SITTING down with a nice cuppa is a pastime we all love in the UK.
And if we’re not enjoying a comforting brew, we can be found at the pub enjoying a drink with friends – and the Royal family is no different.
You might not spot them in your local boozer, but they all have their favourite drinks, whether it’s a classic tea or a spicy margarita.
King Charles reportedly has expensive taste, preferring to drink Darjeeling, which known as the ‘champagne of teas’ – although he’s never publicly specified which brand is his favourite.
Meanwhile, Prince William‘s taste is a slightly more down to earth when it comes to his brew: he likes an English Breakfast tea.
And Kate Middleton reportedly has the same taste in tea as the late Queen Elizabeth and likes to sip on a cup of Earl Grey, but with a slight twist, according to Luxurious Magazine.
What is this twist, you might ask? Apparently, the Princess of Wales adds a dash of honey as a natural sweetener.
She’s not the only royal who opts for honey in their tea either, King Charles is said to do the same thing with his beloved Darjeeling.
But it’s not just good old fashioned Earl Grey Kate enjoys, she also will reportedly have a gin and tonic after putting the kids to bed, made by none other than Prince William.
She was even spotted sipping on a tequila-based cocktail at a music festival in Norfolk last year,
The Standard reported at the time that Kate “was in high spirits, ordering spicy margaritas, eating affogato, and speaking affably with the other members of her party.”
When she’s not having fun with friends or enjoying a tipple after the kids are asleep, Kate will also enjoy a drink with William.
The couple are said to like “the ‘Crack Baby’ cocktail, which is made using vodka, champagne and passionfruit juice, and was served at their wedding in 2011, according to Hello magazine.
That said, Kate is also known for being very focused on her health, so when it comes to drinks nothing beats a bit of H2O and the future Queen is often pictured enjoying a cold bottle of water during royal engagements.
In the mornings, the mother-of-three enjoys a green smoothie, according to MailOnline.
Her preferred mix includes a combination of kale, spirulina, matcha, spinach, romaine, coriander leave and blueberries.
“This smoothie is absolutely packed full of antioxidants that fight free-radical damage, which are the environmental toxins that steal our natural glow,” former royal nutritionist Jennifer Hanway previously told Hello magazine.
As for Queen Camilla, she’s partial to a glass of red wine and previously told You magazine she’d like to have “a really good glass of red claret” as part of her last supper.
King Charles, meanwhile, is said to favour a gin martini before dinner consisting of half gin and half dry vermouth, garnished with an olive or lemon twist.
