I gave this book four stars because it is the first book I have come across that deals with dressing the Queen. Angela Kelly, 65, was Her Majesty's dresser and said to be one of her "true friends" - but it's claimed not everybody was that fond of her.

The queen met with James Bond and then "helicoptered and parachuted into the arena" for the opening ceremonies. A must read for anyone who loves everything Royal, or history buffs, and even home sewers who can marvel as I did at the spectacular one-of-a-kind creations.Angela is a pivotal person in the Queen’s life and since Prince Philip died, she’s become her real go-to woman,” says Holt.

One of the good things about working in the same job for such a long time is that it allows you to put things right that haven't gone quite as planned in the past.
