Queen Elizabeth's maid of honor, dies at 90 – News – WebMediums

The Queen has lost her second trusted person Diana Maxwel, weeks after the physical loss of her friend, the Duchess of Grafton.

Diana Maxwell, or better known as Lady Farnham, was the Queen's maid of honor from 1987 and ventured with her to her Diamond Jubilee service in 2012. He died at the age of 90, after four days of celebrating Christmas.

He also accompanied the Queen on her imperial visits during her 44 years of attendance, including the triumphant visit to the Republic of Ireland in 2011, due to her Irish associations.

The loss of Maxwell follows that of Ann Fortune FitzRoy, Duchess of Grafton. Last month, the Queen suffered this great blow, from her great friend of 101 years, after the death of Prince Philip, her husband, in April.

Farnham was married to Farnham's twelfth baron, Barry Maxwell, who was a major investor in the city. An Irish citizen who passed away in 2001.

Royal sources told The Telegraph that this news is extremely tragic for the Queen. Everyone liked Lady Farnham, she always cheered everyone up with her good humor. Furthermore, she was an extremely elegant and seductive lady. She was always very sensible around new members of the family.

This weather has not been entirely good for the queen. She suffered first the loss of her husband, then that of the Duchess of Grafton, and now that of Lady Farnham.

Royal Source insisted that, "They were dear friends who supported the queen in her official duties. Unfortunately, a sad consequence of living a long life is that you have to say goodbye to many people you care about."

The Farnham woman was a longtime beloved companion and ally of the Queen, most prominently sitting next to the sovereign during the Diamond Jubilee festivities in 2012, when Prince Philip was unable to participate.

In 1987, it was when the Farnham woman joined the Royal House, more than 30 years after the Duchess of Grafton, and yet she was appointed Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO), in 1998, after the Queen perceived your own help.

Later, she received the award given by the Queen, of being appointed Dame Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, thanks to her services, in 2010.

His death comes after a violent year for the Queen in which he had to battle with the departure of his grandson, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, to the United States and also the death of his partner, Prince Philip.
