The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe by Angela Kelly LVO. For more books about the British Royal Family, click here. Review… I think I did a little happy dance the day this book was announced! It’s so rare to get an authorized behind the scenes look at the British Royal Family. Angela Kelley is not just Queen Elizabeth’s dresser, she is now Her Majesty’s Personal Advisor and Curator and In-house Designer!
