*Referring to Lady Helena Ravenclaw from J.K Rowling's Harry Potter*
This happens when someone (Often an offspring/friend/spouse/partner of someone famous) gets overshadowed by well... Someone famous (Like how Helena Ravenclaw was being constantly compared and overshadowed to her mother, Rowena Ravenclaw.). It results on the former being constantly compared to, bullied, underestimated or outright discriminated by clueless people based on the latter (The Famous Person), causing mental strain and low self-esteem.
To famous people who have ordinary children/friends/spouses/partners, please never give the Grey Lady effect to them. It sucks. Real bad.

Severus, son of a celebrity dad: I hate my dad. I love acting, but being constantly compared to my dad's achievements kills me.
Dyl: That's the Grey Lady effect for you.
Phyl: That sucks. Being a shadow to your dad.
Severus: I don't like it. I love my dad, but I hate the people treating me like shit because of his fame. I wish I can just be me.

Get the Lady of the Larchmug. Drag Race TV5 first runner-up and one of MPG DELUXE's most talked-about, problematic popsters (main popgirls stanposting).
Her Ariana Grande make-up transition, like her nose contour, became meme material and made her more famous.
Among all the kweens, she's the most problematic and stupid of them all. Instead of exploiting the situation by promoting herself and using it for popularity like Kween Gaia, Leng-Leng, Doja Kakai, and Yasmine. She takes the satire posting seriously and remains the most pressed popstar.
Lady Gagita has dethroned Deigo Abonto as this week's MPG DELUXE HOT TOPIC.
