What's the actual no of years you worked for the royal family? In this video you mention 15years. In the other video about Prince Philip you said 11years.
I love it when people share funny and interesting stories. No drama, just happy positive memories. I like how Princess Diana wanted her boys to have as normal life as possible, even if they were royalty.
@Ian McLean And this person is free just look at the information presented to her in the video she clicked on, you are not an educator it is not your job to inform her of that. She didn't ask you to inform her.
@Ian McLean Yes free speech and noted, correct she did not ask me either and like you mentioned this is a youtube community. Are you ordering me to do something while simultaneously telling me off (for in your words) telling people what to say and not say? Ha the irony, I have you know that I was not telling you to say or not say anything I merely was asking, at first. I mean regardless of what Harry was or wasn’t you said ‘’bastard’ which is also frequently used as an insult, there many ways to you could have phrased it. Still, you said it in that way if you wanted to tried to inform a person of something who was not seeking negativity, you could have chosen different wording, but hey this is RUclips right? Be as rude and outspoken as you want to be. So let me in your words mind my own business, see ya.
@Ian McLean Exactly!!! I wonder if a DNA test was ever done, secretively, of course. If I were Charles I'd just have to know! I bet among the royal family that's the elephant in the room. I also think Harry knows Charles is not his biological father.
@Ian McLean I tried to stop you from making a negative comment to put that. You could also easily had said ''The illegitimate child'' of Dianna. Instead of saying batard, I already knew it pretty much means child a born to parents who didn't marry each other. But it is also still used and an insult just calling someone ugly is generally known to an insult but just mentionedit only becomesan insultswhen the other is feeling offended right? What I think have the right to is to giving my own opinion just as you are giving your opinion, nothing more nothing less it is not that complicated. You turned own oppion into order by telling me what to do. I told you that you aren't an educator etc. I said "you do not have to" do certain things, but I never told you or ordered you what to do. You have.
Thats ridiculous! Hes an employee, and there are thousands of them. Does every employee of Microsoft interact closely with bill gates? If the royals start babysitting their staff they wont have time for engagements.
Jo Nyu No not every employee but there is a stark difference between a janitor and the man who damn near lived in their home and cooked all their meals.
I don't think its intentional, its just the way that they were raised, if you were raised with a chef around and your parents didn't give him the time of day you would learn to do the same.
I was blown away with how he used a frosting bag to elegantly swirl the mashed potatoes on to the ground beef mixture!! After all, you are feeding royals! I seriously want to make this for my family, and it doesn’t seem hard at all. 👑
@lana lake There is also Cumberland Pie, which is native to the region of Cumbria. Very similar, but can be either beef or lamb, and has a layer of breadcrumbs on top as well as cheese. Gives it a delightful crunch. I always remembered it as shepard's look after sheep = shepard's pie is the one with lamb.
Yes with sheppards pie (American version) the mashed potatoes are piped using an icing top to give the mashed potatoes shape. Just like his. They look like frosting. And we put it in the oven and it gets nice and toasty 😊
This made me oddly miss Diana... Never really cared about royals. Even if she wasn't perfect she was a good mum and good human being. Traits that William and Harry inherited.
@John Texas as a Brit I can honestly say I never witnessed any public sexualised behaviour. From your comment I am assuming you lived with her or maybe you had the job title of Groom of the stool! 🇬🇧
John Texas who do you think you are talking to women like this?! I don’t care which country your from or your color of skin, you are a sad person. It’s so disappointing how one person hates themselves so much, they take it out on a woman. And on the INTERNET. Wow your a sad soul. You should go get a pedicure and some ice creams maybe that will cheer you up 💅🏽

Well, Diana calling Harry a “ airhead like me” was affectionately meant, I’m sure. If either of her sons are like their mother, then they must be amazing men.
Vic Hairyman yeah I’m a American so? Mom is mum is ami, is ma, is all the same where every you go no matter how you pronounce it or what language you speak. Mother transcends language. We all have one and we all know how it feels so let’s leave nationalism out of it. 😹

This is so true, I was brought up to treat the Janitor and the CEO exactly the same with the utmost respect at all times. not to differentiate because someone earns more or has a certain title. We are all human.
Listening about how the royal princes were more relaxed with their mum and having lost her so young and losing that comforting and relaxing space they shared with the late princess Diana is so saddening. Makes one cry.
“The boys are different. William is deep and Harry is an airhead like me.” 2020: William is prim and proper. Harry is a go getter and up for an adventure of life.. just like his mom. Edit.: should I say Mum? Sorry Canadian over here😅
William is also the future king and Harry is not. William's behavior will be more heavily scrutinized just for that. He can't be a go getter. He has to act a certain way. I'm sure that Harry was happy to just be the "spare" which he isn't anymore thanks to W&K's children.

I have no idea why this came up on my feed, I’m sooooo glad it did, I could listen to him all day long. He absolutely needs his own cooking program, with these lovely background stories.
My mom made this dish for us a lot when we were little. It's quite cheap, and very filling and delicious. I think I'll make some for my little one this week. 🙂
omg I love this guy! this is soooo cool! and he is so wholesome and kind. You can tell he's just an amazing chef/person who really enjoyed his time cooking for the Royal Family. What an amazing job!
Oh yummy! Cottage Pie, & yes I enjoy the story telling!! By the Royal family chef. I grew up hearing stories too by my uncle & grandmother every morning while they cooked breakfast & having tea/coffee. It was the best memories hearing my family laughing & reminiscing. Great times, God Bless their souls. 💖💖💖
Darren McGrady is just a lovely guy... he seems so chill and caring at the same time. So many Stories and always told with a voice that you want to listen to all day... awesome
Hello Royal Chef, it’s good to find you. I had the pleasure of attending your demo at Southern Season Chapel Hill, NC. Enjoyed the food and the stories.
He kept dissing Charles is the funniest part. Always the boys is happiest with their mom and the princess is happiest with her sons in Kensington Palace. Not a single word about Charles :)))
I like the tip about letting it sit and set - my mash kept sinking so I was scaling back the gravy, making it too dry. Haven't made this for years but have been craving it recently. I'll swap to doing this now. I always like adding veg into the mix as well (hidden veggies for reluctant eaters!)
Well, the real ones had to sign an NDA and the Official Secrets Act, but because this Walt is speaking from the safety of America he can make up what he likes...
My heart still aches a little when I see pictures of Princess Diana....and my eyes leak a little too.....thank you for the stories and the awesome recipes!
@Christina Masden Some people say I'm handsome (for a senior citizen), but when I look in a mirror I'm always shocked by the old man looking back at me. ;-)
@@calebfuller4713 Yeah, although I say it about myself as much as other people say it about me. I'm actually proud to have made it to the age when I start getting notices from AARP, the Social Security Administration, etc., yet most of my coworkers, as well as storekeepers, restaurant staff, etc., think I'm only in my forties or early fifties. When I turned 61 several years ago I took a scuba diving class, and one of the assistant instructors was talking to the class about the wide range of ages in the group. "Teran here is 13, and Brian is 36," he said. "Uh, that was the Brian that cancelled his lessons last week," I said. "*This* Brian is 61." He looked shocked. (I was wearing a hat, so he couldn't see the...uh..."solar panel" on the top of my head.)

It's such a bloody great shame that she is not there in person now. God bless her and her adored boys. I still want to cry for her after all this time. 🌹
I am about to prepare "Cottage Pie" and searched out this particular chef for his recipe as I think it's the genuine-prize "Cottage Pie"! Thank you Royal Chef Darren McGrady!😊👑🏰🍲🍴⭐
This is only the second video I've watched of his, but the one where he makes the Queen's favorite dish is also pretty simple. So I agree with you completely.
It because they are normal people believe it or not, and on top of that the kitchens in the palace are all classical French based. Classical French cuisine is very “basic” when it comes to the ingredients used! It’s actually very interesting you should do some research into it! We had a whole course at culinary school on the royal palace
Mr McGrady seems very loyal to the Royal family, all the stories he tells are very warm and positive. We need more of this attitude in the world today!
If this series ends can you guys make another cooking series with him? Like maybe all his regional British dishes? There isn't much of that content and I'm very interested in UK food.
Food is love, just like Harry and William. Long live our princes love for each other, it goes on+on+ on.no other love than a brother, a special mother who born them
Wow. So not only have I been calling my favorite dish by the wrong name (Shephards instead of Cottage), but I also share it with the Princes. It really is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. I'd eat it all the time if i could.
So lovely, Darren. Such a delicious delight for Prince William, and Prince Harry. May we all have a delicious, happy, healthy and abundant joy this New Year ❤ xoxo Roisin Fiona Roche
@@intotheabyssoftheunknown4479 thats what Mom called it, Sheppards Pie. This chef said that Sheppards Pie is made with lamb instead of beef tho. We call the beef, pea, potato, cheese version Sheppards Pie tho. :)
Never realized how much I wanted to watch videos about the favorite dishes of the royal family, but here I'm in deep at this point. Thanks, RUclips algorithm!

He was too busy cooking in the kitchen to witness anything scandalous, Ha-ha!
Honestly does he even have anything bad to say about them lmao. I mean they were kids

A shepherd, herds sheep, not cows 😉👍
know i really want to try a cottage pie!
Looks great! Good comfort food!
What a lad! Rest in peace Lady Di. She was beyond Royal, the was Loyal too.
The stories are extraordinary!!! You can literally feel it the way he said all those stories... beautiful ❤️ you gotta love this man)
This paired with Mrs Crocombe (English Heritage) would be an awesome duo!
Aww 🥰 wonderful stories of Princess Diana and the boys Thank you
It’s a shame that they didn’t at least acknowledge the cookbook he sent them and say thank you 🤔
Der a bunch of lizard people
dlxe That says a lot about them. 😒
@@Chillerveli Vampires actually, except for prince philip
Not sure why, but I got misty eyed watching this. Thank you.
“The boys are so different. William is deep like his father and Harry is just an airhead like me.” Why do I love this so much???
Darren Sir, you are simply brilliant in cooking and storytelling, I could listen to you all day.
I’m from the US but cottage pie is my favorite comfort food of all time too 😊 there’s just something about it
You sir is the most genuine and sincere chef person. Cheers to you and all the memories at the palace.
Nah in the middle of the night and getting hungry by this chef as always 😂😂😂
I would love to have him as a grandparent! I could listen to these stories for hours.
Love his stories just as comforting as the food 💜💜
This is beautiful. Food and memories together told to the audience like a story😍
Princess Diana was such a wonderful mother.
I am about to prepare "Cottage Pie" and searched out this particular chef for his recipe as I think it's the genuine-prize "Cottage Pie"! Thank you Royal Chef Darren McGrady!😊👑🏰🍲🍴⭐
I love how the ingredients are always things that regular people could get with relative ease.
This is only the second video I've watched of his, but the one where he makes the Queen's favorite dish is also pretty simple. So I agree with you completely.
It because they are normal people believe it or not, and on top of that the kitchens in the palace are all classical French based. Classical French cuisine is very “basic” when it comes to the ingredients used! It’s actually very interesting you should do some research into it! We had a whole course at culinary school on the royal palace
Mr McGrady seems very loyal to the Royal family, all the stories he tells are very warm and positive. We need more of this attitude in the world today!
Cottage pie is one of my favs too!
I could watch this gentleman all day. Well done Sir.
aww, thank you
If this series ends can you guys make another cooking series with him? Like maybe all his regional British dishes? There isn't much of that content and I'm very interested in UK food.
What a gift you were to the royal family. Such a talented and wonderful person .thank you for sharing your stories and recipes.
she was correct. harry is so much like her, so brave.she would be proud.
Food is love, just like Harry and William. Long live our princes love for each other, it goes on+on+ on.no other love than a brother, a special mother who born them
Wow. So not only have I been calling my favorite dish by the wrong name (Shephards instead of Cottage), but I also share it with the Princes. It really is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. I'd eat it all the time if i could.
So lovely, Darren. Such a delicious delight for Prince William, and Prince Harry.
May we all have a delicious, happy, healthy and abundant joy this New Year ❤

Only thing missing are petite peas between the beef and potatoes. I grew up on this dish. Wonderful
Then it's Shepard's pie. It's a versatile dish. You can add anything you'd like.
@@intotheabyssoftheunknown4479 thats what Mom called it, Sheppards Pie. This chef said that Sheppards Pie is made with lamb instead of beef tho. We call the beef, pea, potato, cheese version Sheppards Pie tho. :)
@@1erinjames I used an Irish recipe which called for a dark, stout beer like Guinness. It added flavor & darkened the gravy.
@@intotheabyssoftheunknown4479 hmmmm that sounds like it would be good! How was it?
@@1erinjames it was easy to prepare and awesome.
Beautiful pie!
Awww, Diana was a good mother💙
He is a very sweet man, and you can tell he really loves that family
Who else is now hungry that wasn’t 5 mins ago?
Never realized how much I wanted to watch videos about the favorite dishes of the royal family, but here I'm in deep at this point. Thanks, RUclips algorithm!
These Darren McGrady vids are somehow immensely satisfying.
I like hearing about William and Diana, and this guy is very interesting to watch. Just enjoying good food and good company. ❤️
The chef is so nice and wholesome
Refreshing to see a Chef asking what you want.. instead of telling you what you want
Who doesn't want to watch the former royal chef cook at 5am?😀😭
In America we have "Shepherd's Pie," much the same but with peas and carrots with the beef, or in between the beef & potato layers. I always loved it!
Shepherds Pie = Lamb
Cottage Pie = Beef
Shepherds... Herd sheep.
Ha, ha, you think that's American. Also, no peas...
God she loved them so much those pictures of her with them she is always beaming. Their boys look so much like them.
He made it look so effortless ❤️
I grate carrots and a swede into the meat along with the onions, then add some peas just before the mashed potato's
carrots and a what now
@@princessfunky222 aka turnip
WootTootZoot peas are an abomination
@@kaleidoscope_adventures thank you for the substitution, I didnt have a swedish man at home
So you call a turnip a swede. I wonder how the people of Sweden like that?
Why did this make me cry, its so sweet
