Queen Elizabeth's birthday party

I'm watching the news. Why is Queen Elizabeth carrying her purse? Doesn't she have people to do that for her?

2. I've heard rumors that she uses the purse to signal her staff

Switching it to the other arm indicates, "help, get me out of here! This guy just won't stop talking!".

Another possibility is that it contains treats for her pet corgis.
