The Kate presents Portrait of the Queen with special royal cocktails by Highclere Castle Gin
The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, is pleased to partner with Highclere Castle Gin to present a royal celebration of Queen Elizabeth II with the documentary film PORTRAIT OF THE QUEEN and offerings of two special royal cocktails on Wednesday, February 1, 2023 at 7 pm.
Queen Elizabeth II was the most photographed, the most loved and talked about, spied upon, praised, criticized, popular woman on theplanet. All over the globe and in every moment of her long life, that came to an end at the age of 96, people have always wanted to watch her through a peephole, discover new things about her, get to know her better, connect with her and understand her.
PORTRAIT OF THE QUEEN offers an original portrayal of the story of The Queen from a totally new perspective: through the most intense, amazing, revealing photographic portraits of her, as shared by the extraordinary photographers who accompanied and often created the image of the British monarchy itself. Special focus is given to each of The Queen’s most intimate, faithful portraits, symbols of 20th century history, contextualized by the photographers who portrayed Her Majesty – Brian Aris, Jason Bell, Julian Calder, Chris Levine, David Montgomery, and John Swannell.
Two special cocktails created by Highclere Castle mixologists in honor of the royal family will be available at the Kate bar that evening – The Crowned Cup featuring Chambord, Curacao, and grapefruit juice; and The King Charles with single malt scotch, Curacao and lemon juice. The botanicals used in the gin are harvested from Highclere Castle’s ancient estate in Newbury, UK, the filming location of DOWNTON ABBEY, where George Herbert, the 8th Earl and Countess of Carnarvon reside. He is the godson of the late Queen and his father, the 7the Earl, was the Queen’s racing manager and confidant, affectionately called Porchey.
