One of the Queen's inner circle has let slip that the monarch has a secret "booze tunnel" running under a royal palace.
Word of the secret tunnel was let slip by Princess Eugenie's husband, Jack Brooksbank, at a party. The party, sponsored by Brooksbank's own alcohol brand, Casamigos, was attended by many high-profile Londoners, including the Daily Mail's royal editor, Richard Eden. Perhaps a few drinks had already been had when Brooksbank revealed the details of the secret tunnel to Eden?

Eden claimed Brooksbank said: "There is one to Dukes Bar from St James's Palace. I haven't used it yet, but I'd love to check it out."
Dukes Bar is one of London's loftier drinking holes, situated within the Duke Hotel, in the illustrious suburb of Mayfair. The bar is said to make a rather fine martini, a fact that would appeal to Queen Elizabeth II, who is said to enjoy one of James Bond's favourite drinks most evenings.
