Less than a handful of people can walk straight off the street and into The Queen’s private residences without having to show a Royal Household pass, if you are not yourself royal, that is!
Ladies-in-Waiting to Queen Elizabeth II are, as one would expect, notable and noblewomen. Each of The Queen’s Ladies are styled as a “Woman of the Bedchamber” – Her Majesty has several, including Baroness Hussey, Lady Elton, and the Honourable Dame Mary Morrison (known in royal circles as Mossy). Historically, their duties were to attend a Queen Regnant or Queen Consort to help her bathe, dress, and undress. Today, the role mainly consists of running private errands and answering certain private correspondence on behalf of The Queen. They are also in-attendance when The Queen is carrying out official engagements and can be seen collecting flowers from well-wishers two steps behind Her Majesty.
