The Duke and Duchess of Sussex enjoyed a selection of cocktails at their wedding – including a hilariously named tipple in Prince Harry’s honour, a new Channel 5 programme has revealed.
In tonight’s episode of Kensington & Chelsea: The Royal Borough, airing at 9pm, insiders who worked on the royal nuptials shared a special look into the booze guests enjoyed at the 2018 occasion.
One drink, aptly titled Who Ya Callin’ Ginger, appeared to be a humorous reference to the groom’s hair colour, and was made with tequila, lemongrass, ginger and Kaffir lime leaf.
Another cocktail, named California Dreamin’ – likely a homage to Meghan’s birthplace as this was before the couple’s big move overseas – included tequila, lime, pineapple, corriander and Habanero.
And it would appear the Sussexes are very fond of the Mexican-origin spirit, as one of the third tipples listed was a classic Margarita: tequila, agave and lime juice.

Private club Mosimann’s Managing Director Mark, whose family has provided bespoke catering services for several royals, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, described how Meghan and Harry worked with chef Clare Smyth to create a bespoke menu for their wedding.
There were even some Port Wine Gums made made with Taylor’s 1984 port from Harry’s christening on offer.
‘They were some of Meghan’s favourite dishes from the restaurant,’ he told the programme.
‘So they had a potato and roe starter, they had roast chicken for main course, and they had a strawberry and lemon verbena for dessert.’
And he revealed that the Sussexes were very appreciative of their services.
‘We actually got invited to a small drinks reception in Kensington Palace to thank us for our involvement with the wedding,’ Mark added. ‘So it was a lovely touch.’
Details from inside the evening celebrations at t Frogmore House revealed that guests – including George and Amal Clooney and Sir Elton John and David Furnish – spent the evening sipping bespoke cocktails, tucking into ‘dirty burgers’ and candyfloss from outdoor stalls and dancing to a trendy DJ.

It was, insiders have said, ‘the party to end all parties’, with a carnival atmosphere in the grounds of the 230-year-old stately home, which once belonged to George III.
From ‘naughty’ speeches by Harry’s pals and a toast by Meghan, to Sixties soul songs, an extravagant fireworks display and personalised slippers handed out to high-heeled guests, the bride and groom pulled out all the stops to make it a night to remember.
Prince William is reported to have said: ‘My brother is clearly in love. Being in love is like a little boy wetting himself. You don’t know you are doing it, everyone else knows and you get a warm feeling.’

There were even roles for the couple’s A-list guests, with Luther actor Idris Elba reportedly DJing and actor James Corden performing a raucous stint as compere.
But it was very much a party of two halves, with many of the older guests departing around 10.30pm – and the younger revellers staying until the early hours, before going on to an even more exclusive after-after-party in central London.
Sources said festivities ramped up once King Charles – then the Prince of Wales – who hosted and paid for the evening do and other senior royals bade farewell, with Harry’s friends dutifully waiting to share embarrassing stories about the prince’s playboy past.
Guests even reportedly played ‘beer pong’ – a drinking game popular at US universities in which players have to bounce table-tennis balls into cups of beer, forcing their opponents to down the drinks where the ball lands.
