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

[BarkisIsWilling]

Or should I just mind my own?

iPhone, hip flask and mints ?

Lippy and a packet of polos.

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!

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

Boiled sweets & tissues. Thats what all Grandmas have

A comb? For those carefree hatless and crownless visits?

Ripped up betting slips?

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

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

Forty million quid.

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

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

A brick.

def a 'murray mint'

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

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

dog chews for the corgis
iPad

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

nintendo ds

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.

spare tiara

lol @ iPad and DS

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

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

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

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
