The biography Finding Freedom reveals detailed secrets of the underground club that contained the Queen’s beautiful tiaras, necklaces and brooches.
It tells exactly how Meghan and Harry were taken to the room where Meghan was choosing which tiara to borrow for her wedding.
One passage says: ‘The couple … arrived at the reception area at Buckingham Palace, where they were then escorted in a secure lift, 40 feet below the palace, to the great club, where five tiaras had been assembled beforehand. to the appointment of the couple in February 2018. ”
By giving the dimensions of the safe and how each piece of jewelry is stored, the chapter says, ‘Each tiara is stored in its own safe in the safe, a basement space approximately 150 feet long that is divided into sections.
‘The great space – the greatness, the proof of the extent of Her Majesty’s collection of hundreds of tiaras, brooches and necklaces, earrings and other jewelery – is not sparse or cold, like the safe of the bank.
“Instead, it’s well lit, like a showroom.”
The biography of Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand is likely to be sanctioned by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The couple has refused to cooperate.
But the sheer depth of detail has led angry jurors to conclude that only Harry and Meghan could have leaked such important security secrets.
The authors, who have received unusual collaboration from sources close to Meghan and Harry, revealed that the larger jewelry items have been broken up, with their parts stored in separate pouches by Crown Jeweler Mark Appleby.
She tells how Angela Kelly, the senior dresser and jewelry curator of the Queen tiaras and her matching earrings, bracelets and necklaces have been fitted with pink fabric-covered trays, each with a lace-trimmed cover.
One mayor said: “The only three people in the room were Angela Kelly and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
“There are people who have worked in the palace for decades who have no clue about this safe. Well, it seems, everyone knows. ”
Society magazine Town and Country posted details of the security gift on its website within hours of publishing the biography – and the social media world was immediately taken aback.
Many courtiers believe the revelation was a deliberate move to strike back at Mrs. Kelly, 62.
It is said that they collided with Harry and Meghan when they thought the aide had hit them.
But one courtier said: “The Queen’s relationship with Angela Kelly is incredibly strong. Revelations like these will not harm the power of that bond. ”
Since 2002, Ms Kelly has been officially known as Personal Assistant, Advisor and Curator to Her Majesty the Queen. Her role includes planning the monarch’s attire for royal visits.
Ms Kelly’s achievements include making a replica of the royal dress commissioned by Queen Victoria for the baptism of her first child Victoria, the Princess Royal, after it was originally retired in 2004.
She also designed and matched the 1960s Queens Norman Hartnell dress for Princess Beatrice to wear at her wedding in July.
