The Queen is also known to carry reading glasses, a pen, lipstick, tissues and even a personal pack of blood.
The health of the monarch is of utmost importance and if the Queen is visiting a country where a reliable blood supply is questionable, then a pack of her own blood will be included, always following in their convoy.
This is in case a blood transfusion should be necessary without Queen Elizabeth’s health being jeopardised.
Emergencies will be responded to right away as the Queen’s doctor is always nearby when she travels.
