We would never have guessed this.
We’ve always wondered what’s hidden inside the royals’ handbags and clutches. On a wild guess, we would think of a roll of peppermint, a pack of tissues or a lipstick for the final touch-ups, but Zara Tindall once revealed that Princess Anne carries something completely different.

Princess Anne, the only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth, is one of the most hardworking royals. Although she is already past retirement age at 73, her royal agenda is still full of appointments.

Anne’s eating habits
Princess Anne’s special eating habits often raise eyebrows. For example, Her Royal Frugality would have breakfast with overripe bananas. You know, those almost black ones. They are easier to digest and you also prevent food waste.
In addition, the princess would always treat her guests to a fairly modest dinner: canned meat with boiled potatoes and peas. “After all, you want everyone to be out of your house at a quarter past nine,” Princess Anne previously explained. “For dessert I give my guests a chocolate ice cream that they can eat in the car.” Here’s a Magnum, let’s move on!
