What on earth does she carry in those awful purses? Car keys? Mad money? Credit cards? Cell phone?

I was so lucky! I happened to be in London on her 80th birthday. It was announced that she was doing a "walk about" outside of Windsor Castle. So I took the train from Paddington and got there 2 and a half hours early. I had interesting chats with a British family and an ABC cameraman and his correspondent (can't remember the guy's name), but since we both worked in TV, we had something in common.I got a very good place to stand. She and Prince Phillip came out together and he went to the other side of the crowd and the Queen on our side. Talk about luck! She came up to about 6 feet from me. I got some pics of her husband too, but not as good as this one. I think she carries cigars in her purse Bobbie.
