Viceregal consort of Canada

The Viceregal consort is the spouse of the Governor General of Canada. He or she is styled His Excellency or Her Excellency while his or her spouse is in office. A female viceregal consort is also styled Chatelaine of Rideau Hall.

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 held the title and performed the official duties of the Chatelaine. Unlike a viceregal consort who is the Governor General's spouse, however, Lilias Massey was not styled as Her Excellency.
