Presumably used here, Greg, to mean neither royal nor noble [nor even titled like a baronet or knight, sometimes referred to erroneously as having been "ennobled"]. Tho indeed, you are right insofar as that, altho Charles's first was a noblewoman, the daughter of an Earl with ∴ courtesy title of her own, Lady+Forename+Surname, his 2nd, present, wife was indeed a commoner.
