  • I said I would do a Q&A because I get asked so many questions about cooking for The Queen, Princess Diana and Princes William and Harry. I didn't realize I would get SO many questions (smiles) Apologies if your question is not here in the first video but I promise to do another one soon. Leave your question in the comments and I will try and add it to the next video! And don't forget to SUBSCRIBE for more videos.

      Yes, it is very relaxing to watch/listen to Darren's videos! It has been terribly stressful with my businesses recently because of the pandemic and high pressure from the investors; I just come home, watch a couple videos, and try to cook a nice dinner for myself! It is really helping!

      I wrote a poem for Diana when she passed away and I say it to myself every day.
      "Diana.
      The peoples Princess.
      Never forgotten. Always forgive.
      Please don't die. I know you can fly. Stay here with us.
      You made me smile with your lovely smiles
      Very kind always wise
      Sometimes I cry to think of you dead
      But now I smile when I think your in heaven.
      R.i.p to the peoples princess
      You could have been Queen but you chose charity.
      I love your body and your personality
      Rip Camillas a nonce"
      Hope you enjoyed my poem

    Fun anecdote because in your thumbnail there was the question 'does the queen ever order fast food'. My grandfather was the Canadian liaison to the royal family for a while. One time on one of the trips over here she was asked if there was anything she wanted to eat. And she said "I'd really like to try Macdonald's' (this would have been probably the 70s or maybe early 80's so McD's wasn't prolific in the UK yet). Anyway, his assistant ran out and got the Queen her first McDonalds. The end.

    When you speak I immediately hear Ringo Star’s voice when he reads his fan letters on that one episode of the Simpson’s 😂 I love it
