Enda BradyCORRESPONDENT
This is very interesting.
Enda BradyCORRESPONDENT
A woman called Angela Kelly, for three decades, she was Queen Elizabeth II's right-hand lady.
Enda BradyCORRESPONDENT
She dressed her, she designed her clothes and hats.
Enda BradyCORRESPONDENT
Now, I actually met Angela Kelly one day, not a word of a lie, with your old sidekick, Stephen Mills, at Royal Ascot.
Enda BradyCORRESPONDENT
And we were in a very swish box next door, the Royal Box, where Her Majesty the late Queen was.
Enda BradyCORRESPONDENT
And everyone in the box was Irish, apart from Milsy, who's clearly from Perth or from Kalgoorlie, and this lady, Angela Kelly, who we got talking to.
Enda BradyCORRESPONDENT
And I flippantly said to her, everyone else here is Irish.
Enda BradyCORRESPONDENT
Who are you? And she said, oh, well, my boss is next door.
Tony McManusHOST
We'll get all those details, uh, next from Ender Brady.
Tony McManusHOST
And, uh, in the late Queen's personal dresser, uh, is, is the bean...
Tony McManusHOST
Are the beans about to be spilt? Ender Brady, all the details next here on Australia Overnight.

Enda BradyCORRESPONDENT
Um, but you need to start buying Irish stuff because it's gonna be better value very shortly.
Tony McManusHOST
Jeez.
Tony McManusHOST
Uh, Her Majesty, well, the, Her Maj- the late personal dresser, if you like, for Her Majesty, is writing, about to write?
Enda BradyCORRESPONDENT
This is very interesting.
Stephen DaltonHOST
It turns out, absolute authority is saying, these are pinching a little.
Stephen DaltonHOST
Could somebody deal with that? Elizabeth generally did her own make-up too, according to her long-time dresser, Angela Kelly, with professional help brought in for particular occasions, such as the televised Christmas broadcast, which means meeting a foreign president was apparently manageable.
Stephen DaltonHOST
Television was where specialists became necessary.
Stephen DaltonHOST
And this seems fair.
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
Wanted to get your thoughts on it.
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
Queen Elizabeth, the late Queen Elizabeth's dresser, who was known as the gatekeeper to the Queen, Angela Kelly.
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
She was the Queen's, apparently the Queen's closest confidant.
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
She was among the very few people in the room when the Queen died.
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
And an insider, I love that, an insider.
Sara-Jayne Makwala KingHOST
is uh has said that uh the royals ought to be worried this is unprecedented isn't it wouldn't she have signed all sorts of non-disclosure agreements and things
Gavin GreyCORRESPONDENT
yes although her majesty was so fond of angela kelly uh they were you know almost like sort of bonding sisters and i think her majesty used to tell angela kelly things that she didn't tell other people including her own family and that made angela kelly rather unpopular with some of the royal family who feared that the queen was being too um uh favorable to her And you're right.
Gavin GreyCORRESPONDENT
Normally, anyone in Her Majesty's service signs a thing.
Terry PendryGUEST
Maybe they would've tried to stop me doing it, and I wasn't, I wasn't gonna have any of that.
Terry PendryGUEST
So, uh, I, I took it upon myself to, uh, um, I, I went to Angela Kelly and said, "I need one of the Queen's scarves," and she was ...
Terry PendryGUEST
She didn't want me to have it.
Terry PendryGUEST
But-
BradleyHOST
Uh, but like this third piece here, there was this great, um, article about the Queen, Queen Elizabeth II loving ABBA.
BradleyHOST
So this story came from Angela Kelly, who was Queen Elizabeth's, uh, longtime dresser and close aide, also not...
BradleyHOST
She's like a normal lady.
BradleyHOST
She was like a lady who had to sell her, her dress or washing machine to buy a dress for her interview with Queen Elizabeth, you know-
SuzieGUEST
All right.
SuzieGUEST
[laughs]
BradleyHOST
So this piece, um, Angela Kelly doesn't say a lot about working with the Queen, but she does me- did mention in a recent piece that the Queen listened to Terry Wogan's BBC Radio 2 show while getting ready in the morning.
SuzieGUEST
Well, of course.
Crystal Kung MinkoffGUEST
I would never wanna be in a room with Angela, unless she's like that.
Cynthia BaileyGUEST
[laughs]
Evan RealHOST
She's really-
6 MINS LATER
Crystal Kung MinkoffGUEST
So there's two things.
Crystal Kung MinkoffGUEST
I think what's so unique about Atlanta is that they're fighting and they're saying the most horrific things to each other.
Crystal Kung MinkoffGUEST
I love the Angela Kelly beef.
Cynthia BaileyGUEST
Ugh.
Crystal Kung MinkoffGUEST
I just think it's hysterical.
