Princess Diana's 'favourite' lunch dish which she requested 'at least once a week'

Princess Diana's chef - who served the royals for a whopping 15 years - has revealed the former Princess of Wales' favourite lunchtime dish.

In a video posted on the cooking star's YouTube channel to commemorate what would have been Diana's 60th birthday, Darren McGrady revealed to viewers that she loved "comfort foods" which she could enjoy with her sons William and Harry.According to Darren, "one of her favourite meals" was known as 'Eggs Suzette' and was made up of mainly baked potato and eggs.

Darren said: "Egg Suzette - you can see why it was one of the Princess Diana's favourites. She requested it at least once a week."She loved that poached egg on top, a little hollandaise sauce and some spinach on the bottom."In order to prepare the dish, start by baking a raw jacket potato until it is soft in the centre, then remove it from the oven and leave it to cool.Slice the potato down the centre into two halves, lengthways, before carefully scooping out the fluffy potato core into a bowl.The royal chef noted that it is important not to damage the skin as this will form a "shell" for the rest of the fillings later on.To the bowl of potato, add butter, egg yolk and a pinch of salt and pepper to help make a "nice glaze" that will be piped into the skin.

Mash the mixture with a fork to form a mostly smooth mixture. It's okay to have a few lumps, as long as they're small enough to be piped through a nozzle.Transfer the potato filling into a piping bag (or sandwich bag with the corner snipped off), and carefully pipe around the edge of the empty spud-skin shell.Place the potato on to a baking tray and into the oven at 400C, and cook until the piping is golden brown.
