Queen’s former right-hand woman Angela Kelly heads out of Windsor home

The late Queen’s former right-hand woman was spotted leaving her Windsor home this morning, hours after it emerged she had been ‘cut off’ by the King.

Angela Kelly, the late Queen’s dresser and confidante for more than 20 years, is being forced to move out from her Berkshire house, she has confirmed.

Not only is she having to vacate the modest semi-detached cottage on the Windsor Estate, she revealed that her work-issue mobile phone has been cut off.

It is unclear exactly when Ms Kelly plans to move out of her grace-and-favour home, but she was today spotted driving through the grounds of Windsor Castle.

Ms Kelly looked solemn as she drove, a pair of sunglasses perched on her face – and a scarf wrapped around her neck to prepare for the unpredictable weather.

The woman, 65, poignantly posted a picture of her garden, telling friends: ‘Getting ready to say goodbye. I am moving at last to my new home which I will be able to call My Home at last.’

In response to a friend, she posted: ‘I’m moving to the Peak District just further on than Sheffield so not too far away from the family. My work phone has been disconnected but hopefully you have this one…Looking forward to my New Adventures [with smiling emoji]’. 

Her Instagram stories from this morning suggest she was defiant to the end. She posted: ‘I am too old to worry about who likes me and who dislikes me! I have more important things to do!

‘If you love me – I love you! If you support me – I support you! If you hate me – I don’t care!’ 

She followed that with a Gif of a child chanting: ‘I can’t do negative today. Positive vibes, positive vibes!’

Friends of fiery Ms Kelly, the Liverpool docker’s daughter who became the Queen’s closest aide, feel she has been treated badly after such loyal and devoted service and say she has become another victim of the King’s ‘property merry-go-round’. 

Sharing a picture of her garden in Windsor before she moved out, Angela revealed she is off to the Peak District

She said under the garden image: ‘Getting ready to say goodbye. I am moving at last to my new home which I will be able to call My Home at last’

Ms Kelly posted memes related to positive thinking and ignoring negativity and being ‘too old’ to worry about people who don’t like you in a series of Instagram stories

Ms Kelly was praised for overhauling the Queen’s image with outfits in eye-catching colours and matching hats. As Her Majesty’s health faltered, Ms Kelly became more of a personal assistant. The monarch had once told her: ‘We could be sisters.’ 

On the day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral last year, Ms Kelly described it as ‘a very sad day for me today. I said goodbye to my best friend.’

Many in royal circles expected she would be granted accommodation for life after her decades of service to the late monarch.

Although Angela Kelly (pictured with Queen) was not thought to have been officially on duty at the time of the Queen’s death on September 8, she was among a handful of close staff who were at her side for her final days in Scotland
