A notification that was published in The Daily Telegraph on July 29 stated that Lady Myra Butter, who had been a close friend of the Queen since the Queen’s infancy, had passed away “peacefully” on July 29. She lived to be 97.

When they were young, the Queen and Lady Myra were fast friends, and that friendship lasted throughout both of their lives. The Queen and Princess Margaret, the Queen’s sister, were in attendance at the wedding of Lady Myra and Major David Butter in 1946.

In an interview with The Telegraph from the previous year, Lady Myra discussed her friendship with the Queen and recalled how the two of them once had swimming lessons together.

She said to the newspaper, “The Queen said it’s a very long time ago,” after viewing an old photo from the bath club.

“The Queen said it’s a very long time ago.” “In any case, it most certainly is, and I was probably 12 at the time. I’ve had a lot of good fortune in that regard. Both of our memories are strong in this regard.”

Buckingham Palace invited a number of young women, including Lady Myra, to participate in a variety of activities alongside the then-Princess Elizabeth.

Lady Myra shared her opinion that “they got hold of some girls to be part of the activity in order to make it more entertaining.” “It was a genuine mix of individuals in the Guides and the Brownies, which was very nice.

There were some friends, friends of [the family], and all of the children of the folks who lived in the royal mews were members of the Brownies and Guides. Really, it’s just your everyday kind of pack.”

Lady Myra, who is also Prince Philip’s cousin, remarked that the Queen has a “quite fine sense of humor, which has gone on for the entirety of her life.”

After saying goodbye to her husband of 73 years in April 2021, Queen Elizabeth also lamented the deaths of two ladies-in-waiting during the end of the previous year. Her late husband, Prince Philip, died in April 2021.

According to The Telegraph, Diana Maxwell, also known as Lady Farnham, who served as the Queen’s lady of the bedchamber for a total of 34 years, passed away on December 29 at the age of 90.

On December 3, another one of the Queen’s ladies-in-waiting, Ann Fortune FitzRoy, the Duchess of Grafton, passed away. Her passing occurred just a few short weeks earlier. Since 1967 until her death in 2001 at the age of 101, the Duchess of Grafton was the monarch’s Mistress of the Robes. She passed away.

In spite of the recent setbacks she has had, the monarch is able to rely on a close-knit group of friends and devoted staffers who are at her disposal.

Dinners and late-night TV watching with her friends are a regular occurrence at her place. She has devoted servants such as her personal assistant Angela Kelly and her footman Paul Whybrew who are always there for her, so she seldom ever has to be alone.

According to our sources, once one enters the so-called “bubble” at the castle, they find themselves in a joyful environment.

PEOPLE Royals was previously informed by a source that: “Those who are already there value their position very highly.

They are someone the Queen can have a good time with and discuss the important issues of the day as well as have a joke with. They are a support system for the Queen.”

According to a reliable source, “whatever her private anguish maybe, she wants to carry on with her life in as upbeat and positive a manner as possible.”
