The Queen's personal adviser has described how she took on a new role during lockdown - hairdresser to the monarch. Angela Kelly has updated her book about serving the Queen and included a new chapter that covers the pandemic and reveals details about royal life under Covid, including how she set and cut the monarch's hair.
The Queen spent much of the pandemic in the safety of Windsor Castle, protected in "HMS Bubble", believed to be the nickname given to her reduced household of dedicated staff. Ms Kelly, the Queen's senior dresser and personal adviser, was part of the team who would have isolated with the head of state for periods.
Her revised book, The Other Side Of The Coin: The Queen, The Dresser And The Wardrobe, first published in 2019, also covers the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral, the first public engagements post-lockdown and looks ahead to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.
