the lord chamberlain
Royal Household of the United Kingdom, organization that provides support to the royal family of the United Kingdom. Its chief duties include assisting the queen in carrying out her responsibilities as head of state, organizing public ceremonies involving the royal family or royal residences, and maintaining and presenting the Royal Collection.
In all the medieval monarchies of western Europe the general system of government sprang from and centred in the royal household. The sovereign’s chief domestics, bearing titles suggestive of purely personal service, gradually became the great administrators of the realm. Thus, in England the lord chancellor was originally merely the head of the king’s writing office. Over time he became, as keeper of the great seal, responsible for the authentication of all major state documents and was, during the later Middle Ages, the principal officer of state. In France this primacy of position was achieved at about the same time by the constable, who, originally the master of the stables, became in due course commander in chief of the army. In modern times members of the Royal Household no longer hold government office but are concerned only with the organization of the various royal establishments and with personal and ceremonial attendance on the sovereign.
