Queen Camilla 'looking absolutely to die for' in pink during military visit in Aldershot

Queen Elizabeth was a fan of small black handbags from fashion brand Launer and it is believed she owned more than 200, her favourite ones being the Royale and the Traviata.

Since she became Queen, Camilla has been channelling the late Queen Elizabeth in many outings by wearing her iconic handbag.

It is believed that the late monarch used her handbags to communicate messages to her staff and it is possible that Camilla now follows the same practice.

Royal historian Hugo Vickers revealed that when Queen Elizabeth moved her handbag from one hand to the other it meant that she wanted to end a conversation.
