EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Late Queen's 'Samantha the Panther' who also worked for Meghan Markle reveals how she won her fearsome reputation


Samantha Cohen is in the almost unique position of having worked in intimate proximity to both Queen Elizabeth, whom she remembers and reveres, and Meghan Markle.

'The name came about when I was in a junior position at Buckingham Palace and overseeing an event with high-profile celebrities,' recalls Cohen, who is now chief of staff at mining company Rio Tinto. Tamara Mellon, creator of Jimmy Choo shoes, Heather Mills — at the time, married to Sir Paul McCartney — and Jemima Goldsmith all made the cut. Though refraining from public comment, fashion designer Victoria was said to have been 'deeply disappointed' not to have been recognised for her work for the NSPCC, Comic Relief and the Meningitis Research Foundation.
