An air of claustrophobia inhabits “Spencer,” Pablo Larraín’s psychological drama that follows a distressed Princess Diana (Kristen Stewart) as she spends the Christmas of 1991 at the Royal Family’s Sandringham estate. That confinement spawns a sensation equal parts austere and foreboding despite all the opulence that surrounds it, one that veteran Production Designer Guy Hendrix Dyas meticulously crafted to mirror the unhappy noble’s headspace at a time when her troubled marriage to Prince Charles was nearing its end.
The Royals’ customary secrecy and privacy presented a research challenge for Dyas, a difficulty he overcame thanks to a reliable (and anonymous) royal advisor he worked with.

The only thing more British than a nice cup of tea is the queen herself. If you're curious about how, exactly, Queen Elizabeth takes her tea, we've got some answers for you. As it turns out, while the royals are fairly particular about their tea and the way in which it is served, they're not tea snobs - the queen's favorite tea is actually a pretty common one, but the etiquette of preparing and serving it is where things get very specific.
Back in 2018, Hello! had an interview with Grant Harrold, a former royal butler who served in Prince Charles's household. Harrold revealed that the royals follow a long-standing etiquette tradition: pouring hot tea first, followed by milk, not the other way around. And teabags? Never to be seen at the palace! It's traditional loose-leaf tea, brewed in a teapot, for the queen.

The Daily Mail recently uncovered a photo Butler shared via his private @DavidIs6 Twitter account of an old Christmas card signed by Diana and her husband, Prince Charles, that revealed Diana's unique family moniker. "Very unusual to see Diana use her nickname on a Christmas card!" Butler captioned the image of the note which included the text, "Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year and lots of love from the four of us, Duch and Charles."

Sisters-in-law Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle seem to have it all, but they interestingly can't eat one of the most popular food items in everyone's diets. During a new interview, Kate and Meghan's royal mother-in-law, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, revealed that members of the monarchy aren't allowed to eat... garlic. "I hate to say this, but garlic. Garlic is a no-no... You always have to lay off the garlic," Camilla, 70, told MasterChef Australia judge Gary Mehigan during a recent chat, adding that royals shouldn't eat garlic because it could give them bad breath. (Photo Credit: Getty Images) In the past, it has been reported that Queen Elizabeth hates garlic and has banned it from being served at her Buckingham Palace home. "We can never serve anything with garlic or too much onions," former royal chef Darren McGrady once dished to RecipesPlus. "We also couldn't serve meat that was rare, as...

You could stay that Princess Diana excelled at many things, including being a devoted mother and a style icon. But the one thing she was never quite good at was cooking, according to her former chef. This little-known revelation makes Diana all the more relatable, in our opinion. After all, you can't be good at everything, right? "She couldn’t cook; the princess was a terrible cook, she really was," Darren McGrady told Hello! Online. "I would actually leave food for her. I worked Monday to Friday and I’d leave food in the refrigerator for the weekend, like stuffed peppers. She loved those for a weekend lunch." (Photo Credit: Getty Images) Not only did Diana not know how to cook, but she also wasn't sure how to reheat food, according to McGrady.

Even though one of them will sit on the throne one day, Princess Diana always tried to make sure her boys had as normal an upbringing as possible, whether that be treating them to McDonald's, taking them on family vacations . . . or giving Prince William a boob-shaped cake for his 13th birthday.
Yes, you read that right. Apparently, Diana loved playing games and joking with her sons. Princess Diana's head chef, Darren McGrady, recalled the moment he opened the refrigerator at work one day and was "confronted with the biggest pair of boobs I've ever seen in my life." Apparently, "the Princess had ordered a boobs cake for William's 13th birthday." Royalty didn't stop Diana from embarrassing mom moments.

Princess Diana was an inspiration for many reasons - her charity work, being a loving mother, and caring moments with members of the public to name a few - however, according to her head chef, Darren McGrady, one thing she wasn't so good at was cooking.
Speaking to Hello Magazine, the man behind cooking Diana's meals at Kensington Palace for four years up until her death said she was a "terrible cook," but of course this didn't mean she wasn't well-fed. Darren made sure Diana was looked after both on weekdays when he was cooking fresh for her but also on weekends, as he would prep her meals in advance. Darren said, "I worked Monday to Friday and I'd leave food in the refrigerator for the weekend, like stuffed peppers, she loved those for a weekend lunch."

A commemorative plate available for sale on Etsy says it honors the royal wedding of Prince Henry of Wales and Meghan Markle on May 19, 2018, but the groom pictured isn't Prince Harry — it's singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. But don't worry — the product is just a gag, not a case of someone thinking all redheads look alike! Lucy Bryant, the owner of the ModernChintz Etsy shop, told the Daily Mail the mix-up was "entirely deliberate" and inspired by a commemorative mug featuring the faces of another mismatched couple — Prince Harry and Kate Middleton. "I bought a Kate and Prince William mug when they got married and when it arrived, it was a pic of Harry instead of William," she said. "It inspired me to do something similar... and when I was thinking of a random redhead, I thought Ed would be perfect. It's been pretty popular!"

Now that the world has seen Meghan Markle’s stunning diamond engagement ring, designed by Prince Harry himself, the next piece of jewelry on everyone’s minds is the 36-year-old former Suits star’s upcoming wedding band.
But will Markle and Prince Harry keep with the royal family’s tradition? The Windsor family has used Clogau gold from the Clogau St. David’s Mine in Wales since the early 1900s. The gold has been present in the wedding rings of the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip, Prince Charles, the late Princess Diana, Camilla Parker Bowles, and Kate Middleton.

Queen Elizabeth may be one of the world’s wealthiest women, but she loves saving a pound or two.

It makes sense: Before she was the Queen, Princess Elizabeth grew up during the Great Depression with World War II as the backdrop of her teenage years. Like many of her generation, she was tremendously shaped by the tumultuous period. Even from within the palace walls,...
