Her spare tiara. She has servants to carry stuff for her. The purse is just for decorations.

I cannot really recall when or where I have read this article regarding what Queen Elizabeth carries in her purse, I believe it went on to state that it contains nothing. She only carries a purse as only an accesory to match her outfit. She always carries her gloves in her hands, she doesn't need cash since everything is provided for her, she doesn't need any comestic items since there is probably an on duty makeup artist and hairstylist.

Per a Lady in Waiting to the Queen a Handkerchief and 4 pounds Sterling for the collection plate at St Georges Chapel at Windsor who won't take her word or check for the Collection Plate.

I read it in Majesty the Queens Biography.

Her Majesty does use her handbag as a security blanket. She carries it with her throughout the day as she moves from one room of the palace to another. She is rarely photographed without a handbag. All tables and her desk at Buckingham Palace and other royal residences are equipped with special hooks on which the Queen may hang her ubiquitous handbag. Finally, the Queen never uses a shoulder bag or clutch bag as these make shaking hands and accepting flowers awkward. It's not only what's inside the monarch's bags that is significant, but the bag itself, for she uses it to communicate with her staff in a very subtle manner. Before dining with the Queen, a point is made to inform guests that dinner will end in about five minutes after she places her bag on the table top. On walkabouts, she holds the bag to one side to show she intends to move on, at which point a lady-in-waiting joins the conversation, allowing her to slip away without causing offence. When at a banquet, if the Queen's bag is placed on the floor, then it's a sign that she's not finding the conversation interesting, and wants nothing more than to escape. However, if the royal bag is dangling happily from the crook of her left arm, she is happy and relaxed. The Queen carries a comb, a handkerchief, a small gold compact, and a tube of lipstick in her handbag. The Queen does carry money on Sundays--a folded note of unknown denomination which she discreetly places in the collection plate. One thing that can always be found in the Queen's handbags is an S-shaped metal meat hook that she places on the dinner table's edge to suspend her bag from so that it doesn't touch the floor. Also to be found inside is a collection of good luck charms, including miniature dogs, horses, saddles and horsewhips - most of them gifts from her children, reports the Daily Express. Family photos are also present, the most treasured of which is a snap of Prince Andrew, from when he returned from the Falklands in 1982. Other things that the Queen never goes without are her mints, chocolate drops for her beloved corgis and a couple of crosswords, which her servants snip out of the papers for her. Also ever present is the metal make-up case, made by Prince Philip and presented to her as a wedding gift 60 years ago. And if there's still room in the bag she happens to be carrying, the Queen slips in a camera to take snaps to add to her private

Apparently, the Queen is the proud owner of a six-gigabyte, silver model i-Pod, purchased for 169 pounds (or $400.05), which might have recently joined those reading glasses she needs and perhaps a handkerchief in her omnipresent purse. Otherwise, she moves her handbag to signal her ladies-in-waiting, so they can rescue her from boorish conversations.

A comb, a handkerchief, a small gold compact and a tube of lipstick. No money, except on Sundays, when she carries a little folding money to put in the plate as it's passed around during church.

She also uses the purse as a discreet signal to her entourage -- when she shifts it to a certain position (one arm to another), it's a signal that she'd like to move on, away from whomever she's talking to. That's when they jump into action, "Pardon me, Your Majesty, we're falling behind schedule." or "Lord So-and-So is waiting to see you, M'am." So if you see the purse shifting around, you're boring her. :-)
