There’s no denying Kate Middleton is always the image of primped, proper and poised.
Even with her every step being documented, lamented and captured by thousands of royal fans the world over, the Duchess is never a hair out of place.
So what’s her secret, you ask? The answer, it seems, is hidden in her handbag.
In fact, the bag (or bags, because Kate certainly has plenty to choose from in her personal collection) hold only four items according to a new book Kate: A Biography by Marcia Moody. So what are they? Read on to find out:

First on the list is a compact mirror – fair, we all like to double check our lipstick hasn’t smudged after demolishing a smashed avocado out with friends.
Her next item is a handkerchief, again very practical in case of a runny nose emergency – either involving her or one of her adorable little tykes.
Next up is lip balm – and we can’t blame her. The feeling of chapped lips on a windy day is nothing less than torture. We’re surprised that there’s no lipstick in there!
The Duchess always has blotting paper on hand, and while this one is probably not as commonly used among non-royals, it makes perfect sense for Kate to use the product given a shiny forehead stands out loud and clear in photographs, and she’s certainly not shy of featuring in many of those.
There’s another accessory Duchess Catherine dons on a regular basis, although it’s not quite as glamorous as you’d think – bandages. There could be a number of reasons as to why Kate’s fingers are donned with plasters. One could be because of her three children, who might tend to get a little too excited when playing with their glamorous mum.
A small comb are likely staples in every bag she carries, even though she has never been seen primping in public. But her gorgeous blowouts are undoubtedly the Duchess’s crowning glory so it makes sense that she would need something to keep those luscious locks in place.
It’s possible that the Duchess would carry a small amount of cash on her just in case. When officially opening the EACH store in Holt last year, the Duchess did some shopping and there weren’t any aides on hand to pass her the money she needed to pay for the hat and books she picked up on her little spree.
On her off days with her kids, Catherine prefers to switch to a tote so she can carry more things. These totes double as toy chests for her family! The Duchess of Cambridge was seen rocking the white tote at husband Prince William’s polo match back in June, and she was pulling toys and snacks out of it for Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
