5 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
THE OFFICIAL BOOK, FULLY ENDORSED BY QUEEN ELIZABETH IIFrom 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. A truly unique keepsake and collectors' item to be treasured. 'For the nearly seven decades of her reign, Her Majesty The Queen has used clothing to create a powerful visual identity that transcends fashion and has made her perhaps the most readily identifiable person on the planet. Angela Kelly, building on the work of the great designers and milliners who have worked with Her Majesty through the years - including couturiers Sir Norman Hartnell, Sir Hardy Amies, and Ian Thomas, and milliners such as Simone Mirman and Freddy Fox - brings her own imagination to bear on an iconic 'uniform' that suggests continuity and tradition, and ensures that the wearer is always the most visible person in a room or a crowd.'-Anna Wintour, VogueWhen Angela Kelly and The Queen are together, laughter echoes through the corridors of Buckingham Palace. Angela has worked with The Queen and walked the corridors of the Royal Household for twenty-five years, initially as Her Majesty's Senior Dresser and then latterly as Her Majesty's Personal Advisor, Curator, Wardrobe and In-house Designer. As the first person in history to hold this title, she shares a uniquely close working relationship with The Queen.In The Other Side of the Coin, The Queen has personally given Angela her blessing to share their extraordinary bond with the world. Whether it's preparing for a formal occasion or brightening Her Majesty's day with a playful joke, Angela's priority is to serve and support. 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. 'The book documents the unique working relationship between Her Majesty The Queen and the woman who has been her Personal Assistant and Senior Dresser for more than two decades: Angela Kelly. It gives a rare insight into the demands of the job of supporting the Monarch, and we gain privileged insight into a successful working relationship, characterized by humor, creativity, hard work, and a mutual commitment to service and duty. Angela is a talented and inspiring woman, who has captured the highlights of her long career with The Queen for us all to share.' -Samantha Cohen, Assistant Private Secretary to The Queen (2011-2018)

The writing was a bit too much I did this and I did that and I saved the day. After awhile it was off putting. Did love the Behind the Scenes of outfits; especially James Bond Olympic Entry.
Photos are the best part. You are able to see up close the patterns and textures. It was fascinating. 👑👗👜

MrsMalaprop Never mind the book. How about those boots! 😍 4y

Totally enjoyed this book, both the photos and text! I got a bit of a sense of ERII‘s personality and humor. I‘m frankly surprised that she gave permission for the author to write this book. It‘s the second book about the Queen by the author. I‘ll have to hunt down the first one. I have an interest in the English monarchy for some reason. 5/5👑s

Eggs Me too! Especially bc of new Crown season. I want this one! 4y
