Queen Elizabeth's Hairstylist Reveals Royal Trust
6 Oct
Summary
- Hairstylist Ian Carmichael held the Queen's immense trust.
- Carmichael styled the Queen's hair twice weekly for years.
- The Queen was reportedly diagnosed with bone cancer.
Ian Carmichael, the late Queen Elizabeth II's personal hairstylist, revealed the significant trust placed in him by the monarch. Carmichael described his role as an 'intimate job,' noting that few people could touch the Queen in such a normal manner.
Carmichael began styling the Queen's hair in 1998, maintaining her signature silver bob with services including shampooing, perming, and setting. He visited her twice each week for these appointments. In 2017, his dedicated service was recognized with an honor.
Queen Elizabeth II passed away in 2022 at the age of 96, concluding a historic 70-year reign. Prior to her death, it was reported that she had battled bone cancer, a diagnosis she kept private from the public during her lifetime.
Former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson alluded to the Queen's illness in his memoir, stating he had known about her form of bone cancer for over a year. He recounted a visit just two days before her passing, where her private secretary prepared him for her potential decline.
