Also, Princess Anne doesn't drink and hates celery. She also doesn't eat anything too rich in flavour. I read in a book about her that one time she had a sip of something (I forget what, some kind of spirit), and immediately blew into a breathalyzer, sending the meter soaring. She then pretended to be drunk and collapsed into a chair. A few minutes later she took it again and it was almost nullified.
lol. Now I read about Elizabeth's left hook and Margret's being known for her bite and the intellectual curiosity between the two as children. With Margret's history with alcohol, abruptly quitting smoking, being agreeable with a sharp tongue liking to play the piano it is no wonder Princess Anne is really insistent about family boundaries.
I can understand being annoyed by alcoholics and just wanting them to hush, quit drinking and remember how horrid cigarettes smelled and how much wanting them to quit smoking impacted me. The thing is I also know how easy it is to light a smoke and take a drink to try and bond with a parental figure that was just so withdrawn as an adult to try and ease their depression about the things they may of done that upset me as a child, like drinking and smoking, too. I personally do not drink alcohol, either.
Princess Anne had to take on more duties when Margret had to have some time to rest in 1985. It is easy to see why those boundaries about family and public are so strong with her, she grew up in a time where alcohol was a significant impact in her part of her family and so was smoking. She knows first hand what happens medically to someone when someone smokes and drinks.
But that one time drinking and taking a breathalyzer could of been enough to create an addiction, apparently according to the book, I haven't read, she didn't. She is either geriatric or close to being and alcohol is bad for people over a certain age. Newer health story about it.

So celery, is it, how about that, she doesn't like celery. lol.
