Queen Elizabeth's purse under a magnifying glass
How old is Queen Elizabeth, what happened to Princess Diana’s hair and why does the Queen carry a bag around her house? All these questions have long haunted me after watching the historical series “The Crown” from Netfli.
GettyImages Doesn't matter if she meets Olivia Colman as Elizabeth II in her prime minister's room, walks the palace hallway or watches TV.

Every time we see her handbag on her wrist. What's the secret? The answer is sought by the editorial board "Site".
How old is Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain on April 21 this year, the reigning Queen of Great Britain and the Commonwealth Kingdoms Elizabeth II celebrated her 94th birthday. For most of this long life, the monarch does not appear anywhere without the cherished Launer handbag.
GettyImages The trapezoidal calf leather Traviata is 23x20x10 in size and costs about $2,350. Phil Dampier, who wrote a book titled What's in Elizabeth's Bag and Other Secrets of the Royal Family, believes the Queen has more than 200 Launer bags.
However, Launer CEO Gerald Bodmer questions this: The Queen doesn't have many of our bags, but they're all very good quality. Lately, I have made them even easier to make them more comfortable.”
Dampierre himself most likely did not see the contents of the royal bag. But his reliable sources at Buckingham Palace claim the Queen doesn't carry in her bag like the rest of us, keys, purse and phone. She just doesn't need them.
According to Dampierre, there is room for a dozen items in the purse of Elizabeth II. “Obviously, all these things are not always in the bag. It would cause chaos, the writer warns. So what does Elizabeth carry with her?
Yes, all of the things listed above are very useful. But the question remains, why carry them around the house? We do not have an exact answer, but we can give some noteworthy judgments on this topic.
Buckingham Palace is a complex of buildings, which includes 775 rooms. Imagine that only the Queen decided to rest and read, as it turns out that the glasses remained two floors above. We can, of course, send servants. But is it always convenient?
GettyImages Dampier claims the Queen uses the accessory to serve "secret signs" to her subordinates. For example, if she puts a bag on the table during lunch, then it’s time to end the event. If the bag is on the floor, then the interlocutor has already managed to get bored of the Queen and someone from the maid of honor should help her out.
Gerald Bodner of Launer has an opinion. He believes the Queen is so used to his firm's products that she simply "doesn't feel fully clothed without a handbag." And the fact that Olivia Colman, playing the role of Elizabeth II, for the second season does not let go of her handbag, business only benefits. After the previous season of “The Crown” was watched by more than 70 million people, customers on the website of the company noticeably increased.
One way or another, only Her Majesty the Queen can give an exhaustive answer. And that she has been a recognized style icon for a decade in a row, we have no doubts.

- Little metal makeup that Prince Philip gave the Queen for her wedding.
- Lipstick and mirror. The Queen must always look perfect. "After lunch or dinner, she has a habit of opening her bag, pulling out the compact lipstick and reapplying it," the expert writes.
GettyImages - A pen to be able to sign laws.
- Glasses in case you want to read.
GettyImages - Treaties for her corgis.
- A crossword puzzle cut by one of the assistants to kill time if necessary.
- Mint candy to cope with a sore throat when you need to make a speech.
- Handkerchief.
- Family photos.
- Folding knife. It's hard to say why. Maybe in case of a hunt?
- A small camera.
GettyImages - And the strangest object is an S-shaped metal hook. No, not to be boarded with him. A hook is used to hang a bag (for example, on a table) and not put it on the floor every time.
