Camilla could bring an end to a royal tradition that was close to Queen Elizabeth II's heart, ladies in waiting. The Queen Consort is expected to do things differently as part of a move to modernise the monarchy
Camilla may bring an end to a royal tradition that was close to the Queen's heart, an expert has claimed.
Elizabeth II's loyal ladies-in-waiting, who were seen in black frocks and hats paying their final respects during the funeral procession, were not just royal staff but some of her closest companions and friends, having been by her side for decades. Camilla's former secretary, Angela MacManus, filled the role of lady-in-waiting but wasn't officially named.
The tight-knit team were personally chosen by the late Queen to assist her with day to day tasks, from picking outfits and helping her bathe and dress, to putting together her diary of engagements and arranging private family events, according to The Mirror.
