Read an exclusive excerpt from The Other Side of the Coin, a delightfully engaging book by Angela Kelly, Queen Elizabeth II's official dresser.
Her Majesty and I often have fun together, especially when we’re away on a Royal Tour and I have the luxury of some spare time. Some time ago, in October 1996, Her Majesty went on a State Visit to Thailand and, as well as the beautiful landscape and stunning local scenery, one personal memory will stay with me for ever.
When we arrived in Thailand, it was just as humid as we’d anticipated but everyone was so friendly and accommodating that everything went smoothly. A couple of days into the tour, Her Majesty and The Duke of Edinburgh were due to attend a Royal Barge Procession of 2,000 oarsmen dressed in traditional costumes, manning fifty-two barges, watching from the banks of the Chao Phraya river, so I thought this would be the perfect time to carry out my plan.
The Queen looked flabbergasted for a moment, then trying to contain her laughter, Her Majesty exclaimed, ‘Ian! What have you done to her hair?!’
