Angie Mead: A king and a queen

The media and social media were recently abuzz when Victoria Court group of companies’ scion, sports car enthusiast, adrenaline junkie and husband of TV host and model Joey Mead King, Ian Angelo King came out donning purple locks, women’s clothes and manicured nails.

Ian King came out as a transgender woman last week. And the world was introduced to her other self, Angelina “Angie” Mead King.

People who know Ian but don’t know Angie were understandably shocked upon seeing the masculine man who loves cars turn into a lovely lady with an enviable collection of high-heeled shoes—she still loves cars, though.

But Angie was always there. In fact, on her Instagram account @hailtothe_queen_, which was a private page recently set to public, the first post was a photo of her hands with a woman’s ring and manicured tips posted more than three years ago.

The said photo was followed by a couple more of Angie wearing dresses, Angie sporting wingtip eyeliner, and Angie buying shoes, among a couple more others. And beside and behind her is wife Joey, that’s why her name Angie Mead King or Angie Mead serves as a tribute to her ever supportive partner. 

In her exclusive tell-all interview with events host and friend Tim Yap, Angie revealed that ever since she was a kid she has always been interested in women’s clothes—trying them on and liking the sensation she felt. She would sneak in the maid’s room and borrow their stuff, she related.

Angie was kept as a secret as Ian pursued his other interests in public, but to the people close to her heart, Angie lives and thrives.

Joey knew a few months into their relationship that Angie liked wearing women’s underwear. But despite of the rather unconventional set-up and struggles they had to go through alone and together, the two remain on each other’s side—until, and especially, today—as they love one another unconditionally and fight conventionality.

Angie’s family also knew of her existence. She said her late dad Archie King had a hard time accepting it in the beginning but was supportive in the end. Her mom and step mom are also behind her back since she came out to them and her friends are in full support to her and Joey.

In this day and age where homophobia is, sadly, alive and well, Angie, who is known as an alpha male, admitted having a hard time coming out to the public. But throwing caution to the wind was worth it as, since the outing, Angie and Joey received an overwhelming adoration and support from those who know them and random people who heard their story.

At the end of the day, Angie remains the king who is fascinated with sports cars, loves sports, and adores her wife; and the queen who sports lovely dresses and stunning shoes, and is courageous enough to set herself free and be who she wanted to be.
