A lot of us have bosses who think they’re royalty. So what do you do when your boss really is royalty? The Sunday Telegraph has a revealing interview with Liverpool native (that’s “Scouser,” if you’re British) Angela Kelly, whose official title is Personal Assistant, Adviser and Curator to Her Majesty the Queen. Angela, who has spent several decades working for Queen Elizabeth II, considers the queen not only a good boss but a good friend. From the interview:
“I would never overstep the mark and I remain in awe of the Queen. But she has allowed me to become closer to her over the years. We [the royal dressers] are not treated like flunkies. It’s not like that. The Queen treats us with real respect.
“I don’t know why the Queen seems fond of me – because I don’t give her an easy time! I do think she values my opinion, but she is the one who is in control. She always makes the final decision.
“We are two typical women. We discuss clothes, make-up, jewellery. We say, ‘Would this piece of jewellery look nice with that outfit?’, and things like that.”
