The double of Queen Elizabeth of England announces her retirement after 34 years

The double of Queen Elizabeth II, Mary Reynolds, who is now 89 years old, has announced her retirement “out of respect” for the monarch, although she will keep the suits in memory of a woman who is seven “as part of the family.” Reynolds lives in Epping, Essex, and began doing double for the queen in 1988 because of her strong resemblance, which she had been told about when she was 17. She has appeared on television and in movies such as ‘Heist with Armed Skirt’, starring Roger Moore. She also appeared in an episode of the series ‘Doctor Who’ aired in 1988. “It has been a huge privilege to look like her because I think she is fascinating,” Reynolds told The Press Association. “We are facing a change of era. Now everything is going to be strange”, she has pointed out. Reynolds has reported that she has two boxes full of different hats and closets, the one with her usual clothes and the one with the clothes to interpret Isabel II. “I will not need them anymore (…). It makes you feel sad,” she explained.
