About this deal

She first began working for the Queen after gaining employment as The Queen’s Dresser following an interview at Windsor Castle in 1994.

Inside secret royal feud involving the Queen’s closest aide

One of the good things about working in the same job for such a long time is that it allows you to put things right that haven't gone quite as planned in the past. I would have been interested to read more in the book about the history of the position of the Queen's dresser over the course of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.

Angela doesn’t suffer fools, and part of her appeal for the Queen is that she isn’t afraid of her,” says Bethan Holt, author of The Queen: 70 Years of Majestic Style. There are few occasions on which Her Majesty will agree to break protocol, but in 2011, when film director Danny Boyle approached the Royal Household, he had a request to make that we simply could not refuse. According to the Daily Mail, Kelly lives in a grace-and-favour home in the grounds of Windsor Castle, which Her Majesty often ‘nips into for tea’. It's not unenjoyable or enjoyable, you can skim long passages, it's somewhere between boring and a perfect example of 'meh'.

Angela Kelly - Wikipedia

Mary Angela Kelly, CVO (born 4 November 1957) is a British fashion designer, dressmaker, and milliner, who served as Personal Assistant and Senior Dresser to Queen Elizabeth II from 1993 until the monarch's death in 2022.The insider, who was described as a friend in the opinion piece, claimed that since his mother's death, King Charles is even "more determined to defend her reputation and her legacy. Kelly notes that previous dressers did not keep records concerning the provenance of materials in the Queen's wardrobe and I would liked to learn more about the challenges Kelly faced in organizing the Queen's fashions when she began her role.

And in a cryptic social media post, she wrote: "I am too old to worry about who likes me and who dislikes me! By the book’s end it is clear that she thinks she is the best dresser, the best boss and the best friend to the Queen EVER. The Queen then walked to her sitting room, closed the door behind her, and she was alone with her own thoughts. From Her Majesty’s trusted confidant and Dresser Angela Kelly LVO comes a lavishly designed book of never-before-seen photos of The Queen, Her wardrobe and Her jewels and features intimate anecdotes from Angela’s 25-year career working closely with Her Majesty. Even though there are many restrictions for the author to share personal details and experiences to protect the royal family's privacy, we can say that she did a decent job sharing some new information with the readers.The pair are known to have developed a close relationship, with the ‘straight-talking Liverpudlian’ acting as a welcomed confidant and friend to the monarch. The original dress was designed by the British fashion designer Norman Hartnell, who had originally created it for Queen Elizabeth II, the bride's grandmother, in the 1960s. It gives a rare insight into the demands of the job of supporting the Monarch, and we gain privileged insight into a successful working relationship, characterized by humor, creativity, hard work, and a mutual commitment to service and duty.
