Crawford was given a personal invitation to visit the palace after bumping into Diana in London. According to the model, the mum-of-two wanted to surprise son William with an unexpected visit from one of his idols.
The American supermodel revealed she felt nervous and had a hard time picking the outfit she was going to wear to see the late princess - and was pleasantly surprised at how relaxed and easy it was to talk to Diana.
Opening up about the time, she said: "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 – I think Prince William was just starting to notice models and she thought it would be a cute surprise for him and Prince Harry.
“I was nervous and didn’t know what to wear, but remember as soon as she came into the room and we started talking, it was like talking to a girlfriend. She was a class act and showed us all what a modern day princess should be. Rest In Peace."
