@sapphael: Replying to @remyeibrahim Realizing I didnt actually answer your question. But they could be teens when they started, some were older, there are instances od them being married adult women with households as time went on and it became more fashionable to have so many of them. #medieval #History #royalty #ladies #learnhistoryontiktok
It’s unironically like when Kim K was Paris Hiltons personal assistant

i loved the depiction of ladies in waiting in the game of thrones books so much. margaery is always just chilling, chatting shit, and getting wine drunk with her cousins and random other daughters of her father’s vassals it’s so funny. like girls night but all the time forever

Just a note that Queen Elizabeth II had Ladies in Waiting (Her most famous was named Lady Susan Hussey). Camilla doesn't have any (most likely because she married into the family) but King Charles III does have Lords in waiting including Sir Edward Young. These are unpaid positions.

TBF it wouldn’t be that hard to remember their names since everyone was named Elizabeth, Anne, Mary, or Catherine. You probably had a 1/4 chance of guessing right 😂

What would happen if they got married? Would they still be “working”? If so, would their husbands move to the court, or would they travel?

Ok, this is cool, but the whole seperete households thing has me thinking. If I understand you correctly royal siblings would essentially go most of their lives basically without having anything to do with each other? If that's the case it would explain why some siblings were more than okay with fighting or even killing each other, since by all accounts they were strangers that just so happened to share a parent.

The late Queen Elisabeth also had ladies in waiting, and I think they were unpaid, because if you need money, you're not high born enough. 😄 For a list, see Wikipedia "Woman of the Bedchamber".

I mean they didn't have radio, podcasts, Netflix or TikTok so probably needed different characters to chit chat in the background

you knew their names because they're all named Mary, Anne, Catherine, Elizabeth and Margaret. Just group them up and you only need to remember each group name. 😁

That is, in some ways, lowkey what modern sororities in the US sound like to me as someone from Europe 😅

Honestly, if i had money I'd buy friends too. You get to travel the world with me, all expenses paid with a ridiculously high salary, you have to listen to all of my random facts, my weirdly specific rant about a subject you didn't know existed and you have to back my beefs 100%, no matter tow wrong i am. Jessica knows what she did.
