Darren you are lovely, Love from America. Food needs love in the cooking. That is why she is The People's Princess. All over the world. We miss her even in America..I cried when she passed an ocean away.
It’s lovely to hear Darren’s recollections of Princess Diana. It’s very clear that Darren really knew her, and it’s refreshing that Darren’s memories come from a place of love and respect, unlike some of her former staff that have attempted to commercialise their relationship with Princess Diana.
Lovely & personal insight of our beautiful inside & out Princess Diana by her friend, Chef Darren, who created all her favorite culinary delights. You brightened her life.
When he mentioned the passing joke of “another one off the list..he’s too short” speaking of Tom Cruise. He really humanizes a family that people imagine are happy happy but are real people.
Don't stress out!!! We all start out as babies- who knows some of the Royals actually understand what it means to live a "normal/ordinary" life. For example, Prince William & Prince Harry have had that experience!! Diana was a wonderful mother, I believe- look how they turned out!! 😀
It's so clear to see how much appreciation he has for the late Princess. After doing some reading on Darren, I saw that after her tragic death he chose to devote much of his free time to the causes and charities she supported. What an amazing thing to not only support those wonderful charities, but also honor her memory. Cheers Darren, I hope for nothing but the best for you and your family.
You have no idea how much I enjoyed hearing your memories of Princess Diana. And thank you for sharing her favorite food. ❤️ She will always be the peoples PRINCESS ❤️❤️❤️
It's really unfortunate that William and Harry don't get an opportunity to spend a day with Darren. I bet it would be good for both of them to be around someone who truly loved their mom and has such fond and positive memories...which I'm sure they rarely experience. Happy Birthday HRH, you are missed.
@DS SO what's your point? Darren knew her and Harry was asking that question when he was a very young boy and didn't quite grasp how people perceived his mother, to him, she was just mom.
@@Paula-dl9ky actually, he was speaking of the time during his mother's funeral and referring to the fact that the public got to mourn but he couldn't. He was not referring to his current view. He said it during his Oprah interview.
@@danielhostetler9493 My misunderstanding perhaps, if so my apologies.... I posted it as DS SO may not have been around back then and it's new to him / her ... Yes, Diana was simply 'mummy' back then ... We all miss her I think ... I saw her close up at Live Aid 1985, in Wembley Stadium .... Beautiful lady ....
You can tell how much Diana meant to Darren 🥺 she was such a kind soul and so is he, I’d like to think they were good friends, even if Darren worked for her!
"He's too short"...LMAO. I love how even if she was scared and called the fire brigade, she never thought to call Darren and ask for something because she probably thought to not disturb him in his free time. Those are small things, but shows what a caring person she was.
A good way to judge someone is by how they treat their staff. And from the way that Darren speaks of her, she obviously treated hers with kindness and respect.
I think the best and worst thing about this video is this fact: we, “commoner’s,” had to hear of Princess Diana from the junky cheap tabloids while great stories like these that share of her true character were shielded from us, the masses. Thanks for sharing Darren!
It doesn't surprise me that Diana enjoyed eating meals in the kitchen. She must have known how much Chef Darren admired her, and she felt comfortable around him. Well done, Chef!
I love watching Darren cook and listening to him telling his story. It’s like listening to your uncle telling his story like a little kid at the dinner table .
Thank you for sharing. I've loved since I was a small boy. It took 11 years, after the wedding, before I eventually met her. I bought flowers and arrived at the venue at 10am for her lunch time appointment. When she arrived, she rushed in. It was the week of the serialization of Diana: Her True Story. By the time she emerged it was 2pm, and my flowers had wilted. Her detective Insp Peter Brown opened the car door for her to step in. My heart sank. But instead of getting into the car, she pointed at me and walked straight towards me. I got so nervous and I gave her the wilted flowers and curtseyed as she shook my hand. She giggled. I met her a few days later, and she smiled and said, "I remember you. You're so sweet. You gave me flowers last Tuesday." I was gobsmacked.
Even at 60 years old she would have the grace, dignity, and beauty with all of her charitable work I almost guarantee she would still be very very very active in every one of her charities!!!
@@johndoe-wv3nu how do you mean wasn’t supposed to be insulting and yes I said even at 60 years old because most (not all) people in their 60s start to slow down on their charitable workings my grandma was the president of her charity league and stepped down on her 61st birthday and stopped being as hands on she just wrote checks and gave all she could…
Princesa Diana and Clint Eastwood in a Big party they seem Not to like each other So thus way , I was Surprised to know He was there in his Cowboy boots Looking hot!!!!
Thank you so much Darren for sharing HRH favourite recipes with us all..... Yes, surely she was and still is the people's princess. I pray that one good day, Princes William and Harry will come knocking on your door to cook some of their beloved mom's favourite recipes. Darren, may God bless you and your family always. ❤💛💜❤
Diana is as close to a real Disney princess as any person will ever come. She was a member of royalty who genuinely cared about people and was humble and grounded while also being elegant.
I followed Princess Diana from the beginning. I turned 60 in May. Im a huge fan . She was truely an influential person in so many ways. I have to say. Your kind words and obvious affection for the Princess is clear. To have such loyalty after 20 years is very telling. She was so loved by the world, but to those who knew her she was more. A real friend. God bless .
I think Darren was picked because he is such a kind, warm hearted, good person. As well as the delicious food I bet he was a ray of sunshine, and I am glad he mentions he has family, and had weekends in a real world so his life was balanced and he could do good elsewhere after his palace years.
I think the most wonderful thing about the late princess is how she was blind to class structure and treated everyone the same, it didn't matter if she was talking to the leader of a nation or a homeless person in Africa she treated everyone with equal love and respect and that is truly a virture that our society strongly lacks this day and age. She was a a beautiful shining light that was just too beautiful and bright for this world, and now she is a beautiful angel for real, there will never be another one like Princess Diana.
Came from Delish channel and discovered this gentleman has his own channel, followed immediately ! Love how you talk food and royals (esp Princess Diana) with such a warmth !
Thank you for this wonderful tribute to Diana. She and I were born on the same day and she's always been special to me. I'm so glad you were the one cooking for Diana and the boys after the separation.
Thank you Darren for calling her _Princess_ Diana - for indeed she was a princess - even if it was only in our hearts. She was truly one of a kind, wasn't she? She was my age, and I still miss her terribly. I like to think that in some other life, we'd be friends, I know she had a great sense of humor! The day she passed was like my JFK moment, I was absolutely gutted.
Hearing you talk about Princess Diana made me realise that she truly fits the title given to her "People's Princess". This only made me realise she was royal yet normal. Thank you sharing her with us through your stories and food.
Happy Birthday , your Royal Highness - though you may be gone , you are never forgotten ; you live on in the hearts and minds of all of us who love and respect you ; you will forever be The Peoples Princess ❤
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 You are another person who never met the DDoS, yet spew lies and MISINFORMATION maligning his wife. Get a life of your own... perhaps you will drop the RACIST hate.
Princess Diana was a treasure to our world, and taken from us way too soon. We hear so many stories of vipers in her world - it is heartwarming to know she had a loyal, genuine and kind supporter in you, Darren. ✝️💗😀👑
I can only imagine cooking this and feeling happy with the memories and then cry over my food. She definitely was defined as the Peoples Princess and People all around the world still show that love for her even when she's gone. A true real life fairytale princess indeed.
This made me smile. I adored hearing Darren speak so fondly and warmly of Princess Diana. What a lovely man Darren is and it is very clear that he and Diana had a wonderful friendship.
I just love Darren. He is so real and his memories are very touching. So easy to see why Diana trusted him and held him dear. So glad they were there for each other... he became like family.
Yes, you could see he had to cut the clip because it probably made him tear up. Poor guy, such a tragedy for all of us and we didn’t even know her personally.
So smart of him to save the cards and hand written notes from Diana! She truly touched people all over the world. I am in the US and I stayed up til 4 am to watch her funeral and cried all day afterwards. What wonderful memories he has of her!!
Darren you are lovely, Love from America. Food needs love in the cooking. That is why she is The People's Princess. All over the world. We miss her even in America..I cried when she passed an ocean away.
Hi Dragonclaws, I had to sleep with a night light the night I heard of her passing (murder). Had to have a night light for a month or more.
My Gosh, Princess Diana asked this Chef to Hold Prince Harry while she ate, she was a loving and gracious individual! God Love Her
"Hunky firemen all to my self"! So fun, Darren. Thanks for this beautiful memory.
What a lovely tribute to Princess Diana, Darren. We loved her very much - such a caring humanitarian and such a lovely person.
It’s lovely to hear Darren’s recollections of Princess Diana. It’s very clear that Darren really knew her, and it’s refreshing that Darren’s memories come from a place of love and respect, unlike some of her former staff that have attempted to commercialise their relationship with Princess Diana.

wth? He's capitalizing on his association as well.
If the first baby I ever held was an actual Prince I would be wayyy too stressed

I miss her so much. It really saddens me that she never got to see her grandchildren
I’m so glad he still referred to her as an HRH.
It is nice to hear stories from someone who cared about her
Enjoy the cooking tips as well 😂
This was a better tribute than that statue they revealed
That’s true he really is a lovely man ❤️🤗🥰
My thoughts exactly.
🤣🤣🤣
Well said...
It’s obvious that this chef had great admiration for Princess Diana and her boys ... such a lovely man ❤❤❤❤

You're so right!
It doesn't surprise me that Diana enjoyed eating meals in the kitchen. She must have known how much Chef Darren admired her, and she felt comfortable around him. Well done, Chef!
What a man Darren. U were fortunate to work so closely with Princess and the Duke .
Yes she was such a TREASURE to our country. Love her still today. God bless you HRH Princess Diana.
I love watching Darren cook and listening to him telling his story.
It’s like listening to your uncle telling his story like a little kid at the dinner table .
Same 💯❤️
I can see why Diana loved hanging out with him
Loved the Clint Eastwood story! If you were at a restauant he would have given you a fistful of dollars.
Lmao 👍👍🤣🤣
💯🤣
"60 years young"- you are truly a princess Diana fan. She seemed like such a lovely person and this is a great tribute ❤️❤️ Good job 👍
Elegantly put, 60 years young. No wonder she loved hanging out with you in the kitchen 😀🌹
It looked delicious.
I'm glad to know she
Had good taste in
Food like I do !!!!!

Born to be the Queen Consort, destined to be the people's princess, lives forever as the "Queen of Hearts".
You really loved and love Diana, such a touching tribute. Too soon, she was so young, such a crime.
Always lovely to hear Darren speak of Her Royal Highness. You can hear the affection in his voice.
NOTHING ROYAL ABOUT A CHEATING WIFE ..OR HUSBAND CHARLIE ..BUT TELL ABOUT HER GREATEST FRIENDS JIMMSERS HEWITT & SAVILE
Princesa Diana and
Clint Eastwood in a
Big party they seem
Not to like each other
So thus way , I was
Surprised to know
He was there in his
Cowboy boots
Looking hot!!!!
She was incredible, and stolen too soon…
I hope the boys see this. It's always so heartening to hear good stories about our loved ones.
Aw I’m sure they would approve ❤️🤗😇💕
William has turned the page!
Thank you so much Darren for sharing HRH favourite recipes with us all..... Yes, surely she was and still is the people's princess.

Thank you Darren for the throwback may her gentle soul rest in perfect peace love you Diana ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are so lucky,she was an angel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Diana is as close to a real Disney princess as any person will ever come. She was a member of royalty who genuinely cared about people and was humble and grounded while also being elegant.
Princess Diana seems to have been as beautiful inside as she was on the outside. I wish I could have met her.
Well, her husband had other plans
Happy Birthday Diana 💕 look forward to all forthcoming new events 💥 😁 so happy 🥰
That’s an amazing breakfast! On my list of todo’s
She is the only one of the royals that I wish I could have met. Its a real shame. And thank you for telling us of your memories.
She is a lovely Princess Diana.. gorgeous Lady Di💝🥰💝
I love how you still called her "Your royal highness" ❤️
What a loss. And now the King is on the throne with his Queen Consort. Doesn't seem fair. Thanks for your stories!

I find you to be an honest man with integrity.
You have my respect.

Diana and I was born the same year 1961 I'll be 60 in December 29th.This is a wonderful tribute to her.We will always miss Princess Diana.
I think I had a tear on the “ smiley face” dish ❤
His memories are fresh and happy, that's a nice way to think of the Princess and her boys.
Even just speaking of her I can feel her aura, thank you for sharing.
I always cry thinking/hearing of princess diana.
Fascinating to hear how she changed this chefs life.
Forget the food I love the story’s
Well done

Thank u DArren for this my eyes rain tears for the late priccess of people's heart.she was awesome lovely down to earth
I have to admit that this is the very first cooking show that made me tear up. Thanks Darren, you confirmed everything I believed about Diana.
Such a gesture of him to do this... He showed us a glimpse of Diana, bring her back a little... Thank you for this Cheff.
Ps great looking eggs!
So smart of him to save the cards and hand written notes from Diana! She truly touched people all over the world. I am in the US and I stayed up til 4 am to watch her funeral and cried all day afterwards. What wonderful memories he has of her!!
What a fabulous life you have made for yourself. Thank you for sharing a bit of the inside of the Royal Palace and the family.
