Princess Diana was known for her warmth and relatability, and her approach to family meals was no exception. A former royal chef has revealed the surprisingly simple dishes the late Princess of Wales preferred for her sons, Princes William and Harry.
No Fuss, Just Family
According to the chef, Diana shunned extravagant royal menus in favour of comforting, homely dishes that any British family might enjoy. "She wanted William and Harry to experience normal childhood meals," the chef explained.
Diana's Top Picks
The Princess regularly requested:
- Bangers and mash with onion gravy
- Homemade shepherd's pie
- Roast chicken with all the trimmings
- Spaghetti Bolognese
- Sticky toffee pudding for dessert
Creating a Normal Upbringing
The chef noted that Diana was determined to give her sons as ordinary an upbringing as possible within the royal setting. "She'd often eat with them in the nursery rather than the formal dining room," they recalled.
These revelations paint a touching picture of a mother trying to balance royal duties with creating a loving, normal family environment for her children.
