The gift of Victoria Bruce in memory of her sister, Jean Bruce, who served for twenty three years as Lady-in-Waiting to Queen Mary, at Buckingham Palace.

A lady-in-waiting or Court Lady is a female personal assistant at a court, royal or feudal, attending on a queen, either if she is the queen regent or the queen consort, a princess, or a high ranking noblewoman. Historically, in Europe, a lady-in-waiting was often a noblewoman from a family in " good society ", but who was of lower rank than the woman on whom she attended. Although she may or may not have received compensation for the service she rendered, a lady-in-waiting was considered more of a companion to her mistress than a servant.
