January inevitably brings resolutions to eat healthier or drink less, with trends like Dry January and Veganuary in full swing. But former palace chef Darren McGrady says that the Royal Family wasn't particularly strict about what they ate in the New Year—except for Princess Diana.
Speaking exclusively to Smooth Spins, McGrady, who worked at both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace, says that vegetarian and vegan dishes were not "a thing" for the royals. He explains that "nobody was really into healthy eating" as a whole, opting to eat the traditional meals preferred by Queen Elizabeth instead.
