As Queen Elizabeth’s trusted personal assistant and dresser, Angela Kelly was not only an employee of the late monarch, but she became a close friend. Speaking to Vanity Fair ahead of what would’ve been Queen Elizabeth’s 100th birthday, Kelly revealed some of the intimate, behind-the-scenes moments working for the late Queen—who loved “banter and mischief.”
Kelly, who worked for the Crown from 1994 until Queen Elizabeth’s 2022 death, told the publication that her former boss retained her signature wit until the end. “As I worked alongside The Queen, year after year we were getting older, but we were both young at heart, The Queen still had a twinkle in her eye,” she said.
