Household of George VI and Elizabeth

The households of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (known, after the death of her husband, as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother) were made up of office-holders and staff supporting their work.

The future George VI (1895–1952) was the second son of George V. He was created Duke of York in 1920 and married Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (1900–2002) in 1923. The Duke succeeded to the throne following the abdication of his brother King Edward VIII (whose reign had lasted just under a year). As King, George VI inherited his a sovereign's Household from his brother; when the new Household was announced in March 1937,[1] many of the office-holders were the same as had been appointed to the Household of Edward VIII seven months earlier.[2]

As Queen, Elizabeth maintained her own Household (as was then traditional for a consort). Her Household was announced in 1937, initially consisting of a Mistress of the Robes, four Ladies of the Bedchamber, four Women of the Bedchamber (plus one 'extra'), her own Lord Chamberlain and a Treasurer.[3] After the death of her husband in 1952, her Household was known as the Household of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
