It has long been the royals’ top tipple – and now an in-law has got into the spirit by flogging his own gin.
Mike Tindall, married to the Queen’s granddaughter Zara, sells signed bottles for £60.
The former rugby union star, who played for England, has launched a brand named Blackeye with old mucker James Haskell.
And they are touting the spirit on the tour of their podcast The Good, the Bad and the Rugby.

Mike, 43, was famed for his high spirits on and off the pitch during his playing career – and was twice convicted of drink-driving.

Marketing blurb for the gin says: “Adversity forms bonds. Bonds become friendships. Friends drink gin.”
The tipple is described as “exceptionally smooth gin with a fresh citrus-forward, subtle floral notes“ and claims to contain a “very rare and secret ingredient that you won’t find in any other product in the world“.
Other big-name bevvies include George Clooney’s Casamigos tequila and wines by Brad Pitt and Sir Cliff Richard, while stars endorsing grog include Kylie Minogue, David Beckham and Phillip Schofield.
