Her Majesty's dresser Angela Kelly reveals how she kept costs down on a tour of Singapore
Angela Kelly shares an anecdote from one royal tour in her book October 28, 2019 - 16:02 GMT Danielle Stacey The Queen's dresser has revealed she once claimed tax back on fabrics she bought for the monarch during a tour of Singapore, in order to keep costs down. Angela Kelly, who has worked for Her Majesty for 25 years, has revealed the secrets of her style and outfits in her new book The Other Side of the Coin, the Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe.
Angela says: "The Queen likes to support local people wherever she visits, but we have a particular tradition whenever we go to Singapore. There’s never enough time to go to the market, but as Her Majesty loves Singaporean silk, local tradespeople bring their stalls to the airport when she is due to arrive so that she can personally browse all they have to offer. We wander through the stalls – Her Majesty leading the way, followed by me and the Ladies-in-Waiting.
"A few minutes later, as I was getting the tax back, another member of the royal staff rushed up to me in a panic, shouting that we had to go straight away as the plane was leaving right that second. Soon I was running across the tarmac, flying up the steps to the plane just in time.
