Queen Elizabeth’s Secret Purse Messages

Queen Elizabeth II was truly one-of-a-kind, ruling the UK for decades and always turning heads with her style.

Her Majesty had an amazing trick up her sleeve: she used her stylish handbags to secretly signal her staff if she wanted to leave a chat or event. Like, how cool is that?

Imagine this: the queen shifting her purse from one hand to the other meant she was done talking. If she placed it on a table, it was like saying, “Alright, let’s wrap this up in five minutes.” And if things got super awkward or boring, she’d twist her wedding ring to show she needed to escape ASAP.

Sometimes, I think we all need a secret signal like that.

Her favorite bags came from Launer London. In fact, people say she’d even take them with her just to relax on the sofa and watch TV! It’s like having a comfort blanket but way more fashionable.

She wasn’t alone in using these tricks. Kate Middleton might be following suit by clutching her handbag with both hands at events when she wants to avoid shaking hands. It’s said that holding something gives an excuse not to extend your hand all day long! 🤝
