Former Royal Chef Cooks 'Spaggy Bol' for Prince William and Harry

So much sad news going on now with Prince William and Harry in the media right now. In this video I look back to happy times, when the boys were best friends and I cooked for them at Kensington Palace and share one of their favorite dishes Spaghetti Bolognese.

There are many different recipes for this dish, some add red wine some don't use the sofrito. This is the recipe I cooked for William and Harry and also the one I cook at home for my family. I hope you and your family enjoy it too.

Spaghetti Bolognese
Serves 4

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves , minced
2 sticks of celery, finely diced
1 large carrot, grated
1 onion , finely chopped
1 lb / 500g beef mince / ground beef
2 beef bouillon cubes or 1 TBS better than bouillon or 2 TBS powdered beef bouillon
800g or 28 oz can crushed tomato (or fine diced tomatoes)
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 TBS flour
Salt and pepper

Heat the oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery and garlic, cook for 3 -5 minutes or until light golden and softened.
Turn up the heat to high and add the beef. Cook, breaking it up as your go, until browned.
Add the flour and stir. Add the tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and bouillon.
Bring to a simmer then turn down to medium so it bubbles gently. Cook for 25 – 30 minutes with a lid on stirring occasionally, adding a little water if the sauce gets too thick. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve with spaghetti or your favorite pasta or over rice. And garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.

Good for you, Darren. You are 100% correct to NOT get involved in the mess that now exists. Love your sharing the dishes you prepared for the royal family😊👍

It’s so sweet how he’s referring to William and Harry as his boys. Its like he’s a proud uncle talking about his nephew’s.

[jacobfranz]

You are such a nice, kind, gentle, humorous and wise man, and so respectful, and lovingly protective of Princess Diana and the boys. God bless you and your wonderful family. I am glad we have you on this side of the pond.

I wish this man had his own TV show, he is too precious. We must preserve him at all costs!!

[CJ.X.Y.Z]

So proud of Darren for not involving himself in the drama

I hope the "boys" see this. A wonderful memory of better times.

This is actual content and what YouTube should be for... 99% of channels don't come close to this in terms of originality, insight, class, and comfort!

I can't get over how this chef can cut veggies without looking! True master.

My mother made spaghetti on Thursday! It was my favorite day of the week! Dad would pick up a nice loaf of French bread. Sometimes we had a salad but often not. Mom tended to make the same dishes each day of the week. Friday was shrimp, 4 pounds for a dollar. 1948~Sunday was a roast. Cheers everybody

[adrienneclarke]

Love your show. It's evidence that you can be successful telling beautiful stories about the family.

[juliebarron]

That is so sweet of you to share your stories. I'm so pleased they behaved just as I imagined. God bless you 🙏❤

[elvenkind]

Haha, love his silly, so warmhearted humor. "WINSTON!" and blaming an invisible little dog! 😀

[tigergreg]

I can only imagine how much fun they had with this guy, he seems really nice.
I love this type of food, and I'm going to make it some time soon. Thanks.

[vlm]

I hope they both watch you now. It's nice to hear stories of the "good old days" with the boys and in the RF. This looks delicious.

[roxannevlogs]

Thank you for sharing this and you should be on the air ……empathy, compassion is much needed everywhere in the world 🥰🙌🏼❤️

[tateg.]

I can't believe how you just slice and chop away without looking down at your fingers and what you're doing! Amazing level of intuition

I just discovered this channel. I am a chef myself with nearly 20 years on my back. In cooking school we got to hear stories of the legendary royal chefs. So i basically just learned that one of the people i look up to in my job makes videos and super sympathic in doing so. Much love!

[patricialambert]

Good day Darren, looks great! Thanks for the warm stories of William and Harry and sharing one of their favorite meals. You were a great addition to their childhood! Bless you!💕

I saw my dad who descend from a long lineage of French chefs (even tho he was never professional) cutting and he passed that onto me from an early age. You sir, may have the finest knife skills I have ever seen! Your ability to carry the conversation looking into the camera (or as I imagine your royal guest's eyes) while cutting with such precision and speed is astounding. Immediate notice of the uneven cut as well, all while telling stories and teaching the recipe. A royal chef for sure!
