At the advice of her doctors, the Queen must stop drinking her favourite evening cocktail as she prepares for a busy upcoming season and her Platinum Jubilee.
As reported by Vanity Fair, her majesty’s royal doctors have instructed the monarch to stay off the booze. Her nightly cocktail will have to be foregone, saved only for special occasions.
While in good physical health, the Queen has been seen using a cane in recent years. Ahead of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations next June she has been told to stay as healthy as possible.
Queen Elizabeth II’s reportedly enjoys a dry martini. A taste she shares with her son Prince Charles.
Aside from her nightly martini, Her Majesty is said to enjoy a sweet German wine with dinner, and is partial to a Dubonnet and Gin cocktail, which was the Queen Mother’s favourite drink.
