Queen Elizabeth was just like us, having a favourite beverage that she would save for special occasions. But she had to give it up for her health eventually.
While she liked wine, her cocktail of choice was a martini
Did you know the Queen was partial to a boozy cocktail and had a ritual where she drank them? You might not know but Queen Elizabeth had a favourite alcoholic drink – a martini that she drank up until a year before she died.
While we can’t imagine the monarch ordering a pornstar martini, she did have her staff make her the tipple regularly and often drank it while travelling.
According to Flight attendant Elizabeth Evans who documented her travels with various well-known celebrities, the Queen had a ritual of drinking a martini before she greeted guests.
Sharing her anecdotes, the late Ms Evans explained the habits of esteemed figures in a collection of memorabilia which is up for auction, according to the Daily Mail.
The former British Airways stewardess was on duty when the Queen and Prince Philip went on a royal tour of Singapore and Malaysia in 1989.
When the monarch travelled, staff would receive a clear set of instructions to follow. One set of rules read: “Her Majesty tends to like a martini before her guests arrive”.
Despite enjoying the odd martini, the Queen decided to stop drinking them a year before she died in 2022 after realising they are not good for joint health.
When she did drink, it’s known that her Her Majesty enjoyed other tipples including a gin and Dubonnet at lunchtime, sweet wine with dinner, and a nightcap of a martini.
The Queen liked to drink a martini on board
Ms Evans’ collection is set to be auctioned by Hansons Auctioneers’ Antiques and Collectors’ sale for around £400 to £600 and includes travelling habits of stars including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rod Stewart, Cliff Richard, Patrick Swayze and Billie Jean King.
Hansons Auctioneers owner Charles Hanson said: “Elizabeth’s archive sweeps us back in time to the 1970s, 80s and 90s, when flying on Concorde was a luxurious privilege enjoyed by the wealthy jet-set.
“Take that 1989 British Airways royal flight. Her memorabilia includes confidential instructions on how to care for our late Queen and Prince Philip – right down to the sweets Her Majesty preferred for takeoff.
“The Queen liked to have a bowl of Velamints at hand and in her dressing room. Also, if Her Majesty was asleep prior to landing, cabin crew were instructed not to disturb her. She should be left in her bed.”
