Hollywood legend Jamie Lee Curtis grew tearful while sharing details about a treasured letter from the late Diana, Princess of Wales, before delivering a blistering critique of President Donald Trump’s approach to leadership.
The celebrated actress disclosed she nearly encountered Diana during the Royal’s visit to the Fierce Creatures movie set alongside Prince William and Prince Harry in 1997. During her appearance on ITV’s This Morning, the 67 year old performer described how they regrettably missed connecting, which led her to compose a sincere message to the princess.
Astonishingly, Diana replied in merely 48 hours. Struggling to hold back emotions, Curtis mused, “She was an extraordinary person.

“She was – what an example. And look at where I live, and look at the example of the leaders, look at the example of the people leading my country, and the hatred that they feel.”

The Freaky Friday actress then alluded to recent video showing President Trump referring to a female reporter as “piggy,” voicing her shock at his, what she termed, “unacceptable behaviour.”
She continued her attack, stating: “I think that unhinged moment of his abuse and vile behaviour is going to be his undoing.”
The disputed “piggy” episode took place with Bloomberg White House correspondent Catherine Lucey on Air Force One on November 13. When Lucey questioned the president about releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, he sharply retorted: “Quiet, piggy!” However, some fans are arguing that he actually said “Peggy”, not “piggy”.
His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, addressed the incident by saying: “Look, the president is very frank and honest with everyone in this room. You’ve all seen it yourself.

She added: “You’ve all experienced it yourselves. And I think it’s one of the many reasons the American people re-elected this president.
“He calls out fake news when he sees it.” Curtis’ outburst sparked a massive reaction online, with one user posting on X: “Wtf she crying for , she’s having a meltdown lol trump derangement syndrome spilling out lol #thismorning.
