May she rest in peace. She was one of the Queen's dearest friends as well as a cousin, and I believe she will deeply miss her.

QuoteClose confidant and cousin to Her Majesty, The Honourable Margaret Rhodes has passed away at the age of 91 after a short illness. The lifelong friend of The Queen died on Friday night at her Windsor home.

Margaret Rhodes was The Queen's first cousin and longtime friend. Born just a few months apart from Her Majesty, Mrs Rhodes probably knew the monarch better than anybody else. The Queen and Mrs Rhodes remained best of friends from childhood until her passing. No doubt Buckingham Palace will be a sombre state this morning upon hearing the news.

This is so sad for The Queen after the loss of her mother and sister this has to be a terrible blow for her as there are few people who can ever be so close to her. RIP Margaret Rhodes

Yes it is sad considering that Margaret died quite awhile  ago now so QEII has few family or friends who were  members of her generation left.

Who will the Queen turn to now Margaret Rhodes has gone?

The Queen will attend the funeral of her beloved cousin and confidante Margaret Rhodes at Windsor on Monday. Although she rarely goes to such events, she will lead mourners at the Royal Chapel at 3pm as a mark of respect for The Honourable Mrs Rhodes, who died last week aged 91.
