    Looking at the pictures of the queen carrying a handbag whilst watching the pudding stirring, I read that nobody knows what the bag contains.
    I began to speculate, and this is what I came up with:

    A monogrammed hankie

    A packet of polos

    Doggie treats and sugar cubes

    20 Woodbine

    Lipstick

    A snifter

    Anyone got any ideas?

    It's where she keeps the real evidence about Diana's 'accident'. Can't let it out of her sight.

    My wife bought me some new pants. On the packaging is the obligatory photo of a bloke who wastes his life away at the gym modelling the pants with a sock shoved down the front a la David Beckham. There's a disclaimer that says 'photo respresents fit only'. I suppose it's better than saying 'contents may not live up to expectations'. :/

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Are we talking handbag or rucksack ? ;)
    ''A Launer London Traviata handbag which is handmade at a factory in Walsall and costs around £1,800.''

    I imagine she got it in the black friday sales and saved a few quid though.

    I like the handbag contents ideas! 

    I think:

    Spare gloves,
    Hankerchief,
    Dog treats,
    Rennies,
    Pepper spray,
    Swiss Army Knife,
    Tax return form,
    Key to the dungeon,
    Whopee cushion...

    Whoopee cushion. Essential. Think of all of the dodgy coves she has been obligated to entertain over the years. You need something to make it tolerable.

    Mustn't forget a mirror to go with the lippy in the handbag, could also be used to keep an eye on Andrew.

    Look at you lot having fun on the grumping thread!!!

    I think she'd prefer a telescope so she can keep her distance from the slime.  Reading glasses, hankies, polo mints for horses tho I knew one that preferred extra strong mints.   A "get me out of here" pager/mobile phone.

    I read somewhere she uses her bag for secret signals - like ‘I need to leave’ etc. 

    Quickly back to having a grump - one of my (many) pet hates is people who visit and put their handbag on my kitchen worktop etc. Germs people!
