It's a title, like "earl", or "count".
It's used for minor royals.

As a title of nobility the uses of "Lady" are mainly paralleled by those of "Lord". It is thus a less formal alternative to the full title giving the specific rank, of marchioness, countess, viscountess or baroness, whether as the title of the husbands rank by right or courtesy, or as the lady's title in her own right. A widow becomes, e.g. The Dowager Lady Smith

the term lady is used to refer to someone who is upper class in say england. she does not have to have a title. if her husband or father has a title, for instance, if her father is an earl, she does not have her own title but she is called Lady anyway. it shows that she is from an aristocratic household. it is a term of respect.

She is the equivalent of a Lord, or the wife of a Lord, and a member of the peerage.
