Tissues, a lipstick, maybe mints. Good question.

That's funny Pawprint.
The Queen was here in our city last week (was in Canada for about a week). I was thinking the exact same thing.
She was dressed impeccably as always, always wore gloves, even in the sweltering heat, and always carried her little handbag. Even touring RIM; the makers of the Blackberry, she wore a white lab coat, her hat and carried her purse.

WHAT would she need that her staff wouldn't have, or buy for her.

You never know, maybe an iPod and a pack of cigarettes? Just kidding.

I'll guess she carries the keys to the castle, cell phone, a hankie, and a lovely leather wallet with her ID. Can you imagine asking the Queen of England for ID?

Maybe cause it is ladylike to carry a purse :o)

Maybe she is packin heat....

Maybe some sort of medication as well.

I think she feels it is part of the ensemble, and wouldn't feel "dressed" without it.

Probably her Blackberry...................

Maybe she has a spare vuvuzela in her purse?

{{!gwi}}

Why the keys to the castle, of course!

Depends

Hahahah,,get it???ahhhhh..:)

I've heard that she changes gloves often, like after any hand shaking, so maybe a few extra gloves.

Most likely a handkerchief. But extra gloves,,,nah...she has a "lady in waiting" to provide extra/new gloves. I am always looking for a handkerchief.

Purell. BlackBerry. Nintendo DS. Some peanut butter crackers or Skittles.

I'd SO like to see a photo of her puffing away in the ladies' room. I think she might be the unfiltered type, no?

Funny stuff!......
a taser...? or a billy club...? ninja stars for throwing...?

lol

I d'know about the purse, but I'd kill for my own copy of that hat!!!!

-J

A flask lol

The Crown Jewels?

As anyone who reads Majesty magazine knows, the Queen carries a comb, a handkerchief, a small gold compact, and a tube of lipstick in her handbag. However, you were somewhat misled by Buckingham Palace. The Queen does carry money on Sundays--a folded note of unknown denomination which she discreetly places in the collection plate.

c/p'd from a Google. :)

I think she should put that ugly hat in it! Vique.

My guess would have been just what Chloecat found by googling. She may be the Queen of England, but she's still a lady and most ladies carry pretty much the same basics in their purses, no matter who they are.

That purse seems large for just a comb, a handkerchief, a small gold compact, and a tube of lipstick. I would also carry a Blackberry or cell phone, notes (people she will be meeting, their interests for small talk, etc.), a day planner in case I want to figure out where I am and where I'm heading. Passport. Ricola cough drops.

pictures of her grandkids!

I like her hats!

I'm guessin' she's packing a gun.
A queen should automatically be given a concealed weapons permit, shouldn't she?

Or it has a little package of kleenex, some altoids and perhaps a cellphone?

Condoms? Most anything like keys, cellphone or something would be carried by assistants always in her entourage who would plan her day and tell her what she's doing next. When's the last time she opened a door for herself or dialed a phone? She'd likely only carry personal needs. My guess was she'd have a snotrag or two, eyeglasses (she wears glasses, but not usually in public) and similar. Probably some battery powered toys to amuse herself occasionally...
