It seems the British monarch's fondness for beverages isn't limited to teas.&nbsp;

Queen Elizabeth has always been the model of regal propriety in front of the cameras, but the reigning monarch also has a bit of a wild side. 
According to a bit of royal gossip, there's an underground tunnel linking one of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/queen-elizabeth-cancels-all-royal-garden-parties-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queen Elizabeth II's</a> palaces to one of London's most exclusive <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/fendi-caffe-summer-2021-miami" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bars</a>. Richard Eden, the royalty editor for the Daily Mail, reportedly <a href="https://twitter.com/richardaeden/status/1444200161736024064?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1444200161736024064%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foodandwine.com%2Fnews%2Froyal-family-secret-bar-tunnel-st-james-palace-dukes-hotel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke</a> with Princess Eugenie's husband, Jack Brooksbank, who works as an ambassador for the tequila brand Casamigos.&nbsp;
&ldquo;The tequila salesman has claimed there&rsquo;s a tunnel beneath the streets of London which means the royals can discreetly slip to a cocktail bar from a palace. &lsquo;There is one to Dukes Bar from St. James's Palace,&rsquo; he tells me,&rdquo; wrote Eden.&nbsp;
St. James&rsquo;s Palace is no longer the official residence of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/the-crown-season-5-netflix-prince-philip-countess-penelope-knatchbull-controversy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">royal family,</a> not since Queen Victoria officially moved to Buckingham Palace in the 1800s. The site, built in the 16th century, now houses offices and is used for ceremonial events.
