The right-hand woman to the late Queen has appeared to confirm she lost her grace-and-favour home following the death of the monarch. Angela Kelly, who served as the Queen's personal stylist, took to Instagram to announce she would be leaving a property on the Windsor estate.
Known for designing some of her most iconic and colourful outfits, Angela also seemed to confirm that her work phone had been switched off and she would be moving north to be closer to family. It comes as reports have suggested that King Charles was not a fan of her.
The Mirror reports Angela, who bubbled up with the late Queen and Prince Philip at Windsor Castle during the Covid pandemic, posted a picture of what appeared to be her garden. Accompanying the snap, she wrote: "Getting ready to say goodbye. I am moving at last to my new home which I will be able to call My Home at last."
Replying to a pal, she also stated that her work phone had been disconnected and she would be moving to the Peak District, located in the North of England. The Liverpool dock workers daughter worked for the Queen for almost 30 years.
She would go on to become one of her most trusted confidants. The pair would often sit and chat about "anything and everything”, while drinking tea and swapping jokes and anecdotes about their grandchildren.
In a rare interview with the Telegraph in 2007, she said: "We are two typical women. We discuss clothes, make-up, jewellery. We say, 'Would this piece of jewellery look nice with that outfit?', and things like that."
Charles has reportedly raised concerns about the number of books Angela has published - with the Queen’s blessing. They are mainly based on the Queen's wardrobe, but some have included behind-the-scenes pictures.
A third book is also believed to be in the works
A source told the Daily Mail: "His concerns were solely about protecting both the dignity of the Queen and the Crown.
"Nothing has changed with his mother’s death. If anything, he is more determined to defend her reputation and her legacy."
In March, Angela was recognised by the King in the Queen's demise honours list but she only became a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, rather than a Dame Commander.
A royal source previously told the Mail On Sunday: "She's been told she will soon have to move out. It's a nice little place on the Windsor Estate and it was convenient for seeing her grandson, who was at college nearby.
"But the King has made it clear that under the new reign, people will have to cut their cloth. The King is clearly not in the habit of providing homes for those no longer working for the Monarchy."
