Lizzie Yu Der Ling, 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 the ghostwritten author of a number of books and magazine articles with China themes.
