The Queen\u2019s former chef says one of the reasons behind Prince Harry and his family not staying at Buckingham Palace could be down to catering.<\/p>\n

The Duke was forced to hastily look for a place to sleep after being told he could not stay at the royal residence.<\/p>\n

It came after his spokesman announced on Monday morning that he had finally accepted an offer to stay for his visit last week.<\/p>\n

Darren McGrady, who has cooked for all the family, said food may be behind the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuckingham Palace is going through its major restoration – no one is there, and all the chefs, for the most part, have gone,\u201d he told royal website CheatSheet.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be a major operation to suddenly, at the very last minute, bring in a team of chefs and prepare the food. It wouldn\u2019t just be chefs, but also bringing in the maids, security, and footmen. I do see the point in what they\u2019re saying with regards to Harry coming and staying at the Palace.\u201d<\/p>\n
