
Speaking in 2017 for an ITV documentary to mark the 20th anniversary of the Princess of Wales' death, William revealed: 'When I came home from school [she organised] to have Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell waiting at the top of the stairs. I was probably a 12 or 13-year-old boy who had posters of them on his wall.
'And I went bright red and didn't quite know what to say and sort of fumbled.
'I think I pretty much fell down the stairs on the way up. I was completely and utterly sort of awestruck.
'That's lived with me forever about her loving and embarrassing and sort of, you know being — being the sort of the joker.'

Elsewhere in the video, Cindy and Naomi discussed the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Naomi Campbell has revealed she doesn't think things will go back to the way they were after the coronavirus pandemic ends and admitted she is 'loving' being in self-isolation.
Speaking to Cindy, she said: 'I don't think it's ever gonna go back the same, in terms of the hygiene. For me, never. But when we get this...I will call it a new reset because I really felt like the planet, Mother Nature, needed a break.
'I felt like a lot of gluttony and excess that this truly was just like, It's too much. This being still, I'm loving it.
'I don't love the circumstance of what people are going through, the deaths, the friends that I've lost, or the friends and families I know that lost loved ones, also...this is horrible. But the stillness I can see in the air. Do you not see the difference in the airspace in L.A?'
Cindy revealed she is self-isolating with her husband Rande Gerber and their children Kaia, 18, and Presley, 20, and at their home in Malibu and has not left her house much recently.
The model told Naomi it was strange not being able to plan things or knowing when life will return to normal.

Cindy told how she knows she is in a position of privilege as she doesn't have to worry about paying the bills at a time when many people have lost their jobs due to the economic downturn caused by the virus.
She said: 'The strangest thing is not knowing. Not making a plan, but also not knowing when you can make plans. We don't know where the light at the end of the tunnel is. We know it will come at some point.
'I'm blessed, I can afford groceries and I think it's hard to give advice to people because we're already privileged. I'm very aware that not having to worry about paying for groceries or my phone bill is an amazing luxury.
'Both my kids are here and Randy is here. Just to slow down a minute. I've always loved being busy and I thought "I'm going to go crazy," I definitely still exercise, even if it's running up and down my driveway.
'Trying to figure out ways to feel connected to people is really important. I've been checking on my friends a lot who live alone. It's weird for all of us.'
