(ANSA) - LONDON, OCTOBER 16 - No more glasses of alcohol for Queen Elizabeth, starting with the beloved Martini that gives a life - it is said - she loves to sip from time to time at the end of the day.
To "order" it would have been court doctors, according to the latest third-hand gossip put in circulation by Vanity Fair in recent days and then resumed databloids and British newspapers, Daily Mail in the lead.
According to the usual anonymous sources cited by the commentator of Vanity Fair real rumors, Katie Nicholl, the recommendation was made to protect the health of the sovereign - all in all good, considering its 95 years sounded - in view of a season full of renewed public posts. Covid emergency: commitments already resumed at a discrete pace in recent weeks and destined to continue with the presence of Her Majesty at the CoP26 international climate conference in Glasgow, under the British presidency, at the beginning of November.
To then get to those that will lead up to the 2022 celebrations of the so-called Platinum Jubilee: the 70th anniversary of Elizabeth II's accession to the throne.
"She was told to give up drinking her evening glass, which is usually a martini," Nicholl wrote, citing testimony from alleged "friends" of the Windsor household.
"In reality it is not a big problem - added the commentator - since (the queen) is certainly not a great drinker. But it seems to me a projection that, at this stage of her life, she must give up one of her few voluptuous pleasures".
To give credit to the real anecdotal, his mother, the popular Queen Mum, who died at almost 102 in 2002, seems to have continued to ring her favorite cocktails, gin and tonic in primis, until almost the end of her days.
