Secrets from Princess Diana and Charles’ honeymoon & never-seen-before royal docs are revealed

SECRETS from Princess Diana's and then Prince Charles' honeymoon have been revealed for the first time.

The royal couple made a trip to the Mediterranean as part of their post-wedding celebrations in August 1981.

But new photos have emerged showing menu cards from their time on the Royal Yacht Britannia.

Other pictures include a state dinner with then Egyptian President Anwar El-Sadat a fortnight prior to his assassination.

It comes as The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson was joined by ex-royal protection officer Ken Wharfe and Diana and Charles' former head chef Mervyn Wycherley for our Royal Exclusive show.

Mervyn told the show: "Well, I was very lucky. I'd worked with Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth before for ten years, and I transferred over on for the honeymoon.

"I became their head chef on that day and stayed with them for all their married life.

"We were very small staff in those days. There was a dresser, two policemen, private secretary and everybody travels with them and and of course - 250 sailors.

"So it was a very private honeymoon."

Mervyn described how the couple were "quite simplistic" when it came to their choices of food.

He added: "They're funny. The food is quite simplistic.

"They love simple foods, but always very good quality foods and very organic, and it's always been the same, that all of the family have an interest in food, especially His Royal Highness.

"Well, to the King now he's very, very interested in his food and enjoys having a putting it all in and with menus and all sorts of things."

The chef also revealed how members of the Royal Family are given a menu each week with options of first, main courses and desserts.

Ken told the show: "Mervyn would write out a week at a time suggestions for both the prince and the princess at that time.

"But very often, the princess would come in and sit in the kitchen with you and whatever you'd written down in the book, you'd knock it up in the kitchen and she would eat it.

"So it was quite an informal meeting really. But I think that was the whole thing about Kensington Palace, certainly from the mid 80s onwards.

"[Diana] always wanted the chef, the driver to be part of this wider family."

It comes after an intimate letter from Diana to her sons William and Harry emerged last week - providing an insight into their sweet relationship.

The handwritten letter was addressed to the late royal's parents' housekeeper Violet Collison.

Violet, also known as Collie, was head housekeeper to John Spencer and Frances Roche at Park House on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where Diana spent her childhood years.

The letter read: “It was so very kind of you to have given such a lovely present to Harry - we were enormously touched.”

Diana then praised the “thought” behind the gift and claimed that she “cannot thank you enough for the bibs.”

In the same letter, Diana noted that “William adores his little brother & spends the entire time pouring an endless supply of hugs & kisses over Harry”.
