On April 7th, ahead of what would have been Queen Elizabeth's 100th birthday, her longtime stylist Angela Kelly dropped some heartwarming stories. Turns out the Queen was a huge abba fan, especially their hit, Dancing Queen. Every morning, she'd tune into the Terry Wogan show on Radio 2 and Groove to it. Angela served the Queen from 1994, right up to her passing in 2022, building a tight bond over those 28 years. They'd dance side to side in the room. The Queen's singing along with her solid voice, while Angela spun around like it was a full-on disco, simple joys that show her relaxed side. Angela earned respect and a bit of fear in royal circles, snagging the nickname AK-47 for her sway. She rebamped the Queen's look too, pushing for shorter hams to show off those strong legs, and switching to those bright candy-colored dresses and hats. That popped in crowds. She stood by the Queen until the end, dressing her for that final trip to Windsor Castle and even attending the state funeral as
an honored guest. Angela climbed the honors ladder, hitting Commander of the Royal Victorian Order by 2023 for her service. These tales paint a queen who loved a good tune and laugh, reminding us of the human behind the crown we all miss. Pop culture, powered by AI, this is entertainment and celebrity news today. I'm Corey with The Story.
