Following on from her split with King Charles, who she had Prince William and Harry with, Diana embarked on a new healthier eating regime and reportedly found her favourite way to start the day, a recipe that is now a hugely popular food trend across the globe.

Overnight oats had their first surge of popularity in 2010 and are now a regular food trend often seen on Instagram, TikTok and more.
Darren went on to reveal Diana discovered the nutritious breakfast when she was away at a Swiss health clinic.
He said: “She thought they were really good and all the ingredients were super healthy. She stole the recipe, came back and said, ‘Darren, I want these for breakfast every day.'”
