How Princess Diana duped Oprah

Princess Diana’s former chef Darren McGrady has revealed how she duped Oprah Winfrey —  with a high-calorie meal.

McGrady, who was HRH’s personal chef at London’s Kensington Palace for four years, recounts a lunch Diana had with the TV talk-show titan when Prince Charles’ then-wife “pulled a fast one.”

“They were both eating tomato mousses and, after a few mouthfuls, Oprah, another famous dieter, put down her spoon and said: ‘Diana, how do you stay so slim eating rich food like this?’ The princess replied: ‘I just eat small portions and work out.’

“That wasn’t quite the truth though,” McGrady told the Huffington Post’s Rebecca Adams.

“Diana had me serve her a fat-free version of the mousse, while Oprah was eating the full-fat dish chock full of mayonnaise, sour cream and heavy cream.

“Diana never did tell her the truth,” added McGrady.
