i love how proud he sounds when he talks about how she conquered bulimia
Especially when he doesn’t avoid mentioning it it was part of Diana’s life but she was able to move pass it
🥺🥺🥺
I'm pretty sure people with bulimia aren't mirrors
@@Sam-tt8qm ayyyy
@@Sam-tt8qm ohhhhh
I have a feeling Princess Diana enjoyed hanging out in the kitchen, talking to this sweet guy.....probably helped her feel like she was just a normal person instead of royalty
Big Facts
yeah
P
Mhm
Thats not a meal, thats a starter
"The Queen didn't like garlic"
So that's why she's immortal.
😅😅😅
🤣 Awesome comment
Dracula
Which means she has enormous amount of karmas to deal with oh boy thats a long life to deal this much.😂😂
@@aninditatamuli5511 Count Lizzie!!
I love how he said she conquered her eating disorder. I love Princess Diana.
right! he sounds so proud of her. he definitely respected and cared for princess diana.
I never unterstood why anybody loves the royals. The don't have any neccesarie function nowadays and cost you a lot of money. Hm.. Maybe its because we had some bad experience with one man cults in my home country in the last 120 years, too. :,D
@@lucyinthestrawberryfields7901 most people hate the royal family now... but Diana she was the people's princess 😌 she was the only person in the monarchy that everyone loved
@@omnomnomi Strangely in my case it is exactly the other way round.
She liked garlic. She’s a good person.
Black Jesus how about Argonian from black Marsh
@Black Jesus KJSHDGKJEHRSUG RIP
the others are vampires
@Black Jesus Exactly
Doesn't take much to impress you. Too bad your parents are first cousins.
You can tell from his voice that he TRULY MISSES her. What a lovely memory he has about Princess Diana.
Okay okay, WHERE ARE THE REPLIES
You can tell he could be his self around Princess Diana. And it just makes me happy :)
She is one of the most amazing royal family members ever to exist. She even visited my tiny country and visited some people who needed help. Imagine sitting in your yard and you suddenly see princess Diana coming up to you in her beautiful iconic jeans and plain shirt and saying hi
i can tell you that more than half of the world's population misses her, most of us never even met her.
He was her friend and chef
knowing what we know about her, hearing him tell stories about her you can tell how absolutely lonely she was.
lonely or lovely lol
@@strawberry2850 both, honestly. but i typed "lonely" deliberately.
@@strawberry2850 definitely lonely. the lovely bit is granted
That was my thought too.
Why does she have to be lonely to be friends with him and talk to him?
She was way out of Charles’ league she was younger, nicer, down to earth, and she was beautiful.
Even he knew that but was too insecure to admit it
I agree
agree, charles is potato
She had some things she did bad like multiple affairs but ok
@@agape-704 yeah cause she wanted to find love. when she heard charles was in an affair with camilla she wanted to find someone who would actually love her. she loved charles, he obviously didn’t return that
“I don’t think it was a close relationship” Seeing as how she came into to the kitchen to talk to him and watch him cook and would spill secrets to him shows how much she trusted him and valued him as a friend.
I think for professional reasons he has to show some detachment
And he has still kept her secrets only saying she shared "too many stories " and nothing more
He is a real gent and loyal friend it seems 😊
We're hoping to stick to a vegetarian diet with some fish until Easter Sunday-keeping my fingers crossed.😊🙏🏽
Facts, I felt like he was surprised that some from royalty is acting like a normal person
i love that this man constantly calls her ‘the princess’ instead of ‘diana’, it’s such a small detail of respect for her
...nobody working for royalty tends to call them by their names.
@@mattbetts01 He's saying that cause she left the Royal Family before her passing so technically they're no monarchical to continue calling her "Princess"
@@Galimec1 why did she leave
@@supersaxysaxman3565 She divorced to Prince Charles
@@supersaxysaxman3565 she divorced Charles cause he was cheating
She was so ahead of her time. The classiest and most kind Royal. It’s unfortunate she was so young when she passed :( Rest in paradise Princess Di
you mean, murderered? By Charles and Camilla? lol yeah
she was not "ahead of her time"
she just wasn't fit to be part of the royal family
@@benisbenises3410 wake up
@@yeyosilver7067 she was too nice and humble
@@yeyosilver7067 Nah I’m pretty sure this person is awake. Don’t you find it weird that she died a year after the separation. 🤨
The Princess Diana herself making you a coffee? That's the biggest flex right there
His family have probably heard this story a million times 🤣
Not sure it beats the fact that the first baby he held was Prince Harry.
Queen walks into kitchen: Everyone has to stop cooking until she leaves
Diana walks in: "HI! What are you making? I would like some coffee. Oh, you're busy. I'll make some. Would you like a cup? I'll just sit here and watch you cook."
Brandi Mullins a total sweetheart.
She was a beautiful and a sweet girl. Rest In Peace, Sweet Diana.
Seems Prince Phillip was much the same way
Don't compare the Queen with Diana.. The Queen is the Queen.. She is born into her role.. She's royalty by blood by lineage... Dont expect her to be anything but herself. It doesn't mean just because Diana is friendly, relax she's a good person... C'mon... People are complex..

Princess Diana sounds like a total sweetheart. She took the time to get to know everyone.

I saw her at Silverstone once. She was to present a trophy. As soon as she came into view the whole area we were in fell silent.
There was something special about that girl

This man is so wonderful and good natured and has such interesting stories about the royal family. Such a relaxing presence. he must be protected at all costs!
And he cooks with Love....
Shut up!
He’s my friends dad 😂
Your stupidity and gullibility know no bounds
TRUEST THING!
You can hear on his voice on how much he misses the princess
The queen didn't eat garlic because shes a vampire obviously
Yes😂😂😂
Confirmed!
Even vampires must avoid bad breath😉
Diane. was beautiful inside as well as outside
LOL
With what he’s saying about Princess Di’s juicing and vegetarian diet, can you imagine how much she would have contributed to our health these days if she were alive? She could have written a cookbook, talk about conquering bulimia with a healthy mindset and starting over with a healthy diet. I miss her. Who’s with me?
Chica Arana OMG you are righteous 1000%! I am amazed that you have just 2 likes and not even a single reply. Your beautiful amazing comment should have at least a million likes and a thousand replies! I hate this world!
Looking at how much she did contribute during her short life there's no telling what she would have accomplished had she survived that terrible wreck.
I miss her in the past and miss her more of what she could've been now just like what you've said. Will always love Princess Diana...
That's not a vegetarian diet . Just more pescatarian and plant based with of course occasional meat and cheese .
I do and have missed her all these years. The old devil Phil is still kinking he needs to be in hell for ordering her death!!!
Princess Diana, will always always be the people’s princess. God bless her forever🌹
You what Mate she’s dead
Otaku Gamer Exactly that’s what they’re trying to say
Otaku Gamer no shit
@@otakugamer820 Typical otaku
You what Mate Amen!
You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat someone “beneath” them: servers, cooks, cleaners, other staff etc. It seems that a lot of Princess Di’s staff have nothing but fond memories of her and of her being kind to them. She clearly valued having Darren and his friendship in her life, she even liked and trusted him enough to let him hold one of her precious babies. It’s good that he reciprocates by sharing only fond memories of her and honoring her memory by doing so. Cheers, Darren. You were so lucky to have known her and to have had such a pure relationship with her.
It's very rare when people treat servants waiters etc with respect lots of narcissism nowadays
He sounded like such a beautiful human being inside and out she cared for people it wasn't an act you don't see people like her anymore in the world.
Yes, this royal chief sounds like a beautiful human being ........
Thats not true, you just don't see them in high positions
If Diana was still among us, she would’ve been an exceptional queen and i would’ve loved to buy a cookbook from her
I wonder who she would be cheating with now?
@@davidgamache3035 The way Charles cheated the entire marriage?
That's not how it works, she wasn't ever going to be queen
@Meliapan same way Prince Philip isn't king even though he is the queens husband, it has to be through blood linage
The divorced when she passed ...she would've never been Queen...its a nice thought though.
This guy's a natural ; he should have his own programme
What should be the title of the programme? Let's wait for people's ideas

"I was just staring at the princess all the time......... embarrassing. "
She was beautiful and luminous indeed.
I'm with Diana on this one I don't really like pre planning my meals that far ahead either! Who knows what I'm going to be in the mood for that day 😉
same!
Exactly!
But you cook your own food so you can do that without it having an impact on others! 🙂
@@soilgrasswaterair Well true! But to be fair any every-day person in a hotel and call down and 'impact' the kitchen by ordering something. If I can't do that as a princess I'll have to hang up my tiara! (wait, I got a little to into character there!)
Passion for food I’m the worst for planning meals! Food isn’t my favourite thing first thing in the morning.
She was the Queen England deserved.
We're quite happy with the one we have.

Princess Diana was such a humble human being. Anyone who ever interacted with her, has only nice things to say
I would 100% watch an animated movie about this guy's life.
This video was so interesting. He seems to really enjoy what he does and he's so fond of the princess. It's very sweet.
Yes, exactly!
Queen Of The Fae Everyone’s fond of this princess.
@@The_Beast_666 I'm aware of that.
Your stupidity and gullibility know no bounds
He looks like the happiest chef in the world
I love this guy. He is so down to earth and hearing his stories about Princess Diana just warms my heart. She was such an amazing lady.
Diana stands apart from most royals. She was super cool, easy going, grounded, extremely friendly and affectionate and most importantly she did not care much about hierarchy. She was close to people and therefore always won hearts. She was such a darling !! Miss her infectious beautiful smile & look !!! QUEEN OF HEARTS FOR A REASON !! Rest in Peace !!!
Not a big fan of the Royal family, however....Princess Diana was probably the sweetest and most respectable member of that entire family. So sad and unfortunate that she had to go through hell with all that suffering Charles and the Queen put onto her. R.I.P my dear...
Amen sir!
Can't really imagine staff resigning whilst working for her, she seemed so human
Talking with the staff that actually worked the activities of daily living who were not pesonallly assigned her was one way to escape the hens upstairs constantly telling her what to do... - secretaries, equiries, dressers.
Same. She's the only one. Amazing real woman.
And an attractive hotty beauty to boot.
Strange as this may sound, it was really lovely to hear him so lightly touch on her tackling her bulimia. As a lot of interviews that her associates have partaken in about her, insisted she never struggled with it, yet still made it a huge talking point.
She was very humble, it’s almost a rare trait
While he descbribes Princess Diana walking trough the kitchen and being super nice to everyone, all i can think about is that Cinderella's scene, where she is in the kitchen making breakfast, feeding the animals and being lovely to the little rats there
That is weird.
@@ritahorvath8207 i really don't care ya know
@@ritahorvath8207 why the heck are you opposing to every comment in the comment section
😬
And plus this comment is so wholesome
I was just thinking the exact same thing.
Anyone who has ever crossed paths with her has nothing but good say. She was an angel. You can tell by the character of her children.
Her boyfriends lover her, even when she was married.
@@davidgamache3035 her husband clearly wasn't missing her so don't you worry your pretty little head.
@@davidgamache3035 mhm, are we forgetting something?
Oh yeah, Charles was also busy getting into Camilla. Aight.
The royals are just human beings with a lot of money and a huge sense of entitlement. Diana seems to have been a rare exception in that she was down to Earth and genuinely kind.
I totally agree with you.
J B she was going to cost the British taxpayer £10m a year after her divorce. Two weeks before she died, the British tabloids had headlines telling her to get out of the country as she was dating a Dodi Al Fayed. She resigned as the patron from 94 charities the year she died. Funny these things are forgotten! Also there was the Martin Bashir interview!
the royals are divinely elevated to a sacral role with a special charism
I honestly feel like this is the kind of guy that you can say things like " I know it's in the middle of the night, but I can't sleep and i feel a bit down and i could really go for some comfort food" to without him asking unnecessary questions or judging you. And I absolutely love it ! He seems like a kind soul who genuinely cares about people and it warms my heart.
You can hear his respect for her. Love hearing about how she beat the eating disorder.
The stuffed pepper looks amazing as well.
I knew she ate healthy. She was stunning. Looks like he really enjoyed working with her.
You can't eat healthy. Healthy is not a food. You can eat a healthful diet, however.
@@rashone2879
...Context is key. When people say eat healthy, in your terms, it means eating a healthful diet. The English language is strange like that.
She also did have an eating disorder she talked about it after the divorce.
@@rashone2879 You're being a pedant, but getting it wrong. To not be an arse, you need to actually get it right if you're going to do that.
So, "she ate healthily", or "she ate a healthy diet".
@@tams805 You are correct; I was correct about the incorrectness of eating healthy, but you win, and speaking of my being a pedant, you have outdone me. No need to throw in the "arse" reference. You could have been polite about it, left out the name calling, and you would have still been correct AND classy. What is this contemporary trend of people being so rude, so insulting...what does it do for you?
I love Princess Diana up to this time. She’s one of the most beautiful human being in & out. No other princesses to ever replace her amazing charm around the world. She’s still the most beautiful & well-loved princess to be remembered of all time. Lady Diana is the princess of people’s heart!
Zenaida De Leon me too , she was amazing
"They always die, the good ones"
- Some random homeless guy I dont remember the name of
Nice, but I doubt you know all princess around the World "of all time" and how beautiful they were "in and out" or how loved they were. Careful about worshiping human beings. You actually hurt them when you make them perfect...are they supposed to live up to that, as if they are not human with faults just like everyone else regardless of how pretty they are? That's a cruel thing, to put that pressure on a person. She was not the princess of everyone heart.
You're right, no other princesses will ever replace her but that's because each human being is unique and is his/her own person with his/her good sides and bad sides. No one can actually replace no one.
@@rashone2879 and how dare you go around putting pressure in someone elses worship list. So what???? Let her adore Diana, because to some, she was the perfect princess. I guess you are a very unhappy person, or maybe you are princess Margaret's friend? Yeah, they hate Diana's popularity alright. Geee, relax woman. When you say you love someone, that's not worshipping. Good grief.
I wished I’ve seen princess Diana. She did a lot in this world and made her chef coffee while he was busy, it really shows what kind of a character she is. They’ll won’t be a princess like her ever. Rip
he talks about his happy memory about diana really making me smile.
Princess Diana is without a doubt the most romanticized royal individual but not without good reason.
Well, I would say "idealized " .........
@@ritahorvath8207 Someone is jealous
Diana has good taste love stuffed bell peppers! She seemed like a fun princess to cook for. What a sensible princess. She seemed so down to earth. Truly the people’s princess.
Quantum Kitty Amen!
Sometimes I think about that story where she dressed like a boy and went out clubbing with Freddie Mercury for a night
Seeing that he was busy, Princess Diana was kind enough to make her own coffee and also made him a cup as well. This right here is why I always LOVED Princess Diana. So down to earth and humble. It would've been an honor to cook for her.
Probably the only famous person I cried for after her death
Why ?
You didn't know her though. Doesn't that strike you as a bit weird?
@@dale7226 well that’s how amazing her kind aura was...she was different
@@dale7226 I mean when she died many people across the country cried since she was loved by everyone here
@@RackHasAttacked None of those crying en masse knew her. It just strikes me as odd.
Diana sounds so wonderful. No wonder the people loved her so much.
Jenny J Amen
And if she wasn't cheating on her husband she probably would be alive today. Actions have consequences.
This man is just delightful. I love how joyful his eyes are.
The Princess offering the Chef Coffee... So undone. That woman was a WONDER ! :-)
Yes, crazy, is it ?
I remember seeing a magazine with her wedding picture (it was probably a tribute to her because it was a new issue), and to little 6 year old me, it was basically mind blowing to see a real picture of a princess. She looked exactly like the princesses in the storybooks I had (beautiful, blonde, big elegant dress). I can’t even imagine what being in the same room as her would have been like. I was only a little girl, so I had no idea that Diana had already passed from this world, nor did I know of the horrible things she had to go through. She died way before I was even born. I can’t help but think of all the people who were happy simply by her being around them. She may have passed away young, but she will surely never be forgotten.
When you're truly a good person to the core, it will shine through in other people... Woman has been dead for so many years and people still talking about what a great spirit she had...awesome! She left the world a better place and no one can ask for a better legacy. RIP
She was so lucky to have him... he calls himself her servant and mentioned she would ‘share too much’... so protective kind and caring
Stop glamorising human beings, all people are equal.. The media has fooled people like U.. if U don't give dignity to yourself noone will .
Princess Diana was one of her kind.Whether anyone knows her personally or not but her personality is so mesmerising that everyone loves her and miss her.
Stay in peace princess of hearts.
We all love you and miss you very much.
"Oh, I'll make it, you're busy"
"Would You Like One"
This Alone Explains the great and bright soul she was
Tbh it does sound like she struggled a lot with food fears. But I’m happy to hear a story where someone was trying to get better.
lovelettuce what
“Princess Diana sat there watching me cook”
“Princess Diana made me coffee”

~ morning coffee
That's why she's the most loved princess of all times! More than carrying her royal title desperately, she's a true human with a kind heart! ❤️
I want the full recipe for the stuffed peppers, including the sauce!! It looks delicious. 😍
She’s a great person, miss her - she died on my birthday-get really sad when thinking about
Same birthday!
Oh same! She died on my birthday too, I was only 2 by that time.

She was my first crush; I was 6 years old. And now, 23 years later, she ends up winning my heart again :,)
@@quackss6384 I don’t think you know what that means buddy
Aww that’s so cute!
Why ?
that’s why everyone loved her she was so humble and caring
Darren seems like such a kind soul. It always makes me feel terrible when workers are treated as less than human. I'm glad Princess Diana was always trying to make people feel welcomed and appreciated, even if she was royalty. You can tell it really had an impact on the people around her.
Wow she even made coffee for him, she’s the most humble.
Well, maybe the most ...... .
2:12 Not only did the princess make her own coffee respecting the fact that her chef was busy but also had the courtesy to ask him if he wanted one! And she made him one! I am so humbled! I don’t think there’s a higher privilege in this world to be served coffee by this princess and sit down to drink it with her!!! God bless her soul and may she rest in peace for all eternity in God’s heavenly abode! 🙏🏻🙇🏻♂️
It was sweet, sure. But let's be honest, it's a polite thing to do, and usually most people would.
That shows that she was quite down to earth, and this is the way it should be.
Tanja Winter Guess you’re right Tanja.
Imagine being able to cook for Lady Di. It's more than a whole honor honestly. Bless this man for feeding her
I don't like cooking.
Stories like this is why Princess Diana is renowned as the "People's Princess," she utilized her royal status to bring awareness to the people that society swept aside or would like to forget. Then when it came to her staff and people she'd interact with directly, she was, very human about it. She wanted to talk with you person to person, not commoner to noble.
He needs his own show!!!
Its like he's talking about a fairytale character..Diana was kind, graceful everything
I like that the princes were not subjected to the adults tastes. They were ordering off the kids menu like regular kids
she really is and always will be the queen of people's hearts
I love that she casually strolled into the kitchen and wanted to watch them cook and loved being in the kitchen sharing stories like a family really didn’t come down to throw her weight around just to be a part of things even sharing a coffee with them. So sweet.
It’s 2020 and Princess Diana is still relevant today. A true legend❤️
Well ..............
Living on the other side of Europe, my grandma and mom always had fascination with British Royals, especially Diana, for some reason.
My mother read somewhere that stuffed peppers were Diana's fav dish, and she would make them at least once a week when in season.
After Di died, the dish took on additional meaning...
I never cared about the royals but Princess Diana was different.
I feel like the world stood still when the news of her death hit the air waves. She will always be my princess. Thank you for this series on the royals and their food. It makes me smile.
When she died, the sunshine went out of the world. Look what we were left with.
I struggle with bulimia/anorexia myself I also live on my own so I find it really difficult to find the motivation to cook! Strangely I had a really strong craving for stuffed bell peppers and came across this video! I love Princess Diana thank you for this video, it really has given me the motivation to cook this recipe for myself. In honour and remembrance of her overcoming the battles I’m currently facing in regards to her ED! Thank u for this video
How did I not know this video existed before now?!
I think that he is just a delightful gem of a human being and clearly Princess Diana adored and trusted him. :)
How sweet that he took the time to really pay attention to so many things about her. Definitely a wonderful man who deserved his position.
I will never get tired to hear stories about Lady Di....still, to this day....my favorite woman in the royal family
She will be always missed in my heart and I know for a fact no other princess will ever be able to replace her. She was a super human kind and beautiful and gracious..,but the way that looks incredible and honestly I really like this chef
Maybe Charlotte will end up with the same kind spirit as her grandmother

I enjoy Chef McGrady. I like the affection in his voice when he talks about the people he cooked for.
Diana sounds like such a loving and caring person. She was so down to earth and a great person i’m general. I wish I could have met her :)
She was an Angel. No man deserved her. So elegant.
Princess Diana has something special in her..... I am 16 and by listening about her she fascinates me and makes me think how good it would have been if she was alive❤️

princess diana is a true princess, the only one in this world with enough aura and kindness to be one
This recipe is actually really good. It looks Absolutely delicious and is really healthy. God bless the Princess and her fine choices.
I love watching him cook, it’s so effortless and relaxing. When I cook it’s hard work and the kitchen looks as if something had exploded.
