Despite the new roles, the late Queen Elizabeth's ladies-in-waiting still have positions as they continue to assist the King with special events at Buckingham Palace.
Her late Majesty had a very close bond with her ladies in waiting, known as the 'Head Girls', played a key role in her life and remained a constant throughout her service.
Many become close companions and trusted friends of the monarch. Prior to her death, the Queen's ladies-in-waiting were Dame Mary Morrison, Lady Elizabeth Leeming, Susan Rhodes Dame Annabel Whitehead and Lady Susan Hussey.
