Queen’s generous gesture to ‘right hand woman’ who was trusted confidante

Her Majesty’s personal assistant and dresser, Angela Kelly, will stay living at Windsor thanks to a kind gesture from the Queen before her death.

Initially taking on a role as Assistant Dresser in the Royal Household, Angela soon became one of the Queen’s most trusted staff. She moved into Windsor Castle to assist the Queen with her mobility issues in her final months, where the duo often caught up on the latest television together.

After the Queen’s death, she was allowed to stay at Windsor thanks to Her Majesty herself. Typically, staff of a royal are given a months notice at the end of their reign to find another job - or in some cases are redeployed to another Royal Household, reports the Mirror.
