Princess Diana’s struggle with bulimia was no secret, but after splitting from Prince Charles in 1992, she started with a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. Her former head chef, Darren McGrady, previously talked about the changes, saying: – By the time I moved to Kensington Palace, the Princess had already confronted the bulimia and talked about it in the hope that other people would do. She got her life back on track. She was working out at the gym every day, looking the best she ever did. She had changed, she was now a healthy eater. –
