A former aide shared charming memories ahead of what would have been Queen Elizabeth's 100th birthday.

Angela Kelly, the queen's stylist, disclosed that Elizabeth enjoyed the music of ABBA during her time working for her from 1994 until her passing in 2022.

Every morning, the Queen would listen to the Terry Wogan show on Radio 2, and when the song 'Dancing Queen' played, she loved it and would dance along with Angela.

Angela revealed that the Queen would sing and dance to ABBA's 'Dancing Queen,' creating cherished moments of relaxation for both of them.

Over 28 years working for the monarch, Angela and Queen Elizabeth formed a close bond, with Angela becoming revered and feared within the royal circle, earning the nickname "AK-47" due to her influence.

Angela once suggested to the Queen to show off her good legs, leading to a revamp of her wardrobe with raised hems and candy-colored dresses and hats for better visibility in crowds.

Angela remained by the Queen's side until her passing at 96, dressing her for her final journey and being an honored guest at the state funeral.

Recognized for her service, Angela received various royal honors and reflected on the Queen as her best friend, expressing how much she misses her every day.
