An unusual friendship between Queen Elizabeth and her personal dresser Angela Kelly has given rise to an unusual book which details their 25-year working relationship, with unseen pictures and “charming” anecdotes about their friendship. Normally Royal servants publishing books are frowned on, but the Queen once famously remarked “We could be sisters” so permission was given in this instance.
Angela Kelly was born 4 November 1957 (net sources) with a docker father and has worked at Buckingham Palace since 1994, first as the Queen’s Senior Dresser before rising to the role of Her Majesty’s Personal Advisor and Curator and In-house Designer. She is known inside as AK47 for her famously short-temper and her position as the Queen’s confidante has attracted a good deal of jealousy.
She’s a Sun Mercury in Scorpio so will give as good as she gets. She probably has an inspirational and entrepreneurial Fire Grand Trine of an Aries Moon trine Saturn trine Uranus; and a super-enthusiastic Jupiter Mars in Libra.
Her synastry with the Queen isn’t too pass remarkable apart from her Jupiter Mars being trine the Queen’s Mars Jupiter in Aquarius. But the relationship chart is a different story with an affectionate composite Sun Venus conjunction in a possessive opposition to Pluto which forms a Mystic Rectangle in sextile/trine to Saturn opposition Uranus. With a morale-boosting and exuberant composite Mars Jupiter.
Their relationship will be going through some major shifts ahead with tr Uranus square the composite Sun Venus and then Pluto over the next year; as well as an undermining tr Neptune square the Jupiter.
PS The Daily Mail appears conflicted about her birth date but now seems to have settled on 61 years old which fits 1957.
The 1957 date on Wiki is also incorrect – according to this article in the Mail she was born in 1952 and married the first of her three husbands in 1971. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2637810/Told-time-extraordinary-story-thrice-married-crane-drivers-daughter-rose-Queens-right-hand-woman.html
The Mail article also says she was born barely 8 weeks after the death of George VI so that would make her month of birth April and not November.
Her age is wrong! I don’t want to be too impolite but she looks really old for someone supposedly born in the late ’60s. I think her DoB is 4 Nov 1957 on Wiki, which makes more sense and would change the dynamics with the Queen considerably.
1957 looks more likely. Will redo the charts. Thanks Wiki has different years outside and inside site. Irritating.
I have looked up Mary Angela Bradley (maiden name given in the above Mail article) on the Ancestry website and there was indeed someone of that name born in Liverpool and registered in April 1952. There is also a record of her marriage to first husband Frank Wylie being registered in 1971 which ties in with the same article so I think the 1957 birth details on Wiki are wrong. The April 1952 birth date also makes more sense to me as she seems more like a feisty Aries than a secretive Scorpio.
