Sharing never-before-seen photographs – many from Angela’s own private collection – and charming anecdotes of their time spent together, this revealing book provides memorable insights into what it’s like to work closely with The Queen, to curate her wardrobe and to discover a true and lasting connection along the way. Her children were brought up by their father, Frank Wylie, and Kelly’s third and final marriage, to Irish Guardsman Jim Kelly, faltered soon after she joined the royal household, after she spent weeks at a time away from home on official visits abroad.

The Queen had been desperate to see a kookaburra while Down Under, so Kelly bought a toy one and tricked the monarch into thinking it was real.

Of course, no outfit is complete without the perfect hat, and a chapter of the book is devoted entirely to their intricate and highly detailed creation.

Kelly has since designed, organised and mended thousands of the Queen's signature looks over the decades, going above and beyond her designated role.

From Her Majesty’s trusted confidant and Dresser Angela Kelly LVO comes a lavishly designed book of never-before-seen photos of The Queen, Her wardrobe and Her jewels and features intimate anecdotes from Angela’s 25-year career working closely with Her Majesty. Whether the day holds a historic state visit or an afternoon at Royal Ascot, the Queen commands attention wherever she appears. Other favourite chapters include Kelly's explanation of how she cares for the Garter Day robe and Her Majesty's encounter with Annie Leibovitz.
