Lady of the Bedchamber is the title of a lady-in-waiting holding the official position of personal attendant on a British queen regnant or queen consort. The position is traditionally held by the wife of a peer.
In addition to the Women of the Bedchamber, queens (regnant or consort) have Ladies of the Bedchamber (typically wives or widows of peers above the rank of earl ), and a Mistress of the Robes (usually a duchess) who is the senior female member of her household.
Ladies of the Bedchamber were always wives of peers. Only one Lady of the Bedchamber was in waiting at a time and was always ready to attend to the Queen. The Lady-in-Waiting attended all State occasions and presided over the Household table when the Mistress of the Robes was not in residence.
