The Queen is almost always seen in a new outfit. Despite the royal budget for clothing weighing in at around $2 million for the family each year, Queen Elizabeth might not actually have a big closet at all. Or, at least, she’s not a big fan of accessories.
“There is the myth that she has over 200 handbags when in reality she probably has only about two or three styles in a few neutral colours,” Bethan Holt tells Express UK. Imagine for a moment walking into the Queen’s castle — literally — and seeing only three neutral-colored handbags sitting on her dresser. That might be the most posh thing we’ve ever heard, and somehow more impressive than the myth that she has over 200.
If you’re wondering why in the world Her Majesty would need to carry a handbag at all, you’re not alone.
