Did you know that the late Queen Elizabeth II would sit down to watch Channel 4’s Countdown every afternoon? This was until the show’s the transmission time changed and her structured daily schedule was altered.
In Gyles Brandreth’s new book, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, the broadcaster revealed that the late monarch had a TV routine she followed when she wasn’t occupied with official duties.
Gyles wrote: “At 1:00 p.m., before a light lunch (she was not fussy about her food), she might treat herself to a gin and Dubonnet: equal measures, two lumps of ice and a slice of lemon. (The lemon was sliced for her.)”
He continued: “At 2:30 p.m. she liked to walk the corgis. (When the afternoon transmission time of Channel 4’s Countdown was changed, she stopped watching, she told me.)”
