In the Royal Household of the United Kingdom the term Lady-in-Waiting is used to describe a woman attending a female member of the Royal Family other than the Queen Regnant or Queen Consort. An attendant upon one of the latter is styled Lady of the Bedchamber or Woman of the Bedchamber, and the senior Lady in Waiting is the Mistress of the Robes. The Women are in regular attendance, but the Mistress of the Robes and the Ladies of the Bedchamber are normally only required for ceremonial occasions. There were formerly other offices, including Maids of Honour.

Depends.
Each lady in waiting has a set role.
They all respond to the queens correspondence and she certainly gets a lot daily.

Last time I was down the pub with " Our Liz" we just told her lady in waiting to fetch the drinks etc and off she went! It was great! Although she spilt my 1/2 of mild all over Lizzy's gown. Easy mistake I said but Liz was having none of it. I believe the poor dear is now in the tower. Ho hum thats royalty for ya.

She is the Queen's servant, attending to the Queen and advising her on issues such as etiquette and fashion.

Hangs about. Queues up. Waits for a tip.

Runs the taps in the bathroom when the Queen goes for a wee-wee amongst other things.
