If you had asked me five minutes ago if I had anything in common with HM Queen Elizabeth II, I would have said "Um, no" — obviously. Who would? I am a working woman whose house costs as much as a napkin at the Queen's jubilee. However, I just became aware that the Queen enjoys the same fabulous cocktail that I do.
Do you know who else was surprised at this news? Actor and Hollywood legend, Tom Hanks.
Appearing on The One Show this week, the Castaway star was quizzed about meeting the Matriarch at a dinner hosted by former US President and his wife, Michelle Obama.
"Tom, I believe you have actually had dinner with the Queen?"
"I knew I was going to be sat next to her and so I wanted to be able to talk about things that were of importance but not presumptuous."
After seeing the clear liquid, the actor "dared" to ask what Lilibet was drinking.
"She had the one, that's what she nursed throughout the course of the night," Tom recalled. "I think, well, she's had a wonderful reign so maybe if I were to polish up my game a bit I'll start to drink martinis."
And if it's true that she enjoys four cocktails a day, it's safe to say Her Majesty is living her best life — and I'm all for it!
