The Truth About The Queen's Relationship With Lady Anne Glenconner

Queen Elizabeth II has a pretty active social life for a 95-year-old. When she's not busy with royal duties, she spends a lot of time with her corgis. Before her day gets going, she savors Cornflakes or Special K cereal topped with dried fruit, according to the Crown Chronicles.

Although she has a busy schedule, she always has 4 pm tea and counts her cousin, Princess Alexandra, as one of her best friends, who is right by her side for events. As body language expert Judi James told Express, "When the pair are caught deep in conversation it is often Alexandra using the animated gestures while the Queen listens with apparent fascination."

Elizabeth wasn't the only royal with this kind of special relationship. There is also Lady Anne Glenconner, who was the best friend of Princess Margaret, the queen's sister. Anne discussed what it was like growing up with the royals in her autobiography, "Lady in Waiting: My Extraordinary Life in the Shadow of The Crown." "Princess Margaret was such fun, quite naughty and she and I got on so well," Anne told Australian Women's Weekly. "Occasionally I heard the Queen [as she became] saying, 'What are you doing?'"

Anne might have been closer to Margaret, but what does she think about the queen? Keep reading for more details.

Lady Anne Glenconner served as one of the queen's maids of honor at her wedding to Prince Philip in 1947, according to News.com.au. Anne was also one of Queen Elizabeth's attendants at her Coronation in 1953, according to Fox News. According to The Guardian, when Princess Margaret died in February 2002, the queen thanked her "for providing her sister with many of the happiest moments in her life."

Anne reportedly introduced Margaret to Roddy Llewellyn, and the pair allegedly had an affair, per CheatSheet. Anne reportedly felt guilty and wasn't sure what the queen would think of her. In the documentary "Elizabeth: Our Queen," Anne revealed what the queen said to her. "It was difficult for the queen and I felt rather guilty always having introduced Roddy to Princess Margaret," she said. "But after Princess Margaret's funeral, the queen, she said, 'I'd just like to say Anne, it was rather difficult at moments, but I thank you so much [for] introducing Princess Margaret to Roddy 'cause he made her really happy.'"

Although the queen has not said much about her relationship with Anne, it's clear both women had a lot of respect for each other.
