Okay, so if the Queen doesn't carry money on her person, what does she keep in her handbag? Front door key for Buck House?

Minimum, a recent book entitled "What's In The Queen's Handbag: And Other Royal Secrets" by Phil Dampier and Ashley Walton reveals that, though the monarch doesn't carry cash, keys or a passport - since she doesn't own one - her bag is far from empty. Inside is a collection of good luck charms given to her by her children, including miniature dogs, horses and saddles, plus family snaps, the most treasured of which is a photo of Prince Andrew on his safe return from the Falklands in 1982. Also inside is a make-up case, given to her by Prince Philip as a wedding gift 60 years ago. It also houses an s-shaped metal meat hook which she places on the edge of the dinner table, from which to suspend her handbag, keeping it off the floor.

Whats in the queens bag is that not a sunday afternoon question or could be an alternative pub conversation.
Or instead of pub quiz this weekend you could have a Mock The Week style question and answer session.

Q. Things you are not likely to find in the queens handbag.

A.Copy of letter of sympathy to the 800.000 dead Iraqis

A.Ripped off stub of the cheque that was sent to the men and women that lost their jobs during Miners strike

Crikey - it's getting a bit heavy! It looks like she now needs to find a bit more space for a passport. I suppose there's more than one use for the meat hook.
