He should have his own cooking show, I could listen to him tell stories for hours !
Agreed. Also he seems like a very charming humble man.
True
I know right!
I hope he uploads more videos!!
Yes!!!! I totally agree
Cooking for William and Harry was definitely one of the highlights of my royal service
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 have watched all ur videos, thank you so much for ur entertaining videos
Awesome 🙏God bless you
thank you so much for these videos theyre awesome !! you are a such a kind soul
OMG! You r sooooo lucky to be the Royal chef!!!
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 why couldn't you let this person have a positive story without drama and negativity this once? Smh
@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 CZcams 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.
WE NEED..... *The Royal Cooking Show, with Darren McGrady*
Yes, we do
Yes please!
Yes Yes Yes!
I love to listen to his stories.
an next on BBC2, the UK's favourite pizza with prince Andrew
Yes we do :)
I swear almost whenever Diana is mentioned in this series, the music just stops 😂
Why is this funny she dies
Gatchagaming 101 take a joke
It might be to show respect
😂😂😂
Gatchagaming 101 *was killed
Sounds like he doesn't have any scandalous stories to tell, so he must have left on good terms. (Or very good terms if he's keeping their secrets! 😁)
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
Or he's afraid that the corgis might come back for him
@D Z I was going to say, lol. Raging old people and twitter, what a fine pairing that is.
@D Z what's his tt? What's going on there
he sends Harry and William copies of his cookbook 🥺
"It's unclear if Harry continues to throw pasta at the walls."
I like to believe he does
@fred brant dude you're just tired about Meghan (I mean, must of us are), but Prince Harry is still interesting.
Hm..
HAHAHAHAHAAHA i noticed that too
@@cheshirecat7819 if you hate Meghan you hate Harry that is his soul mate deal with it
He's piping mashed potatoes. He is my hero
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 😊
“William is like his father, Harry is an airhead like me”
well Princess Diana, I got news for you from 2021 event
It seems he was spot on, Harry completely takes after his mom 💙
@@melainebullock Dead?
@@melainebullock It was Diana who said that not Darren McGrady.
She’d cry about her son marrying such a witch
@@adorabasilwinterpock6035
Or she’d be proud that he’d stay by his wife unlike Charles.
Always sad when he mentions how little he was allowed to/expected to interact with the royals.
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.
Calm down
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.
Jo Nyu Also their inability to interact also seems far more rooted in status as opposed to lack of time 😂
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.
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.
Me as well.
@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 💅🏽
@@nadiamejia5048 thank you. There are some sad sick folk about. Thankfully there are more good souls out there than bad ones.
John Texas you’re a simpleton
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.
True!🙌🏽👏🏽
Absolutely prince Harry is amazing
diana was an airhead for sure
I love how one of the facts is “It’s unclear if Harry continues to throw pasta at walls”
"We're just servants, they're on a different level."
No. They're people just like you. Know your worth, mate.
Very true Sam. They couldn't lace his boots in the kitchen. They just have more money but that doesn't make them better. 100%
Your comment made me smile! So glad there is still guys like you around. Thank You!
Stevie D Thank You also! Two kind respectful replies in one night. Have a good night!
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.
Sam Hancock royalist look at iit a little differently. Americans don’t get it.
Diana seemed like a sweet mom and that looks really yummy. Guess I’ve been making cottage pie the whole time! Great video.
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. 😹
Quantum: YES, I AGREE...SHE SOUNDS LIKE SHE WAS AN AWESOME MOM. THE BEST THOSE BOYS HAD AND FULL OF LIFE. MY MOM USED TO LOVE THIS LADY...
AFTER WATCHING THESE VIDEOS, I NOW FULLY UNDERSTAND WHY 😁😁😁
Vic Hairyman
-it’s mum
-“americano”
🤔
In American it’s just called Shepard’s pie lol it’s the same thing literally
@lana lake it's the difference between the meat and whether you put cheese on it
I LOVE this guy! He's so engaging in the way that he speaks, great story teller and so confident in the kitchen. Makes piping look so easy. More please. Or get your own channel!
Donna Kelly does he have a cookbook by chance???
He does mention that he sends them copies of all of his cookbooks.
Jacquelyn M I saw on Amazon he has 3 available right now and1 that is out of print and a used copy starts at over 50.00 plus shipping
@@carolynmedlock811 Yikes! I would only pay that much of I knew what recipes were in it and whether I'd make a lot of them or not. I might try to find his recipes online.
Hes pretty good alright and tells it as it is.
I love how he calls them "the boys". Just sounds so sweet. :)
Skip the hots dogs and burgers all together and just have pudding that's ok..She was a real mum...I love it...she was magic❤
Great story on how she was a normal mom my she RIP and it's good the boys see how to cook
Mum
@@rainerwinkler6140 in Canada its mom uk mum lol idk mum dont sound right to me
@@lucasdobson8344 don't care
I say mum but spell it mom. Don't know why.
@@lucasdobson8344 Some people in Canada also spell it mum, we're a weird country haha
“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😅
Prim*
Alex Dylan actually had to google that! Thanks for the morning lesson! I’ll edit it right now all thanks to you!
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.
@@katr7969 William sign is cancer. Cancerian is a deep and thoughfull person. Cancer can be adventorous but they put responsibilities first over adventures
REMI Mam you mean? xXx
Very heartwarming stories of Diana, wow ❤
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.
“William is deep like his father, and Harry is an airhead just like me.” explains everything that’s been happening lately.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 Too right!
Harry is an airhead like his father
Harry is like his mother
Given what happened in the last weeks, yep. Harry seems to be the one who inherited the most from Diana
It made me cry when I hear about princesses diana she such a sweetheart
Keep crying she dead asf lool

Well said
When he told the story about how Princess Diana said that Harry is like her I got teary. She must be so proud of him now
@nightwishnemo : I DONT...
Shade Bleu No class at all. Look in the mirror and smack that insolent lad.
@Shade Bleu what's wiring with black....
Why would she be proud of him? He's the biggest disappointment since the duke of windsor
@@indroyoyoi how is he a disappointment? the queen's son Andrew isn't no? crazy how you think
Former royal chef:"the boiz"
Everyone liked that
I could listen to this man for days. Fall asleep to his tales. Give this man a show.
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 :)))
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. 🙂
What an engaging person! He's kind and grateful for his experiences.
Probably! He got his 15 minutes fame from bashing Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan lol www-dailymail-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7868409/amp/Darren-McGrady-launches-blistering-attack-Harry-Meghans-decision-step-back.html?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQCKAE%3D#aoh=15800681874376&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Ffemail%2Farticle-7868409%2FDarren-McGrady-launches-blistering-attack-Harry-Meghans-decision-step-back.html
He's such a lovely guy. I could listen to him all day.
OMG looks so good. And his voice is so soothing. I could eat his food and listen to his stories all day
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.
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!
"It's unclear if Harry continues to throw pasta at walls." best line ever
never occurred to me you could bake in a sterling silver platter.
Silver, like copper, is an excellent heat conductor. If they weren't so expensive, I'd love to have a silver chafing dish set.
@Christina Masden Yes, but many people think it's there to be used for *serving,* not for cooking.
@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. ;-)
@@seikibrian8641 Ah, that dreaded moment when people start adding "for your age" to compliments... just like they did when you were a child.
@@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.)
This is beautiful. Food and memories together told to the audience like a story😍
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
Love this dude, so much positive energy and he is amazing on camera
Love his stories just as comforting as the food 💜💜
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. 💖💖💖
This paired with Mrs Crocombe (English Heritage) would be an awesome duo!
I can’t tell you how much I want this guy to have a cooking show
Awww the stories about William and Harry with Princess Diana :'( she loved and cared for them so deeply and they loved her just the same
You sir is the most genuine and sincere chef person. Cheers to you and all the memories at the palace.
What a gift you were to the royal family. Such a talented and wonderful person .thank you for sharing your stories and recipes.
Wow I really loved his tender, simple and beautiful memories of Diana and the boys. Just so wish she was alive today.
I can't wait for Darren's cooking show, so much charisma.
You are just a delight to watch/listen too. I imagine you are just a wonderful to work with, the royal family was and is blessed to have you. 🥰
Sweet memories. Thank you for sharing them with us!
He would be a great tv chef.
Very pleasant and relaxed manner.
Oh and his food looks good too.
No secrets.was a good chef.and a good listener.The whole world Love Diana and those handsome kids.
The stories are extraordinary!!! You can literally feel it the way he said all those stories... beautiful ❤️ you gotta love this man)
Darren Sir, you are simply brilliant in cooking and storytelling, I could listen to you all day.
They'd want to come through and cook?! That would be a worrying experience for any chef! ;)
Passion for food shut up 🖕🏻
@@l.niengboihaokip9817 Nevah!

This chef reminds me of my grandfather telling stories. I would wish they'd never end and could listen all day.
Aww thank you Michelle
He's an awesome chef too. Makes everything look so easy.
This interview and the chef is a real treasure for Harry or William to hear about genuine good memories of their mom
You should make a royal interview
Royal family encounter ex royal chef
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...
The cottage pie when I was growing up was called Shepard's pie, sometimes with gravy and vegetables and sometimes no gravy or veggies
Shepherds Pie is Lamb, Cottage Pie is beef.
A shepherd, herds sheep, not cows 😉👍
Why did this make me cry, its so sweet
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 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!)
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
I would love to have him as a grandparent! I could listen to these stories for hours.
You can tell he had much admiration for Princess Diana! 💜💜 Love this!
What a lad! Rest in peace Lady Di. She was beyond Royal, the was Loyal too.
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
I really enjoy listening to his stories while he works his craft!
He made it look so effortless ❤️
i feel like she would be so proud of how they turned out
Wonder how she would feel about the current state of affairs ...
@@tinkertailor3115 she would probably be thrilled Harry wants out
@@tinkertailor3115 I think that she would be devastated she was a beautiful young mum who adored her boys. As a Mum myself I am sure she would be. 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. 🌹
Cottage pie is one of my favs too!
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!
This is fabulous. A lovely story while cooking delicious food.
Princess Diana was such a wonderful mother.
Sounds delicious. I’m going to make this.
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!
Love his cooking. This last one is my favorite childhood dish too. In french we call this hachi parmentier made from meat left over from "pot au feu" dish then from which left over meat as pie and the "jus" for the soup.
The chef is so nice and wholesome
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.
How fun!

Fairy stories mostly...

Nah in the middle of the night and getting hungry by this chef as always 😂😂😂
I’m from the US but cottage pie is my favorite comfort food of all time too 😊 there’s just something about it
😍❤️Hearing your story's especially of our beautiful princess Dianna.
I love this man so much. Reminds me of my grandad
Who else is now hungry that wasn’t 5 mins ago?
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.

Beautiful memories, about mom and the boys, great home food.

These Darren McGrady vids are somehow immensely satisfying.
I love these freaking videos
Thank you for sharing these stories with us. Its so enlightening :)
Very relaxing to hear anedocts of royal children watching the cook preparing their food.
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.
God she loved them so much those pictures of her with them she is always beaming. Their boys look so much like them.
Not sure why, but I got misty eyed watching this. Thank you.
What a life this man has led! Rubbing elbows with the royals has got to make for some incredible memories. Good for him!
