Gorgeous book
With beautiful photos- If you have any interest in Her Majesty the Queen~ or the clothes she wears~ then you will really appreciate this book by her long term dresser Angela Kelly; as an added bonus~ there are lots of amazing photographs of the Queens jewellery (brooches and tiara’s) that she wears regularly. It will give you a great insight into what it takes to keep the Queen looking every inch a Majestic Figure that is loved and revered the world over…

Excellent interesting book with lots of designs and sketches.
Copies of this book are very hard to find and very expensive. I was thrilled to get a copy of it, and in such excellent condition. The contents are really beautifully laid out and give a huge insight into the work behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace, as well as very detailed information about how clothes for Her Majesty are chosen and made. This book is the first of two by Angela Kelly, and they complement each other well.
