I was looking of a pic in the paper of Queen E greeting Michelle Obama and my coworker was amused that the Queen was carrying her purse inside the palace....

this brought up the discussion what does she carry in that purse anyway?


I said it was her panic alarm... A kind of James Bondian device disguised as a purse that is activated when she sets it down...

Now, she will be carrying her iPod in there.  ;)

wonder if she'll use the supplied earphones or get new ones

She'll probably have to use Royal ones.  They're solid gold encrusted with rubies and emeralds.

My guess as to what she carries:

A leash and collar for her husband
A coin purse with some old pre-war coins
A pocketbook with pictures of the grandkids
An ancient cellphone
Old lady colored lipstick
Random jewels
Spare dentures

my you've put some creative thought into it!

I was bored. :D

Cigarettes and perfume from Paris.

Chocolate from Belgium, because every woman needs chocolate. :)

Cigarettes and perfume from Paris.


She probably has some Moet et Chandon too.

A pack of Marlboros and and ipod with a Motorhead ring tone...and some spam (spam, spam, spam, spam ), and a photo of Soupy Sales doing an imitation of Lucille Ball ...the photo is signed of course.

..and the Sham wow guy's phone number

replacement teeth and wigs, incase she's ever caught in a windstorm

Her scarf to put over her hair in windstorms
a spare pair of white gloves
the latest trashy romance novel
Some pieces of old hard candies that have gathered lint and stuff from the bottom of her purse
Expired coupons for Arbys
signaling device for the aliens to pick her up

you know, the usual  ;)

Maybe she carries a box of Trojans for that "just in case". ;) ;D

A brick.

powder compact
lipstick
parma violets
no money

Her reading glasses ?

The Queen Mother had betting slips in her handbag.

;D

A leash and collar for her husband

She would have newer coins because they have HER portrait on them-though, she may have older ones that have her Daddy's portrait.


What I think she has in her purse is Jimmy Hoffa-that is why she ALWAYS carries it. She doesn't want anyone to discover her secret.

Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run) ~ Billy Ocean

It's not only what's inside the monarch's bags that is significant, but the bag itself, for she uses it to communicate with her staff in a very subtle manner. Before dining with the Queen, a point is made to inform guests that dinner will end in about five minutes after she places her bag on the table top. On walkabouts, she holds the bag to one side to show she intends to move on, at which point a lady-in-waiting joins the conversation, allowing her to slip away without causing offence. When at a banquet, if the Queen's bag is placed on the floor, then it's a sign that she's not finding the conversation interesting, and wants nothing more than to escape. However, if the royal bag is dangling happily from the crook of her left arm, she is happy and relaxed.

The Queen carries a comb, a handkerchief, a small gold compact, and a tube of lipstick in her handbag. The Queen does carry money on Sundays--a folded note of unknown denomination which she discreetly places in the collection plate. (One thing that can always be found in the Queen's handbags is an S-shaped metal meat hook that she places on the dinner table's edge to suspend her bag from so that it doesn't touch the floor. :o)

Also to be found inside is a collection of good luck charms (including miniature dogs, horses, saddles and horsewhips ::))- most of them gifts from her children, reports the Daily Express. Family photos are also present, the most treasured of which is a snap of Prince Andrew, from when he returned from the Falklands in 1982. Other things that the Queen never goes without are her mints, chocolate drops for her beloved corgis and a couple of crosswords, which her servants snip out of the papers for her. Also ever present is the metal make-up case, made by Prince Philip and presented to her as a wedding gift 60 years ago. And if there's still room in the bag she happens to be carrying, the Queen slips in a camera to take snaps to add to her private collection.  And 2 pairs of glasses (she always has a spare).

I found this:

"Her Majesty does use her handbag as a security blanket. She carries it with her throughout the day as she moves from one room of the palace to another. She is rarely photographed without a handbag. All tables and her desk at Buckingham Palace and other royal residences are equipped with special hooks on which the Queen may hang her ubiquitous handbag. Finally, the Queen never uses a shoulder bag or clutch bag as these make shaking hands and accepting flowers awkward.

It's not only what's inside the monarch's bags that is significant, but the bag itself, for she uses it to communicate with her staff in a very subtle manner. Before dining with the Queen, a point is made to inform guests that dinner will end in about five minutes after she places her bag on the table top.

Apparently, he's moved.

Clarence House, the former London residence of the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, is the Prince of Wales' current official residence. Previously, he resided in an apartment at St James's Palace. Charles also holds a private estate in Gloucestershire, Highgrove, and one in Scotland, the Birkhall estate near Balmoral Castle and also previously owned by the Queen Mother.

In 2007, the Prince purchased a 192 acre (150 acres of grazing and parkland, and 40 acres (160,000 m2) of woodland) property in Carmarthenshire, and applied for permission to convert the farm into a Welsh home for him and the Duchess of Cornwall, to be rented out as holiday flats when the royal couple is not in residence. Charles and Camilla took residence at the new property, called Llwynywermod, in June 2008.
