Sylvester Stallone once asked Britain's Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, on a date.
The 'Rocky Balboa' star was knocked back by the duchess in 1996, because she had only just finalised her divorce from Prince Andrew and felt it was too soon to start dating.
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Apparently Sylvester had a thing for royal girls.
"The romance never quite blossomed, but the pair remain close friends."
The 60-year-old actor is now married to his third wife, 38-year-old Jennifer Flavin.
Meanwhile, the 47-year-old duchess recently enjoyed a night out with ex-husband Prince Andrew, whom she has remained close to despite their divorce.
The pair have stayed friends for the sake of their daughter's, Princesses Beatrice, 18, and Eugenie, 16.
The royal couple officially separated in 1992, shortly after the publication of notorious pictures of Sarah sucking the toes of US businessman John Bryan.
The scandal caused great embarrassment to the royal family, and Sarah found herself shunned by her estranged in-laws.
