"mistress" Despite its pronunciation, the abbreviation Mrs. is derived from the title mistress, which accounts for that confusing extra letter. Mistress is the counterpart of master, which—you guessed it—is abbreviated to Mr. (Of course, English speakers now pronounce the title Mr. as “mister.”)

Labelling the king's ladyfriends mistresses way back may be quite OK, but I doubt the persons living together today would think that is the right way of labelling the women in those relationships.

Many mistresses, some in succession, were the titular Queens of many realms, duchies, etc.! And, before your time, "Mistress" was the common polite address for a lady!

To tag the female partner as a Mistress gives the partnership a feeling of something illegal to be spoken about in hushed tones. In my younger days a mistress was " a bit on the side."
