When you’re Queen Elizabeth, there’s not a lot that you can’t do, am I right?
It was recently revealed that the Queen has a member of her staff break in her shoes for her before she wears them. And it’s not just any staff member — the Queen has her trusted confidant and dressmaker take her shoes for a spin.
Angela Kelly, the dressmaker in question, reveals this truth in her new book, The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, The Dresser and the Wardrobe. In the book, Kelly explains, “The Queen has very little time to herself and not time to wear in her own shoes, and as we share the same shoe size it makes the most sense this way.”
The Queen’s need for comfortable shoes is very real. In 2011, a previous wardrobe designer explained, “The shoes have to be immediately comfortable. She does get someone to wear them. The Queen can never say, ’I’m uncomfortable, I can’t walk anymore.’ She has the right to have someone wear them in.”
