Queen Elizabeth now lives next to her best friend, who helps her walk

Having seen Queen Elizabeth serene and smiling in the front row at the Royal Windsor Horse Show 2022, the most important horse race in Great Britain had given us hope, but the truth is that the health problems of the sovereign they make it less and less autonomous, and unable to move on its own. Everyone in Windsor is very worried that Elizabeth, despite her being unable to walk categorically refuses to use supports such as a wheelchair that could allow you to move with more agility. However he asked for helpand he didn’t do it with just anyone.

As revealed the SunQueen Elizabeth called to court Angela Kelly, her best friend and personal stylist. Very faithful to the sovereign, a confidant even before being a personal assistant, at the explicit request of Elisabetta now he lives in the apartments next to his ownready to assist her majesty in any need.

She’s not new to Windsor, Angela Kelly. He lived side by side with the queen during the lockdown, part of the very severe “bubble” with which it was attempted – in vain, since she then contracted the virus – to keep it away from Covid, and has been part of the queen’s private staff for almost thirty years. That Elisabetta trusts her blindly is proved – among many things – by the fact that she is the only one to whom she has granted official approval for a book that tells the behind the scenes of life at court: The Other Side Of The Coin – The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobereleased in 2019. A book in which various curiosities are discovered, for example that jewels can be cleaned with gin and water and that the Christmas speech is one of the few times in which the sovereign does not wear makeup on her own, and that now – on the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee – has just arrived in bookstores with an updated version of the years of the lockdowns in Windsor, including difficult moments for Elizabeth, such as the pain of the death of her husband, Prince Philip.

Nothing scandalous, rough, embarrassing: Elizabeth would put her hand on the fire. If Angela Kelly has such an important place at court, and in her heart, it is because she immediately made his own utmost seriousness. They met in 1992 when she was working as a housekeeper for the British ambassador to Germany. Sir Christopher Mallaby. Taking leave, the Duke of Edinburgh asked her who would be the next official visitor to the diplomat’s house, but Angela refused to answer, even to the Queen, explaining that she had signed the Official Secrets Act which forbade her to give that kind of information. A rare pearl, Elisabetta did not let it escape.
