The Real Reason The Queen Has An Official Royal Shoe-Wearer

Queen Elizabeth's official royal shoe-wearer, Angela Kelly, who also serves as the queen's official dresser, and has worked for her for over 25 years, is the lucky staff member who gets to break in Her Majesty's shoes. In her book, "The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, The Dresser and The Wardrobe," which honestly sounds like a prequel in "The Chronicles of Narnia" series, Kelly explained the real reason why she is tasked with making sure the queen's shoes are as comfortable as slippers before she even sets foot in them.

"As has been reported a lot in the press, a flunky wears in Her Majesty's shoes to ensure that they are comfortable and that she is always good to go. And yes, I am that flunky," Kelly wrote (via Marie Claire), adding, "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."
