7. Princess Diana’s Favorite Meal Was Stuffed Bell Peppers
The royal chef Darren McGrady worked with Princess Diana for 4 years. In the beginning, he was shocked to see that she would casually walk around the kitchens, and rarely stuck to the royal menu. Early in the morning, she enjoyed watching the chefs cook her meals, because it helped her relax. One morning, she walked into the kitchen asking Darren for a cup of coffee, but then realized that he was already cooking. ‘‘Nevermind, I can see you’re busy. I’ll make it. Would you like one?” He was shocked, because a princess was making him- a servant- a cup of coffee. It was far more relaxed than his experience working at Kensington Palace.
After she conquered bulimia, Diana was determined to manage her weight in a healthy way. She switched over to a predominantly vegetarian diet. Occasionally, she enjoyed salmon, and only ate lamb if she was entertaining guests. Stuffed bell peppers were her dinner 4 days a week. Instead of beef and rice, the stuffing was made from chopped vegetables, spices, and rice. On the nights where she ate the same meal as her sons, she would request that the chef make her a healthier version of what the boys ate, but they never noticed the difference.
