- Well, sort of, Sean Harris (Mission Impossible) actually played me in the movie. Here is my review of the Spencer movie that takes place over three days at Christmas in 1991.
It’s 1991 and Princess Diana is heading to Sandringham with the royal family for three days over Christmas. Her marriage to the prince of wales has become severely strained and she is well aware of his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles and is counting the hours until she can leave. So what was real and what was made up . I can’t wait to share with you. Because I was there - in real life!
The movie begins with a title card reading “A fable from true tragedy”. So we can’t be too harsh on the things that are obviously made up. Here is my review of the movie along with a recollection of events that really happened.

He's correct Kristen Stewart was absolutely spot on regarding the accent. Even her posture seemed so accurate. And creating the illusion that she is as tall as Diana when she is quite a bit shorter.
"Stewart puts poignant quotation marks around every line-how could a director look at this nonsense in a monitor and think, Brava! ", Time review.
Vrfvfd Cdvgtre how did you find the one negative review and post it
I have to confess I was never a huge fan of the British monarchy (nor did I ever actively oppose it) BUT I had a very real soft spot for Princess Diana. How lucky you are, Chef Darren to not only have known her, interacted with her on a fairly regular basis but also to have cooked for her and the boys. You, sir, have one heck of a personal legacy!
Wonderful- and sad- to hear your memories of Diana.She was such a light,bright person with such a quick wit and empathy for others.The world became a darker place when she died...I will always miss her.😪
Man, I thought of you, when I found out that the movie Spencer was created, because I remember your story about Lady Diana and her visits in your kitchen! Congratulations!
What I loved about Diana was that she was not an “Upstairs Downstairs” kind of girl. She was just a “people person”. Love the stories you share of your time with her.🙏
I loved the movie so much. When she asked Harry what his favorite part was and he answered her I started crying and it caught me off guard. I want to watch it again and again. Kristen was amazing!!! ❤️
Could not understand her accent Dianna did not have a deep accent you could not. Hear what she was talking
About half the time I did not know what she was saying sorry
I was so surprised when the cast was released and I was like “DARREN MCGRADY IS IN THIS AND I am subbed to his channel.” I kept thinking of you when “you” showed up in the movie. It’s so cool.
I felt so sad while watching the movie though. It’s always so saddening watching/hearing Princess Diana’s life because shows and movies focus on well, the drama.
I loved this video though, you’ve got an amazing kitchen.
Thank you for your side of things. I remember I was 10 years old when she passed and I was crushed, my aunt saved me every newspaper clipping talking about her. R.I.P Princess Diana we miss you ❤💜💙
*Darren is a master chef and a master storyteller.*
@5:15 *”It’s homely.”*
Just in case Americans don’t know, British “homely” means cozy not “unattractive.” 😀
*Nice elaboration and clarification of the familiar scenes as well as excellent additional anecdotes.*
Americans say " It's so homie" that means cozy also. God Bless 🌷🌹🌹🙏
Most likely will have enjoyed Chef Darren's review more than the movie. He is such a kind man!
As in the Last Homely House east of the Sea.
You can see that by the end, when he said "My memories with the Princess", his voice started to shake as if to cry. He really loves the Princess Diana. I mean she is widely loved. Awww chef Darren! 😭
"Another day in paradise." That's been my response for the past 12 years when somebody asks me how It's going. Unfortunately, most people don't actually know how sarcastic I'm being.
I get it.
Same here.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't effected by the emotions you showed when you shared your thoughts about the movie and your memories of Princess Diana.
I hope Kristen Stewart watches this. It's high praise from someone who was there.
Darren
Your account of the movie's highlights, truths, half truths, and fiction was facinting. Your comments at the end brought a tear to my eyes. If only more people could see life with the dignity and grace you do the world would be a better place. Thank you many times over purveying goodness and cheer.
I could listen to you all day telling stories.
Same 🥺 I loved it. If you were to ever start a podcast Chef Darren, I would immediately subscribe.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. This absolutely warmed my heart. It's so nice to know that the princess spent her days in the company of warm, kind people like yourself. Cheers and godspeed, Chef Darren.
Your memories of working for the royal family and Princess Diana are so heartfelt. Thank you for letting us know what was real. 💜💜💜💜
It’s so cool that they had someone play you!
Darren always enjoy hearing your memories of princess diana. I can hear your affection for her and more than anything you bring her alive for me as the lively funny loving person that she was. As always thank you for shearing your memories with us
I’m so mad I haven’t been able to see this yet! I live in Northern Michigan and the nearest theater that plays the movie is 2 hours away from me! That is so cool that you are a character in the movie! I’m sure Diana absolutely loved your warmth and sense of humor! ❤️❤️❤️
She came to visit my Uncle in hospital - who was the closest survivor to the Harrods Bomb. My Granny would always be so proud to tell us that story, we even have a picture. I was too young to understand her death at the time but the more I learn the more interested I become.
Thank you for sharing! She was a beautiful soul and know it is very hard to see her being portrayed, we don’t ever forget our friends. It is very hard for me when I see pictures of a close friend who died similar to HRH 33 yrs ago. They never leave you. I am glad you got to see the movie, glad you set us straight and glad you were portrayed, you were an important person in her and her children’s life.
Loved this, Darren. Your cooking, and memories from your time with the Royal family is a warm treasure. It's easy to see why your channel is booming.
DARREN…..WHERE ARE YOU? 😂🌲🎅🏼
Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories of princess Diana with us.
Coming from The Darren McGrady, I am sure Kristen Stewart love to know her portrayal of Princess Diane is spot on magnificent.
Darren, thank you for your insights, and for setting the record straight as to reality vs the movie. You are clearly a warm, caring person who treasures the time you spent with the royal family, especially Diana and her sons. I enjoy your channel very much. Congratulations on 200k subscribers!
Darren, you still love her so much watching the movie must have been rather bittersweet. Somewhat like an out-of-body experience too, seeing someone answer to your name and protray your life experiences. And what a life you have lived. Thank you for sharing Diana and your memories with us.
I can’t wait to see it! Kristen Stewart can play any character especially Beautiful strong Iconic legend princess DIANA ❤️✨🌈
I liked Kirsten performance but the story was not good, I think.
I didn't like the movie - my problem is I remember the real Diana and none of the actresses resemble her to me. She was too unique and it's too soon after her death for all of this. Movies about princess Grace I can watch because I'm not old enough to remember Grace Kelly.
@@TheDragonlady08 The scenes with William and Harry are wonderful. Just as we hope they would be. And the movie does show Diana's eating disorder and that was hard to watch.
The writer of Spencer gave an interview where he said Maggie was based on a real person that he spoke to who worked in the staff and wanted to be anonymous
Darren, thank you for the stories. You were so blessed to have known her. I cried when I watched this. It's very obvious you loved her and miss her. Take good care of yourself, and please keep sharing stories of your life with the Princess of Wales. Happy Thanksgiving here in the US.💙💚💛🧡💜🖤❤
I’m sorry, this is totally not the point of this video but can we just take a moment of appreciation for this beautiful kitchen?!!
I was trying to decide if that was his home kitchen. I think it might be.
@@CallieMasters5000 it is not
Indeed!!! Love the wooden horse.
I love his kitchen
I just watched Spencer and I am so pleased that you were such and integral part of the script. Almost carrying the story line along. I imagine that you were very honored.
Darren your recollections are fabulous, they are warm and full of affection.. Diana was so lucky to have you as part of her team.
Thank you Darren for another great video, your compassion for Diana is remarkable but you are not alone. She is/was so well loved by many except her husband. I look forward to each video and thank you for your channel.
Thank you Darren for sharing your precious memories. I often wish she were still alive, her children must have needed her so badly - and still do 🌸
Thank you so much for sharing your memories with us. I enjoyed the movie and loved all the parts with Diana and the boys. The scene by candlelight was truly perfection. I love the picture of Kristen as Diana and am happy to hear it was staged perfectly with a Sony Walkman and Phil Collins tape. I haven’t seen one of those in a long time.
Thank you for sharing, Darren. I grew up with a huge crush on Princess Diana and I saw her on several occasions. but I failed to actually meet her. When I finally met her ten years later, I was so nervous I curtsied and she giggled. I met her a few days later and she remembered me! She said "I remember you, you were so sweet you gave me flowers last Tuesday. That is something I will never forget My question to you is, did she ever read the mail that fans sent her or was that diverted to the palace mail room. Thanks again, Darren.
Thank you so much for sharing your memories and your feelings Darren. I haven’t seen the film as yet but I will watch it now remembering all you’ve said. I believe she had a special place in her heart for you and could be comfortable in your kitchen. We all love to be in our kitchens.
Aw Darren, I’m so glad you are here to set the record straight as Diana can’t do it.
Thanks for sharing sir. I can tell your personal fondness for her and the emotions this discussion brought up. You are a lucky man to have known her so well.
I really truly value your insight and stories on all things Royals. Thanks for sharing with all of us Darren!
I saw the movie last night and I was pleased to see Kristen Stewart as Diana speak to the Head Chef and called him Darren! The actor doesn’t look much like our Darren, but has his compassion for the Princess. The movie has a lot of inaccuracies and I felt it was ridiculously overdramatic. As someone who has read a lot about the princess, I was so disappointed.
I love hearing your stories about the royal family. I didn’t know about this movie and to date I have seen any docu dramas about the royals but now I want to see Spencer after hearing your review.
Oh Darren, I absolutely love your stories of your experiences with the wonderful Princess Diana. I watched this video through tears of joy and remembrances. Thank you so much for these, please do more.
It's very kind of you, Chef Darren, to revisit what must be a bittersweet time for you to remember. Your account of those times was moving. You were able to convey to us her humor and the good times as well. Thank you for sharing your memories of that time with those of us who didn't know her, but miss her too.
Wow, I was last night thinking about you in the cinema.
Thank you for talking about Spencer.
Chef, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this movie. Regrettably a sad ending for a beautiful soul. May she rest with the angels.
Kristen Stewart did an excellent job portraying Diana she disappeared into the role, she is definitely getting every major acting award and the respect that she deserves from the film industry.
Just saw the film today (late, I know!) then went immediately to the IMDb trivia. When I saw that you are a real person and have a UA-cam channel, I beat a path! Thank you for sharing your memories of the Princess. I look forward to the soufflé and the Q&A! 💜
I watched the movie, Darren, and I recognized that the kind chef was YOU! I enjoyed the movie and thought that Kristen did a marvelous job. Definitely, I saw the movie, and then I started thinking that you would probably make a video about it, so I just now found your video 3 weeks later. The way the movie depicted your friendship with Diana was beautiful. 😍
You are very special Darren. So genuine. I'm so glad you are making these videos sprinkled with your first-hand memories of sweet Princess Diana.
What a wonderful privilege it is to have you Mr. McGrady share personal events and personalities with us. You are a great man and I hope you continue sharing in the best of health for at least an additional half a century.
Blessings to you and yours from a long time subscriber in north Idaho, USA.
Well said! Thank you you Darren! I do hope they stop capitalizing off that family’s story for the benefit of entertainment. Her memory is worth much more than that
Darren's got a BANGIN kitchen holy hell
Thank you so very much for sharing about that time of your life, and insights into an amazing woman who is missed by the world. I'm looking forward to the recipe share soon, and what you'll be doing for the 200K episode. Best wishes, and keep up the great content!!!
Darren, where are your videos that I love so much?
God Bless you Chef. You and the Princess shared a special friendship. It’s evident in your heart. RIP Diana🌷🌹🇺🇸🇬🇧
I am so sorry Darren. It's OK to allow yourself to be sad. It sneaks up on you sometimes. Thank you for sharing her with us.
That was lovely Darren. Wish they had used your input more. Look forward to it though.
Darren you have such fascinating stories to tell!
Your memories of Princess Diana and the other members of the Royal family are priceless. I can listen to you 24/7.
By the way, your kitchen looks heavenly, I would gladly spend most of the day in there!
I have a question for the
200 000 subscriber Q & A.
What makes up a normal day in the life of Chef Darren McGrady?
Thank you, Chef. You are so warm and unguarded. I could listen to you reminisce for hours.
You are so welcome
I was tearing up throughout. I could feel the Chef’s wistfulness and sadness about Diana, and how tickled he was to be portrayed in a movie. I’m so glad he liked it, and I’m glad to know about the made-up parts.
Beautiful! Iam happy you enjoyed the film! I love your video’s ! Thank you for setting the record straight! Haven’t seen the film yet. I live on the west coast in US. I also was there in spirit! I absolutely love HRH Diana, Princess of Wales… we’re the same age.. may she RIP . God Bless HRM Queen Elizabeth II ! Long may she reign! Thank you , Chef Darren for your delightful video’s 🥰💜👵🏼
Darren, you are a kind and decent man and I thank you for sharing your warmth with Diana. On a tough day, I'm sure you made the going for her, just a bit easier.
I love your videos so much. I love to just sit down and turn on one of your videos. They always make my day, keep up the great work!
I have watching your videos for over a year now and I immediately thought of you when I have seen the chef in the movie!
I’m happy to see you. Have made a few of your recipes. All came out pretty good.
A beautiful recollection and lovingly shared. Thank you Chef!
Bless your heart. I bet it is hard watching anything to do with Princess Diana.
You have such a Kind Heart. 💖
I miss her... thank you, Darren for sharing your memories of her with us.
Awe, Mr Darren.
I love your memories of the princess and the family.
I know you give us a true account and you tell it from your heart!
God bless you for all you did for princess Diana!
Thanks for your review. So nice to hear what parts were real and which parts were sensationalized for the dramatic parts.
Dear Darren, I really love your channel. Watching You and Winston make my days happier! Please could you make some more videos on the healthy recipes you cooked for Princesses Diana? I’m sure there were many amazing ideas you were coming up with, I would love to try some :) Thank you 🙏
I'v just found your channel. Flipping through the thumbnails on UA-cam I saw your channel. I wasn't really interested in what the royal family ate, but I clicked... I'm so glad I did. The recipes are interesting but your delivery and your stories are charming. It's refreshing to hear accounts of the Royal family from a personal and unguarded perspective. As they say now, you are "authentic". Hehe.
I'm an American and with all the drama about the Royal family of late as well as the deification of Diana, I wasn't interested in seeing the Spencer movie. I'm very interested now after hearing your!
I wondered when I heard Kristin Stewart being interviewed by Howard Stern last week, if you would be in the movie. I felt you had to. Glad to know I was right. Thank you for sharing this information with us in this video. Here is my question for the upcoming Q&A…. Will you ever reach out to Harry, now that he is living here in the states?
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely memories of your time with Princess Diana. It's been said that the kitchen is the heart of the home and I'm sure with you there to talk to while you were creating your delicious dishes, no wonder Diana loved sitting in there with you. 🥰
Awesome review Darren! Very honest and you got me teary eyed in the end! Subscribed! Much love 💙💪
That was such a lovely vlog! I really enjoy your site. Thank you for sharing your memories with us.
1 What it like meeting princess Diana? 2 what was Princess Diana’s favorite meal and dessert?
2 How did you feel about prince Charlies treating her horrible?
3 What was it like being in Buckingham palace?
4 were like family to princess Diana only person she trusted? ❤️
thank you so much for this video, very thoughtful of you. greetings from alaska!
I love when you reminisce about Princess Diana and her favorite foods and recipes. Love all your posts. Thank you so much.
I love how you can hear the emotions and excitement in your voice Darren. Although I have not seen the movie it just blows my mind how they did not contact you. Yeah it's obvious you are older but not even the actor playing yourself trying to contact you? That I just do not understand at all.
Ayyyyy I have beenw waiting for this video to drop!!!
Thank you for sharing. It is nice that you have such great respect for the Royal Family. Every family has their issues, their’s just happen to be spread around the world, becoming so distorted and mean. Could you do a video on how you prepared the whole turkey? I would love to know how they enjoyed it cooked.❤️
I wish you could make show based on your interactions with Diana. I miss her and I love these stories about her.
2:14 WOW what a perfect dig on Charlies "more reliable than a German husband" ! 😅 🤣 😂
Brilliant and important video, I was not expecting you to have such a big role in the movie when I went to see it and I was surprised how stern they made you out to be!
Dear Darren, saw Spencer yesterday, thank you for sensitive and insightful review . Spot on ! Have your royal cookbook.❤️from the Netherlands.
Love your stories Darren! Thank you!
Thanks for unraveling what was true and what wasn't. It's a film, so there's stuff there for dramatic impact and character development. It must have been an out of body experience watching yourself up on screen! Lovely kitchen, btw. Love the workspaces.
Lady Diana was blessed to have you in her life and her boys lives. Thank you for sharing sweet memories.
What a sweet surprise this story-telling video is - can't wait to see the movie. You are a lovely man. :)
It was a beautiful film and I so appreciate your remarks. Your kitchen is gorgeous.
Oh my gosh Chef, I do enjoy your stories. I laughed so loud when you said the the Princess Diana was taking the Princes to McDonald's. I felt the gut punch, and then the riotous laughter I had when you related the boy's real reason to go to McDonald's.
wow thank you for sharing, it was touching to hear the care you had for her and great hearing from your perspective
I haven't seen it and I probably won't, but Sean Harris is a fantastic character actor. You did well to get him, Darren!
Thank you for this! It was so interesting! You must have so many fascinating stories.
What an honor to be depicted in the movie! But with a wonderful personality like Mr. O’Grady how could they not!
Your kitchen is so lovely. I would love to cook there. So warm and peaceful and not too cluttered. One of my other favorite's, is Gordon Ramsey's kitchen.
I loved hearing your take on this story!!!
I knew you would never call her Diana…and you are a much happier person…it was a very artistic view you could tell but Kristen Stewart did an excellent job.
