Princess Diana Popularized Bircher Muesli in Britain

Princess Diana's favorite breakfast was overnight oats, originally known as bircher muesli, which she began eating daily in the early 1990s after discovering it at a Swiss health clinic. Her former chef, Darren McGrady, revealed that Diana introduced the dish to Britain decades before it became a social media trend. McGrady's recipe involved soaking rolled oats in fresh orange juice overnight, then mixing in Greek yogurt, raw honey, lemon juice, grated honeycrisp apples, blueberries, and walnuts. Nutritionists now praise overnight oats for their potential to reduce risks of diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol. The dish has since been embraced by celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Victoria Beckham, becoming a favorite among wellness influencers. McGrady also noted that Diana enjoyed the dish so much he often prepared extra for the palace staff.
