Queen Enjoys Novello Wine!
They were having lunch - a plate of delicious pasta with courgettes, lemon zest and grated goat's cheese which gave a sharp taste to the otherwise bland flavour of the courgettes. One of those marvellous Italian recipes that could be dashed off in a few minutes. A meal in itself. The Press Secretary shrugged off the compliments - he was a talented cook and always ready to help out when Maria flapped.
As she put down her fork after a second helping of pasta, the Queen poured a glass of Novello wine. It was called 'Winter Flowers' and had just been released. As she sipped the light bodied wine with its hints of fruit and mellowness, she asked
"Where is Bracciano?"
"It's a small town to the north of Rome, on a rather picturesque lake - about 40 kms from the Eternal City" replied the Press Secretary.
There had been a lot of coverage in the papers as the town got ready for Tom Cruise's third wedding.
The fairy tale castle overlooking the lake was the venue it appeared. Crawling with paparazzi, there was lots of speculation about whether the wedding would be legal or not. Tom wanted a Scientology ceremony, Katie wanted a Roman Catholic one. But everyone knew that she would be wearing a Giorgio Armani dress.
"The mayor says she hasn't had any requests for a civil ceremony, the local parish priest says 'no way' as Tom is divorced, Scientology is not recognised in Italy, so that means a sort of 'Mission Impossible' really, I guess" said the Press Secretary.
"Wedding Impossible !" said the Prince Consort and for once they all laughed and poured some more glasses of the Novello wine.
