Queen advised to drop her daily cocktail; family friend says 95-year-old does not appreciate it
My advice to Her Majesty would be to fire any physician younger than she is who suggests such a horrible thing. If she takes their advice, she's be dead within five years, and unhappy(er) the whole time. [MSN] Queen Elizabeth II, the world's longest-reigning living monarch, is a picture of good health even at 95 years of age. One of the reasons the monarch has aged so gracefully is that she follows the advice of her nutritionists and doctors, but she wasn't very happy when she was recently asked to drop her daily cocktail.According to a report in Vanity Fair, the British monarch has been told by her doctors to give up her evening drink which is usually a martini. A family friend told the outlet that skipping the martini is "not really a big deal" for the nonagenarian as she is not a "big drinker," "but it seems a trifle unfair that at this stage in her life she's having to give up one of very few pleasures."  As per various reports, the queen enjoys a gin cocktail in the morning, followed by a glass of wine or champagne with lunch, and another glass of champagne plus a dry martini in the evening. Her late cousin Margaret Rhodes said that the head of state has been known to drink a glass of champagne before bed as well. Meanwhile,...back at the cheese factory, all the pieces finally fell together in Fluffy's mind... her former chef Darren McGrady had to clarify that the monarch never has four drinks a day as claimed, and the few times she has a drink with dinner, it's a glass of her favourite German sweet wine. However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... the monarch will reportedly only have water and soft drinks from now on. A second source confirmed, "The alcohol has gone, her doctors want to make sure she is as fit and healthy as possible." Posted by: Fred 2021-10-17 |
