Initially uncertain about attending, Selleck learned he was on Princess Diana personal guest list along with Clint Eastwood and John Travolta.

During the event, Selleck and Eastwood attempted to keep a low-profile while Travolta danced with the princess.

As Travolta and Diana began a second dance, a British woman urged Selleck to step in, but he initially refused, not wanting to cut in on Travolta.

Selleck eventually danced with Diana before a third dance could begin, noting her graciousness despite his lack of dancing skills.

While Selleck danced with Diana, his wife, Jillie Mack, danced with Diana's then-husband, Prince Charles.

Travolta, in a PBS special, shared how Nancy Reagan facilitated his iconic dance with Diana, fulfilling her fantasy with not one but two dances.

The moment became legendary, with Travolta recalling it as a "storybook moment" before parting ways with Diana.
