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. They are ranked between the Mistress of the Robes and the Women of the Bedchamber; unlike the latter they are not in regular attendance, however they are on duty for the more important public occasions. On overseas visits the Queen has tended to be accompanied by two Ladies-in-waiting, one of whom is usually a Lady of the Bedchamber.

Suo jure is a Latin phrase, used in English to mean 'in his own right' or 'in her own right'. In most nobility-related contexts, it means 'in her own right', since in those situations the phrase is normally used of women; in practice, especially in England, a man rarely derives any style or title from his wife, although this is seen in other countries when a woman is the last heir of her line. It can be used for a male when such male was initially a 'co-lord' with his father or other family member and upon the death of such family member became the sole ruler or holder of the title "in his own right" (Alone).

The Dauphine of France was the wife of the Dauphin of France. The position was analogous to a crown princess.
