King Charles 'gifts the Queen's right-hand woman Angela Kelly a lifelong home'

King Charles has secretly gifted the Queen's former dresser and confidante a new home.

Charles honoured a promise he made to his late mother to give Angela Kelly, who was recently moved out of her Windsor cottage, her own home.

It comes after the 65-year-old stylist was promised lifelong accommodation by Queen Elizabeth II.

Ms Kelly, who comes from Liverpool, announced last week she was moving out of her Berkshire home, the MailOnline reports.

But it has since been revealed she has been gifted a new home by the King for the rest of her life, with a Royal insider saying she will now be living new Guiseley in Yorkshire.

It is thought that the King has bought the property, which will revert to the Crown on her death.

A source close to the palace said: "Angela wasn't everybody's cup of tea but nevertheless the King had no wish to see her homeless. I get the impression the King just didn't want to be living next door to her.

"The narrative that the King is heartless has all been very wide of the mark. His Majesty has never wanted to see anybody homeless, particularly someone who has been so loyal."

Ms Kelly was adored by the late Queen, who granted her the right to produce books about her role, but was known for her quick temper which earned her the nickname AK-47.

She was seen leaving her cottage looking solemn in a pair of sunglasses and a scarf wrapped around her neck.

On social media, she posted a picture of her garden, adding: "Getting ready to say goodbye. I am moving at last to my new home which I will be able to call My Home at last."

In response to a friend, she posted: "I'm moving to the Peak District just further on than Sheffield so not too far away from the family.

"My work phone has been disconnected but hopefully you have this one…Looking forward to my New Adventures."

An addition Instagram story said: "I am too old to worry about who likes me and who dislikes me! I have more important things to do!"

Some people close to Ms Kelly, a Liverpool docker's daughter, feel she has been treated badly after such loyal and devoted service.

A popular aide to the Queen, the monarch had once told her: "We could be sisters."

On the day of Queen Elizabeth's funeral last year, Ms Kelly said it was "a very sad" day as she had said goodbye to her "best friend".
