Page of the Backstairs

The Page of the Backstairs is a head position within the Royal Households of the United Kingdom and is part of several groups of pages overseeing the male staff.

[1] Originally "page of the backstairs" was used to describe a page of the bedchamber.

During the reign of Queen Anne the page of the bedchamber was awarded by warrants of appointment.

From 1760 the term describes a specific group of pages completely different to the pages of the bedchamber.

[2] Paul Whybrew served as Page of the Backstairs to Elizabeth II for several years until her death in 2022,[3] while William Tallon held the position in the Household of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
