{{Short description|Position in the British Royal Household}} [[File:William Orpen Charles Robert 6th Earl Spencer.jpg|thumb|right|[[Charles Spencer, 6th Earl Spencer]]; Vice-Chamberlain of the Household 1892–1895]] The '''Vice-Chamberlain of the Household''' is a member of the [[Royal Household of the United Kingdom|Royal Household]] of the [[Monarchy of the United Kingdom|Sovereign]] of the [[United Kingdom]]. The officeholder is usually a senior government [[Whip (politics)|whip]] in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|British House of Commons]] ranking third or fourth after the [[Chief Whip]] and the Deputy Chief Whip. The Vice-Chamberlain is the Deputy to the [[Lord Chamberlain]] of the Household and, like the Lord Chamberlain, carries a [[Staff of office#White Staves|white staff of office]] when on duty on state occasions.
The Vice-Chamberlain's main roles are to compile a daily private report to the Sovereign on proceedings in the House of Commons and to relay addresses from the Commons to the Sovereign and back. As a member of the Royal Household, the Vice-Chamberlain accompanies the Sovereign and Royal Household at certain diplomatic and social events, particularly the annual garden party at [[Buckingham Palace]]. When the Sovereign goes in procession to the [[Palace of Westminster]] for the [[State Opening of Parliament]], the Vice-Chamberlain stays and is "held captive" at [[Buckingham Palace]]. This custom began with the [[Stuart Restoration]] (1660), because of the previous parliament's role in the beheading of [[Charles I of England|Charles I]].<ref name=PoliticoFeb22/> During their captivity the Vice-Chamberlain is offered a choice of [[champagne]], [[sherry]] or [[tea]] to drink along with other light refreshments by the Lord Chamberlain as they watch the [[State Opening of Parliament|speech]] on television.<ref name=PoliticoFeb22/><ref>[https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/local-mp-held-hostage-by-king-during-ceremony/ar-AA23b823?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=6a05cac95d3640fabf18e153f64d521c&ei=30 Local MP 'held hostage' by King during ceremony]</ref>
During the latter part of her reign, the Vice-Chamberlain sent a daily email to [[Elizabeth II]].<ref name=PoliticoFeb22>{{cite news|url=https://www.politico.eu/article/how-queen-elizabeth-gets-her-own-london-playbook-political-gossip/|title=Queen Elizabeth is hooked on political gossip|date=5 February 2022|author=Annabelle Dickson|work=[[Politico (magazine)|Politico]]|accessdate=24 February 2022}}</ref> The Queen was regarded as well informed about British political affairs as she typically read daily newspapers and was a listener of the ''[[Today (BBC Radio 4)|Today]]'' programme on [[BBC Radio 4]].<ref name=PoliticoFeb22/> The late queen's private secretary told [[Andrew MacKay (British politician)|Andrew MacKay]], who held the post in 1996, to include more "gossip and the inside track" as his initial efforts had been "rather stilted". MacKay turned his efforts into a "who's up, who's down" for the queen.<ref name=PoliticoFeb22/> [[Anne Milton]], who held the post in 2014 and 2015, looked for things that "might amuse" the queen and to "give a bit of colour" to the proceedings in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]].<ref name=PoliticoFeb22/> The Queen reportedly told [[Jim Fitzpatrick (politician)|Jim Fitzpatrick]], who held the post of Vice-Chamberlain between 2003 and 2005 to send her news which "doesn't make the press" and that he felt encouraged to be "frank and transparent" with her due to the privacy of their communications.<ref name=PoliticoFeb22/> Emails began to be sent to the Queen at Buckingham Palace in 2014; the dispatches had previously been collected by a messenger.<ref name=PoliticoFeb22/>
Notable holders of the office include Sir [[George Carteret]], [[John Hervey, 2nd Baron Hervey|Lord Hervey]], the [[William Stanhope, 1st Earl of Harrington|Earl of Harrington]], the [[Charles Spencer, 6th Earl Spencer|Earl Spencer]], [[Michael Stewart, Baron Stewart of Fulham|Michael Stewart]] and [[Bernard Weatherill]].
