  • The Viceregal Consort is the spouse of the sitting Governor General of Canada, and, if female, may also be referred to as Chatelaine of Rideau Hall, the Governor General's residence in Ottawa. The Viceregal Consort is third in the Canadian order of precedence, after the the Governor General and the Canadian monarch, and is addressed as His or Her Excellency while their spouse is in office. On one occasion, the title of Chatelaine of Rideau Hall has been held by someone who was not the spouse of the Governor General – as Vincent Massey was a widower, his daughter-in-law, Lilias Massey, held the title and performed the official duties of the Chatelaine. Unlike a Viceregal Consort, however, Lilias Massey was not addressed as Her Excellency.
