They may be one of the most famous families in the world, but that doesn’t mean that underneath all the pomp and circumstance, the royals aren’t human just like the rest of us.
And while there are certainly perks to being a member of the royal family, it’s also undoubtedly stressful.
Knowing that, you can’t blame the Windsors for wanting to indulge themselves in a cheeky tipple to unwind at the end of the day.
Plus, with all their official royal duties, which often involve attending fancy balls, state dinners and lush overseas tours to far-flung destinations, sometimes drinking a glass of champagne or pulling a pint at a local pub is actually part of the royals’ official job description.
So if you’re looking for an excuse to crack open a bottle or head to the pub with a girlfriend, we’ve got plenty of gorgeous photos of the royals enjoying a drink to get you in the mood!
Keep scrolling to see them enjoying a drink just like the rest of us.
Please remember to drink responsibly. If you or someone you know needs help, please call the National Alcohol and Other Drug hotline on 1800 250 015 or call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
