Every year, the royal family gathers at Sandringham to celebrate Christmas. Discover the royals’ favorite drinks that could be served during the festivities according to the “Daily Mail”.
Christmas is a time that the royal family traditionally spends at Sandringham, their beloved residence in Norfolk. It’s a chance for senior members to get together and celebrate together, perhaps with their favorite drinks.
According to the “Daily Mail”, King Charles, although he follows a healthy diet based on organic products, particularly enjoys a martini. Penny Junor, in her book “Charles: Victim Or Villain,” mentions that the king preferred strong martinis and Manhattans, even during meals. Hollywood director Paul Feig even nicknamed him “martini guy.” According to royal commentator Gordan Rayner, Charles enjoys his martini every evening before dinner, made with half gin and half dry vermouth, garnished with an olive or lemon zest.
Unlike her husband, Queen Camilla prefers a glass of wine and is even president of the UK Vineyard Association. According to the Daily Mail, she shared her love for wine at the organization’s 50th anniversary in 2017, explaining that her father worked in the wine business, which introduced her to the drink as a child. Camilla revealed her ideal last meal would end with a nice glass of claret red.
Prince William, meanwhile, was described by Mike Tindall as “not the best of drinkers.” Nicknamed “One Pint Willy”, he enjoys a pint of cider. During a visit to a local pub in 2020, he ordered a pint of Aspall Suffolk Draft Cyder cider.
Although Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s presence at Sandringham for Christmas is not confirmed, Harry appears to enjoy the occasional beer according to the British newspaper. In his book “Spare,” he recalls times spent drinking with friends. Meghan, for her part, has a weakness for wine, particularly Tignanello, which inspired the name of her blog “The Tig”.
The late Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother enjoyed a gin and Dubonnet, a drink they enjoyed before lunch. Prince Philip, on the other hand, preferred beer or ale, as royal expert Ingrid Seward revealed.
Princess Margaret, known for her peculiar tastes, liked Famous Grouse whiskey with a little water, and insisted that only Malvern water be used as a mix.
