The late Queen Elizabeth II is known to have had a love for martinis - and it turns out she used to order the cocktail before meeting guests on board a flight . Flight attendant Elizabeth Evans documented the monarch’s travel habits , among those of other celebrities, in a collection of memorabilia which is up for auction, reports the Daily Mail UK . The late British Airways stewardess was on duty during the Queen and Prince Philip’s tour of Singapore and Malaysia in 1989 .
The staff on those flights were reportedly under detailed instructions - for example, regarding how to make the Queen’s bed, though she brought her own pillows. They also had to make sure there was a bowl of mints next to the Queen for takeoff and also one in her dressing room..
