The queen seldom had any influence over whom was appointed to her household, but the position of lady-in-waiting did not necessarily force her to spend time with any lady-in-waiting she disliked, and the position gave Mariana Koskull a high income and a legitimate reason to remain at court and live a comfortable life. After the queen and the crown princess were installed, the formal representational court life was revived in Sweden and Mariana Koskoll was no longer an official mistress of the king, and it is noted that she moved out of her grand apartments in the Royal Palace, which illustrated her position as an official mistress, to a more modest one befitting a normal lady-in-waiting.Andreas Anderber:Sköna kvinnor och strategiska män.

After the death of the queen's foster mother and aunt Catherine of Sweden, Countess Palatine of Kleeburg, the Royal Regency Council under Axel Oxenstierna saw a need to appoint a new foster mother to the underage monarch (her mother being exiled), which resulted in a reorganization of the queen's household.

Her staff was regarded to be ill composed and dominated by the King's Court chamberlain Count August zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein. He selected his wife's sister- in-law, Countess Marie Anna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Vallendar, nee Countess von Wiser (1675-1759) as Chief of her Maids of honour, and his mother-in-law the Countess Charlotte Luise of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Vallendar, nee Countess zu Leiningen-Dagsburg-Hardenburg (1652-1713) as Chief Lady-in-waiting, which was regarded a bad choice. According to Pollnitz her Chief Lady in waiting Charlotte Luise "had never left the depths of Wetterau, save to go to the fair of Frankfurt, where she had contracted all the pride of the Imperial Countesses of the Holy Roman Empire, and though she had the best will in the world to act her part, she was far better fitted to figure at Wetzlar (at the Eeichshammergerichte), than at Prussian Court". Also, the Queen's chamberlain Count Kurt Christoph von Schwerin was not regarded to be a suitable adviser.

Count Erik Larsson Sparre was a staunch supporter of Sigismund, and Anna kept a box for his wife Ebba Sparre, sister of her head lady in waiting Margareta Brahe (1559–1638), at Stegeborg, which Duke Charles suspected to contain suspicious documents.
