to wonder what exactly is in the Queen's handbag?

[BarkisIsWilling]

Or should I just mind my own?

[CMOTdibbler]

iPhone, hip flask and mints ?

[Rockbird]

Lippy and a packet of polos.

[LouIsWaltzingMatilda]

Apparantly she carries a comb, a mirror, some lippy and a special hook that she can hook her bag onto the table.
Her ladies in waiting carry all the crap that normal women have in their bags.
I can't really see the QUeen rifling through her bag looking for her phone before the person calling hangs up!

[BarkisIsWilling]

Some recent pictures www.rexfeatures.com/set/1200400 got me musing.

[nymphadora]

Boiled sweets & tissues. Thats what all Grandmas have

[BarkisIsWilling]

A comb? For those carefree hatless and crownless visits?

[AgentZigzag]

Ripped up betting slips?

DD1 said this morning she thought it was weird to think the queen goes to the loo like normal people

[Psammead]

I think she has lippy, mirror and tissues. I am sure I heard that once.

[Snobear4000]

Forty million quid.

[WitchyWooWoo]

a packed of fags, 4 lighters, half a packet of chewits, her phone in a hello kitty phone holder, 2 hairbrushes, an alarm she presses if she thinks Phillip is going to speak in public, and a little black book of people first to die when she becomes a robot as soon as the technology is available

well in my head anyway

[ChickensHaveNoEyebrows]

A packet of fags and some doggy biscuits. Maybe some thrush cream

[DaisySteiner]

A brick.

[saggyjuju]

def a 'murray mint'

[SagacityNell]

I love the thought of a Phillip alarm Just to give him a minor electric shock if he so much as opens his mouth?

Why does she carry a bag anyway if all the ladies in waiting carry all her "stuff"? (what are they waiting for btw?)

Or maybe she really does have a diary, a couple of pens, some paracetamol, make up and a pack of 10 B&H

[tutusare4]

I have insider information here, and happen to know that she carries spare gloves.

Shaking hands with sweaty folk makes them a bit mingy you know

[MrsBadger]

dog chews for the corgis
iPad

her wax jacket pockets have poop-scooping bags, polos and pony nuts

[piratecat]

nintendo ds

[BarkisIsWilling]

Sagacity Nell, so do I! The difference is that I imagined the alarm as emitting some horrible car alarm whine pitched so that only he could hear it.

[PollyTechnique]

spare tiara

[SagacityNell]

lol @ iPad and DS

Can you imagine her being "papped" playing Angry Birds or Professor Layton

[TheMysticMasseuse]

I have ALWAYS wondered this. Breathlessly waiting to be enlightened, but spare gloves makes total sense. Oh and the key to the kingdom, non?

[Sidge]

Tena Lady, lavender perfume, a hankie and some Pro Plus.

[MayorNaze]

i think:

spare gloves
a hanky (not tissues, how common
lipstick
mints in a little posh tin
dog biscuits
a small notebook and pencil to make secret, royal observations

[SagacityNell]

like this MysticMasseuse?
