Difference between Lady's companion and Lady-in-waiting

Lady's companion vs. Lady-in-waiting

A lady's companion was a woman of genteel birth who lived with a woman of rank or wealth as retainer. A lady-in-waiting (alternatively written lady in waiting) or court lady is a female personal assistant at a court, attending on a royal woman or a high-ranking noblewoman.

A chaperone (also spelled chaperon) in its original social usage was a person who for propriety's sake accompanied an unmarried girl in public; usually she was an older married woman, and most commonly the girl's own mother.
