- <p> Where Queen Elizabeth II goes, so goes her pocketbook.
- Surely Britain's monarch doesn't need one for spare change or
- credit cards. An address book perhaps? Or photos of the family?
- For anyone curious about the sovereign's ubiquitous purse,
- Raymond Fullager thinks he has the answer. Fullager, who writes
- and lectures about the royals, claims that Her Majesty uses it
- to send signals--some 20 of them--to her staff. When she
- moves it from her right arm to the left, for example, it
- indicates that she's bored stiff and wants to be rescued. Read
- my handbag.
