It’s been 19 years since the 94-year-old Monarch lost her mother. But the amazing advice given to the Queen (then Princess Elizabeth) by the Queen Mother, has been revealed by a former lady-in-waiting.
Prudence, Lady Penn has revealed that the young Princess Elizabeth was often very shy, and struggled in social situations, finding it difficult to assert herself.
Though it seems strange now, considering how gracefully The Queen manages the thousands of duties and visits she must perform as monarch, she only became destined for the throne aged 10, after the sudden abdication of her uncle, Edward VIII.

The Queen Mother told the Queen when she was very young to be brave.
"I think the Queen probably when she was young, felt walking into a room full of people was rather daunting.
"So she said to her, 'What you want to do, when you walk into a room, walk through the middle of the door.'"
Explaining the significance of The Queen Mother's advice, Lady Penn continued, "And I think by that she meant, don't sort of go in apologetically. You walk through as if I'm in charge. I think that was very good advice."
