Princess Diana was looking out for Barbra Streisand!
In her new book My Name is Barbra, the singer recalled a meaningful moment with the former Princess of Wales that proved just how amazing the late royal was!

Because of royal protocol — which dictated that Diana had to be the first to stand — Barbra was reluctant to embrace the applause during the screening. That was until Diana gave her a “little push” — and then solved her fashion problem!

Barbra Streisand is opening up about her life.
Diana, Princess of Wales was praised time and time again for raising her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, as normally as their circumstances would allow.The late royal's biographer, Andrew Morton, previously said: “She took the young royals with her on her private charity visits from a young age… One of the reasons was she didn't want the boys to grow up thinking the whole world was 4x4 Range Rovers, shotguns and nannies.” As well as offering her sons a glimpse of the real world, Diana was famous for being the chief prankster of the family. She often did cheeky things or bought naughty gifts for her sons to embarrass them with.
audio excerpt from her upcoming memoir “My Name Is Barbra,” Streisand detailed how she was mockingly labeled when she first began her Hollywood career in the early 1960s.Among the names she was called were “an amiable anteater, a sour persimmon, a furious hamster, a myopic gazelle, and a seasick ferret.”Despite the “Yentl” star feeling somewhat flattered by the words, she is “still kinda hurt by the insults” years later.When she appeared in the hit 1964 Broadway musical “Funny Girl,” her star quality rose to new heights and the media went from describing her as a weird animal to more statuesque monikers like “Babylonian queen” with a “pharaonic profile.”“I must say, I loved those descriptions,” she joked in her book, adding that she was told she had “scarab eyes.” While Streisand believed the phrase was a flattering remark at first, she revealed that “one of those eyes does look, well, a little cross-eyed at times.” “[I] can’t quite believe the praise,” she penned.
