    Lady in waiting is something else i think

    he Mistress of the Robes (Danish: hofmesterinde; Norwegian: overhoffmesterinne; Swedish: överhovmästarinna) is the senior lady in the royal households of Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

    but looking at the text at wikipedia it seems there is no in norway at the time

    but in sweden it still exist
    In Sweden, the Mistress of the Robes is the second highest-ranking official of the royal household, preceded only by the Marshal of the Realm. She ranks immediately below the members of the royal family, the speaker of the Parliament and the prime minister, and has precedence over former speakers of the Parliament and former prime ministers. The incumbent is Countess Alice Trolle-Wachtmeister, who has served since 1994.
