A reigning queen, such as Queen Elizabeth II, is officially termed “queen regnant.”

The following persons are privileged from arrest, viz., 1st, members of the royal family and the ordinary servants of the king or queen regnant, chaplains, lords of the bedchamber, &c.

In the case of a queen regnant these posts are occupied by ladies, called Ladies of the Bed-chamber.
