Angela Kelly has ‘formidable weapon’ to publish third book amid King Charles’s NDA

The former right-hand woman to Queen Elizabeth, Angela Kelly, will still be able to publish her third book about the royal family despite reports of her signing a secret agreement with King Charles.

Earlier reports claimed that the monarch had asked Kelly, who already published two books about her life in royal circles, had been asked to sign a NDA effectively preventing her from revealing any further secrets from within The Firm.

According to DailyMail, a well-placed source in the palace revealed that the words ‘King’ and ‘Palace’ cannot be allowed for commercial gain under the terms and conditions.

Kelly had reportedly signed the agreement with Charles in exchange for a grace-and-favour home, which is believed to be near the Peak District.

The agreement was brought up after the newly crowned king s showed concerns over Kelly’s updated version of her second book, The Other Side Of The Coin: The Queen, The Dresser And The Wardrobe, disclosed details deemed too intimate for public knowledge.

However, sources revealed to Mail on Sunday that Kelly has a ‘formidable weapon’ in the form of a written go-ahead from the late Queen, which will allow her to continue with her venture.

“It’s certainly a formidable weapon in her arsenal to have a letter like that from Queen Elizabeth II in her possession,” the insider told the outlet.

“It’s quite something because it seems she is protecting her favoured assistant from beyond the grave. It is pretty important because it includes the Queen’s wishes, and no one would want to ignore those.”
