Angela Kelly

Zipporah J John

Angela Kelly's journey began in the modest streets of Liverpool and ended in the closely watched hallways of Buckingham Palace. She went from being hired as an unexpected fresh-faced palace maid to becoming Her Majesty's trusted curator of the royal wardrobe. The renowned royal dresser provides a loving and genuine narrative that delves deeply into the extraordinary life of Queen Elizabeth II, hidden behind her famous couture creations and the extraordinary lady who looked after them.

For more than 25 years, Angela was the quiet girl from the Northwest who was there every time the Queen appeared in front of the bright cameras throughout the globe. She was especially privileged to serve as the sovereign's First Curator of the Robes, whether she was assisting Elizabeth in transforming her opulent ball dresses into understated cottage gowns or bringing whimsical touches to ceremonial regalia. Behind the Windsor Wardrobe is a movingly real study of true friendship and divine feminine empowerment, more than just a skillfully written account of life within the palace's sacred hallways. Angela's steadying influence made it all seem so easy as the Queen broke new ground while upholding holy customs.

Intriguingly transparent without being ostentatious, you'll learn:

Jewelry and accessories: a hidden language The Queen would formerly have diplomatic conversations. How Angela managed to maintain heritage while invigoratingly modernizing old royal styles The frequently amusing secret havens where Elizabeth withdrew to escape attention from the public Stories from Commonwealth Tours that will never be forgotten, about how the two reinvented "casual Friday"

Behind the Windsor Wardrobe honors a magnificent life of selfless service and unwavering devotion. It is filled with mouthwatering details and poignant personal tales from Angela. You will be affected by the great privilege and trust that its working-class creator has been given. Above all, while the famous monarch's life is coming to an end, you will learn firsthand from her closest confidante some hitherto unheard-of insights on the long-lasting legacy of Queen Elizabeth II. A biography unlike any other written by a seamstress, Behind the Windsor Wardrobe is destined to become a classic, praised for providing an intimate glimpse into the kind humanity of the longest-reigning British monarch in history.
