I just googled it and came up with this. I'm not sure if it's accurate, but here we go: She would have Dubonnet and gin at noon, red wine at lunch, an occasional glass of port at the end of lunch, a martini at 6 p.m., and 1-2 glasses of pink champagne with dinner. Who knows if this is true. What I do know is that she had the right to drink whatever and as much as she wanted. Just because and also because it must have taken a lot out of her to have to be on display for more than 60 years. She didn't sign up for queendom when she got married.

It is now Democratic Republic of Congo. The French one is called either Republic of Congo or Congo-Brazzaville. (I always have to look this up.)
