Former butler claims Queen Elizabeth gave up alcohol after Prince Philip’s death
Former royal butler Paul Burrell claims Queen Elizabeth gave up alcohol “on doctor’s orders” following the death of her husband Prince Philip in 2021.
The 96-year-old monarch died at her Balmoral estate in Scotland on Thursday (08.09.22) and Burrell – who previously worked as the Queen’s personal footman – called her “a wonderful lady” as he fondly remembered his days working for her at Buckingham Palace in London in the 1980s.
He also claimed the Queen gave up drinking alcohol after the death of her husband Prince Philip in 2021, telling Australian radio’s ‘The Kyle and Jackie O Show’: “Since Prince Philip died she hasn’t had a drink at all, she’s been drinking apple juice and tomato juice on doctor’s orders. Before that she loved a gin and tonic and she could drink several in an evening and a martini. She loved a drink!”
