Queens might want to have ladies in waiting because instead of the queen doing something she could ask her ladies in waiting to do it for her.
if they insult the king or queen
Do you mean ladies in waiting to the queens? If so Ann and Mary Boleyn to Queen Kathering of Aragon,Jane Seymour and Jane Rochford to Queen Ann.Queen ELizabethI had different levels of ladings in waiting,such as Lady of the Privy chamber and Maid of Honour.
Unfortunately no. The ladies in waiting were sorta at work, tending to the Queen. It would be rude to have children running around a Monarch's bedroom. Because of their title, they were the queen's favorites...they had the money to afford nannies and teachers...the kids were pretty darn occupied with them.
One of Queen Elizabeth I's ladies in waiting who was reportedly seduced by Sir Walter Ralegh (Raleigh). The ladies in waiting could not marry without the Queen's permission. Sir Walter Ralegh was a favorite of the Queen, so she would not have wanted one of her ladies to marry him. Ralegh was imprisoned in the Tower, where he married Throgmorten (either at the Tower or before).
