Aside from drinking tea, my other hobby is Princess Diana. I'm generally interested in the entire Royal Family, but, Princess Diana is the one I really am interested in.
Today she would of been 53 years old.
According to my research, Princess Diana was a virtual tea-totaller. She would often have a glass of wine when dining with friends or at state banquets, but mostly she drank tea or water.
Apparently Diana would drink Earl Grey - black with a slice of lemon but no sugar - during the day and herbal tea's, such as chamomile during the evening as she often had trouble sleeping.
Of course we will never know what blend she used to drink, but, she was spotted in Whittard once!
Her friends have spoken of her having some exquisite tea sets which were brought out for visitors but on a daily basis took her tea from a white mug featuring a picture of her character on Spitting Image.
Visitors, both official ones and friends, have stated that she'd call for tea as soon as her guests had arrived and it flowed freely during their visits.
I would of loved to have taken afternoon tea with Princess Diana. There is so much I would of loved to have asked and discussed with her. It would of been a cracking way to spend an afternoon.
Who is your ideal person to take tea with?
