The late Queen's former dresser and right hand woman is said to have been caught in a row with other Palace staff, according to reports.
The fashion designer is understood to have become so close to Her Majesty that she was handpicked as part of a small team of loyal attendants who stayed with her and Prince Philip at Windsor Castle during lockdown, the Mirror reports.

Meghan was told she could choose between five diamond and gem-encrusted tiaras and after making her decision, she requested to practice wearing it ahead of the big day.
However, Harry revealed in his memoir Spare that Kelly ignored their messages about having access to the chosen
