Surgeon-Gynecologist

Although this isn’t the most outlandish of positions the Queen has under her, it would be awfully cool (and convenient) to have a doctor on call at all times. Currently, this position has been held by Dr. Alan Farthing since 2008, and before that, it was Marcus Setchell.
Strewer of Herbs

People are stinky. People who don’t bathe and wear the same clothes over and over again are doubly stinky. The role of the Strewer of Herbs was to put pleasant smelling flowers and herbs throughout the royal living areas to decrease the BO smell as well as the smell of the River Thames (which before sewers came into action, had been dirty and stinky). This position was traditionally held by a woman from the time it began in the late 1600s until Queen Victoria’s time.
