The Queen has been surrounded by friends and confidants her whole life, with each offering invaluable support and guidance throughout her 70-year reign. But this small inner circle was more important than ever when the Monarch lost her "strength and stay", Prince Philip.
The Countess of Wessex and her niece Lady Sarah Chatto are among the family members she leans on at difficult times, and another key figure is Her Majesty's dresser, Angela Kelly. Angela has worked for the Royal Family for more than 25 years and released her book, 'The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe' in 2019 with the monarch's blessing.
It is full of heart-warming anecdotes about their close relationship, one of which tells the story of a hilarious prank Kelly played on The Queen during their visit to Australia.
