Inside the Queen's Wardrobe: A Personal Journey with Angela Kelly
The Queen's former personal dresser, Angela Kelly, recently shared insights into her close relationship with the late monarch. They would start their mornings dancing to ABBA's Dancing Queen in the Queen's bedroom, showcasing a relaxed and fun side of the Queen. Angela, who considered the Queen her best friend, designed many of the Queen's iconic outfits and took care of her jewelry. Following the Queen's passing, Angela had to leave her residence on the Windsor estate and is now moving to a new home in the Peak District near Sheffield, provided by the King. Despite the departure, six outfits designed by Angela for the Queen will be displayed in an exhibition at Buckingham Palace titled Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style. Angela fondly remembers spending Easter holidays with the Queen at Windsor, where the Queen enjoyed being a grandmother and engaging in family activities. Angela's journey with the Queen began in 1992 when she met her in Berlin and later became her dresser, releasing two books about her experiences with the Queen. Despite some controversies surrounding her publications and relationships with other staff members, Angela cherishes the memories and friendship she shared with the late Queen.
