equerry
Monarch's horse keeper
An equerry is an officer in a royal household responsible for attending to members of the royal family, particularly on official engagements.
The role originated with officers who supervised the horses of nobility—the word shares roots with words for horse and stable.
Modern equerries serve as personal assistants and aides-de-camp: The queen's equerry accompanied her to the ceremony.
