The position of lady-in-waiting has been scrapped at Buckingham Palace, bringing to an end a centuries-old tradition.
Combining the roles of companion, adviser and secretary, ladies-in-waiting played a key part in Royal life, accompanying the late Queen and her sister Princess Margaret on official duties and foreign tours.
But in a sign of the new Queen Consort Camilla’s unfussy approach, they will be replaced by six aides styled ‘Queen’s Companions’.

Unfussy = sloppy lazy?
Still wondering just who it was who told that pap in France exactly where and when to be to get those topless pics of Kate in 2012...
And why do Il Tampaccino and his side chick have separate domiciles?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Gin soaked.
What is the point of having royalty and traditions, if you do away with the traditions?
I’m confused. There were previously 3 Ladies in Waiting.
Now there are six aides “Queen’s Companions,” and the 3 former Ladies in Waiting still work in the royal household and are now known as “Ladies of the Household.”
So there where previously 3 people, now there are 9, and that’s considered “unfussy.”
I was wondering the same thing. What’s next...scrap the King? Bulldoze Buckingham Palace and build condos? Turn the Tower of London into an amusement park? Raffle the Crown Jewels to buy carbon credits?
Camilla looks like she just crawled out of a crypt. She reminds me of Jill Biden. Two peas in a pod.
Seeing mixed comments about Duke of Edinburgh decision to give it to charlotte.
Has to hack of Edward who made a decision based on the promise it would be his.
You can now get prince Harry’s book and him reading it for free from amazon
How brave. Real reform.
I suppose for woke non-binary reasons? Heck, with this title either sex can be a “companion”.
“either sex”? How old fashioned. How many are there now days?
Seems like you might possibly be reading the Enquirer or Weekly World News. I only recognize this because I am guilty of it when the wife drags one home from the store. Sometimes they’re not wrong.
Well after all, Michelle Obama had what? 26 personal attendees or,whatever they are called?
Yea, and the Moochelle O had something like 20+ attendants/staffers/minions on gubment payroll.
Ok, that's funny.
Replacing one with six does not sound like unfussy to me.
One's a pallid thing with poor teeth. The other's a horse.
