This is why the Queen of England always carries a handbag
Have you ever wondered by any chance why the Queen of England, Elizabeth II, always wears a handbag whenever she appears?
According to royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith, the Queen always carries a mirror, lipstick, pen, mints and glasses to read in her purse. On Sundays, she also carries a few tickets to donate to the church.
But in reality, most of the time Her Majesty uses her bag to signal her staff when she wants to leave a social event. For example :
If during a conversation, the queen puts her bag in the other hand, it means that she is ready to end it. You won't even realize it, because his staff will do it in a very subtle way. For example, someone will approach her and say to her: "Your Majesty, the Archbishop of Canterbury would like to greet you".
If the queen puts the bag on the table during a meal, it means that she wants the event to end within five minutes.
By putting her bag on the floor, Her Majesty shows that she does not find the conversation pleasant, and that she needs "to be saved" by one of her companions.
The most important thing is when she turns her ring. This means that the staff must come and rescue her immediately.
Hopefully, if you are lucky enough to get an audience with the Queen of England, Her Majesty will be happy and will not want to end your meeting as soon as possible with the most delicate gesture.
