Princess Diana's former chef Darren McGrady has spilled the beans about how she once tricked Oprah Winfrey during a meal.
McGrady said one day while the two were eating tomato mousses, Winfrey had asked Diana how she managed to stay so slim by eating rich food like this, to which Diana had replied that she just ate small portions and worked out, the New York Post reported.
The former chef told Richard Mineards, columnist for the Montecito Journal, that the Princess of Wales had made him served a fat-free version of the mousse to her, whereas Winfrey had the full-fat dish chock full of mayonnaise, sour cream and heavy cream.
McGrady further stated that Diana never told Winfrey the truth.
