It has been more than a year since the death of the late Queen and many of her former staff – including right-hand woman Angela Kelly and footman Tall Paul – have been relieved of their duties. Here we take a look at what they are up to now
Exactly one year ago today, the world came together to bid a final farewell to the late Queen during her state funeral.
And not only was it the former monarch’s family who packed into Westminster Abbey and St George’s Chapel in Windsor to pay the last respects – some of her most loyal staff did too.
Many of her trusted inner circle had worked for her for many years and not only were they mourning their boss, they also had uncertain futures. Now 12 months on, we take a look at what some of the late Queen’s most loyal staff are up to now – a year after performing their final duties for the former monarch….
One of the most well-known of the late Queen’s staff is her former right-hand woman Angela Kelly. The docker’s daughter from Liverpool struck up an unlikely yet close and cosy bond with the former monarch. The 65-year-old, who had “extraordinary permission” to release two books about life behind the Buckingham Palace walls, enjoyed such a special bond with Elizabeth II that the late Queen even once reportedly remarked, “we could be sisters”.
