Inside Princess Diana\u2019s rags to riches’ dinner<\/p>\n
Harry and Diana may have shared a close bond, but when it came to food, their tastes couldn\u2019t have been more different.<\/p>\n
The late Princess of Wales had a particular fondness for one lavish lobster dish, a true indulgence fit for royalty yet her younger son was never a fan.<\/p>\n
Former royal chef Darren McGrady revealed the culinary detail on Instagram this week, offering a glimpse into Diana\u2019s elegant palate and the contrast between mother and son when it came to mealtime preferences.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s true that Prince Harry was never a fan of lobster,\u201d former royal chef Darren McGrady shared, referencing Meghan Markle\u2019s recent revelation in the trailer for season two of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHis mother loved it but would never order it when out with friends. She thought it too expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Instead, Princess Diana had a clever workaround she\u2019d ask McGrady to prepare lobster thermidor at least once a week at Kensington Palace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And when William and Harry were home, the menu took a more casual turn: BBQ baby back ribs with corn, followed by banana flan or ice cream. \u201cEveryone happy!\u201d McGrady added with a smile.<\/p>\n
Lobster, it turns out, is one of those love it or hate it dishes\u00a0 and Harry isn\u2019t alone in his aversion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
BANT-registered nutritionist Charlotte Faure Green calls it \u201ca bit of a rags to riches story,\u201d noting that lobster was once considered a humble food before rising to the height of luxury (and price).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe taste is just not for everyone,\u201d she explains. \u201cSome love its sweet, briny flavour and delicate texture, while others find it overhyped or simply too fiddly to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Inside Princess Diana\u2019s rags to riches’ dinner Harry and Diana may have shared a close bond, but when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":346936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7721,7719,7718,7720,1281,447,7710,519,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-346935","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","10":"tag-duke-of-sussex","11":"tag-harry","12":"tag-meghan","13":"tag-meghan-markle","14":"tag-prince-harry","15":"tag-royal-families","16":"tag-royal-family","17":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115033650650569504","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/346936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=346935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=346935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
