If Queen Elizabeth arouses sympathy, more will she do now. The fault lies with a new book in which Angela Kelly, her personal dressmaker, tells countless behind-the-scenes anecdotes with this legendary and long-lived character.

Angela, whose official position amounts to something like the monarch's personal assistant, advisor, jeweler, insignia and costume commissioner, tells us that she puts on the Queen's shoes to soften them a bit and make sure they are comfortable for her boss. don't get tired at official events.
