Queen Elizabeth, What's In There?

POSTED: Wednesday, May 25, 2011, 1:45 PM

For years, I've wondered. So I'm asking you, oh sage readers of Blinq, to tell me what you think.

What the heck is in Queen Elizabeth's pocketbook?

You would think she'd have a staff of minions to carry her unmentionables, but it's clear the Queen would rather be caught drunk in the club than without her purse. Yesterday, there she was again with President Obama, her little silver constant dangling from her wrist.

Makes you wonder what royalty can't do without, doesn't it?

Any guesses?

Okay, I'll bite:

A) Daytime royal handbag essentials: Fifth of whiskey, watermelon flavored Bonnie Bell lipsmackers, monogrammed handkerchief ("Queenie" in script), snack pack of Pringles, grocery list.

B) Nighttime essentials: Taser, MAC "Russian Red" lipstick, Blackberry with bejeweled Hello Kitty cover, two bottles of tiny wine, monogrammed hankie ("Hot Stuff" in caps), spare palace key in case she gets separated from her posse.

Very nice Monica! This must be her "dress-up" version, reserved for International Affairs of State - much fancier than the model we usually see - she didn't even up-grade for Will's wedding. Think we'll ever see her with a Judith Leiber clutch?

I wish I understood this. This must be secret girl stuff. (dan)

Not so much secret girl stuff, just something silly about a Queen (excuse me, "The" Queen of England), carrying this, her own purse, everywhere she goes - indeed, she is never shown without it. Kind of like the King running around with a briefcase! This is not the first time I've heard speculation on what "the purse" contains, but Monica could be right - guess we'll never know, unless some disgruntled employee from the palace decides to spill the beans.
