You might recognize chef Darren McGrady if you're a fan of the British royal family. McGrady served as Princess Diana's personal chef for four years, and he worked for the family for over fifteen years (per theroyalchef.com). He was also depicted by Sean Harris in the critically acclaimed film "Spencer" starring Kristen Stewart (via the New York Post). According to McGrady's social media accounts, he shared a close bond with Diana throughout her life. His recollections have added to the things we learned about Princess Diana after her death, and have helped fans feel closer to their beloved royal.
McGrady was involved in much of Diana's life, even events that took place outside of the palace (per Hello!). Apparently, this included run-ins the princess had with celebrities, like Tom Cruise. After meeting Cruise, Diana reportedly said she was not romantically interested in him, and McGrady took to Twitter to share all the juicy details about the pair's exchange.
The chef tweeted about the time the princess and her children, William and Harry, went on a trip to the "Mission Impossible" movie set. He gushed, "I remember Princess Diana taking the boys to the set of 'Mission Impossible' and to meet Tom Cruise. Wills and Harry loved the pyrotechnics." McGrady added, "But Princess Diana [said] ... 'That's another one off the list, Darren. He's too short!'"
