Upon her arrival at Leicester Square, the princess met with actress andproducer, Barbra, and the other members of the cast. Overcome by nerves, the “SomedayMy Prince Will Come” singer lost her voice when spoken to by Diana, promptingNick Nolte to step in and answer for her.

The evening was a roaring success and raised over £100,000 for the AIDScharity, of which Diana was a patron. The film also proved a big hit, with theaudience rising for a standing ovation. Giving an impromptu speech at the endof the screening, the songstress said: “The last time I was here for Yentl you made it special for me and noweight years later you haven’t let me down.”

The film went on to be a global success, after it was released in January 1992, grossing over $110 million and picking up seven Oscar nominations,including Best Picture.

Despite its many nominations, the film lost out in each of itscategories, losing the Best Original Score, which featured two songs writtenand performed by Barbra, to the Disney film TheBeauty and the Beast.
