The Queen may have given up her daily drink on health grounds, but her long association with her favourite tipple, Dubonnet, has been made official.
The Monarch has awarded the brand a coveted Royal Warrant, allowing bottles to carry the label 'By appointment to HM the Queen', along with an official crest.
Confirming the honour, Simon de Beauregard, a director of parent company Pernod Ricard, told The Mail on Sunday: 'We are delighted Her Majesty enjoys our beautiful brand and humbled to have received a Royal Warrant.'
The bottles will display the 'by appointment' labels from next year.
