About: Lord-in-waiting

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Lords-in-waiting (male) or baronesses-in-waiting (female) are peers who hold office in the Royal Household of the sovereign of the United Kingdom. In the official Court Circular they are styled "Lord in Waiting" or "Baroness in Waiting" (without hyphenation). In addition, the honour of serving as a permanent lord-in-waiting is occasionally bestowed on very senior courtiers following their retirement. A permanent lord-in-waiting may also represent the sovereign, as often happens at funerals or memorial services for former courtiers.

dbo:abstract
  • Lord-in-Waiting (weibliche Form: Baroness-in-Waiting) ist ein britischer staatsrechtlicher Begriff, der ein Staats- und Hofamt bezeichnet, das nur an Mitglieder des House of Lords übertragen werden kann. Die Bezeichnung leitet sich ab vom englischen Verb to wait on somebody, d. h. jemanden bedienen/jemandem aufwarten. (de)
  • Les seigneurs en attente (femmes: baronnes en attente ) sont des pairs qui exercent des fonctions dans la Maison royale du souverain du Royaume-Uni . Il existe deux types de seigneurs-en-attente: nominations politiques par le gouvernement du jour qui servent de whips du gouvernement à la Chambre des Lords (les whips supérieurs ont les positions du capitaine du Corps honorable des Gentlemen-armes et le capitaine des Yeomen de la Garde ); et nominations apolitiques par le monarque, comme un honneur pour les courtisans retraités, qui siègent en tant que crossbenchers. En tant que membres de la Maison royale, leurs tâches sont nominales, bien qu’ils soient parfois tenus de rencontrer des responsables politiques et des chefs d’État en visite au Royaume-Uni. Par exemple, le 23 mai 2011, lorsque Barack Obama s'est rendu au Royaume-Uni en provenance d'Irlande un jour plus tôt que prévu, il a été accueilli par le vicomte Brookeborough, qui l'a accueilli, au nom de la reine. En 2014, le vicomte Hood a accueilli le président irlandais Michael D. Higgins au Royaume-Uni . En 2015, le vicomte Hood a de nouveau accueilli le président chinois Xi Jinping en visite d'État au Royaume-Uni . En tant que représentants politiques, le souverain les nomme sur recommandation du Premier ministre. Un certain nombre de seigneurs-en-attente non politiques sont également nommés, ainsi que des seigneurs-en-attente permanents, qui sont généralement des hauts fonctionnaires retraités de la Maison royale. Ceux-ci, étant non politiques, sont à la discrétion personnelle du souverain. Par exemple, Lord Janvrin, qui était jusqu'en 2007 secrétaire particulier de la reine, a été installé à la retraite comme pair à vie à la Chambre des lords et est l'un des seigneurs permanents de Sa Majesté.

  • Lords-in-waiting (male) or baronesses-in-waiting (female) are peers who hold office in the Royal Household of the sovereign of the United Kingdom. In the official Court Circular they are styled "Lord in Waiting" or "Baroness in Waiting" (without hyphenation). There are two kinds of lord-in-waiting: political appointees by the government of the day who serve as junior government whips in the House of Lords (the senior whips have the positions of Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms and Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard); and non-political appointments by the monarch (who, if they have a seat in the House of Lords, sit as crossbenchers). Lords-in-waiting (whether political or non-political) may be called upon periodically to represent the sovereign; for example, one of their number is regularly called upon to greet visiting heads of state on arrival at an airport at the start of a state or official visit, and they may then play a role in accompanying them for the duration of their stay. (For instance, on 3 June 2019 lord-in-waiting Viscount Brookeborough was in attendance at Stansted Airport to welcome U.S. president Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump on behalf of the Queen; he and Viscountess Brookeborough then remained "specially attached" to the Trumps for the duration of their visit.) They are also occasionally in attendance on other state or royal occasions. "Extra" lords-in-waiting may also be appointed, supernumerary to the regular appointees, who fulfil a similar role; for example, the Baroness Rawlings, whose appointment as a government whip (and baroness-in-waiting) ceased in 2012, continued to serve as an extra baroness-in-waiting, and represented the Queen on certain occasions (for example on 27 February 2019 she was present at RAF Northolt to welcome the King and Queen of Jordan, while at the same time another baroness-in-waiting, Baroness Manzoor, was present at Heathrow Airport to welcome the President of Slovenia). In addition, the honour of serving as a permanent lord-in-waiting is occasionally bestowed on very senior courtiers following their retirement. A permanent lord-in-waiting may also represent the sovereign, as often happens at funerals or memorial services for former courtiers. (en)
