Princess Der Ling

Lizzie Yu Der Ling (Chinese: 裕德齡; pinyin: Yù Délíng; Wade–Giles: Yü Tê-ling; 8 June 1881 – 22 November 1944), better known as "Princess" Der Ling, and also known as Elisabeth Antoinette White after her marriage to Thaddeus C. White, was the first lady-in-waiting for Empress Dowager Cixi. Her father was the Chinese diplomat Yü Keng; and her mother was Louisa Pierson, who was herself the half-Chinese daughter of a Boston merchant working in Shanghai. Although not a member of the Qing royal family, Der Ling was given the title of "commandery princess" while serving as the lady-in-waiting for Empress Cixi. She was a writer of several memoirs, books, and magazine articles. (From Wikipedia)
