There is still something mysterious about royals to this day, including the otherwise so approachable Duchess Catherine. What do royals carry in their handbags? However, Kate accidentally raised that question during her trip to Glasgow.
What exciting things could royals have hidden in their bag? Many people have certainly asked themselves this question. It is a question that is difficult to answer because, as is so often the case, the British royals in particular hardly allow any insight into the private lives of their family members. At public appointments, Queen Elizabeth usually appears with small to medium-sized handbags that are always closed. Duchess Catherine also prefers small handbags for appointments, a particularly beautiful model is her burgundy-colored Chanel handbag with a patterned enamel handle. Images of the way she opens them do not exist.
Duchess Catherine: She shows the surprising contents of her bag
For Kate’s trip to Glasgow for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), a small handbag is not enough, which is why she falls back on a classic business model. In a picture that the Twitter page of the railway company Network Rail posted, it is noticeable that the bulging tote bag from Smythson, which Duchess Catherine is carrying in her right hand, can no longer be closed and fans have a glimpse of it the surprising content granted.
It seems that Prince William’s wife has prepared for the upcoming appointments on the train, because a folder and a slim laptop can be seen in her handbag. According to the book “Kate: A Biography”, the Duchess should always carry four things in her handbag: a small make-up mirror, blotting paper for the face so that it doesn’t shine, a handkerchief and lip balm.

Queen Elizabeth: She’s got that in her pocket
But not only with Kate the secret of the bag has already been revealed, Queen Elizabeth’s handbag contents are already known. Just like Duchess Catherine, the Queen always has a hand mirror and lipstick with her, with which she can trace her lips after every meal. There is also a perfectly folded five or ten pound note for the collection, reading glasses, mint drops and a pen in her pocket – at least that is what Sally Bedell Smith, author of the book “Elizabeth the Queen: The Woman Behind The Throne” claims. .
