a puck in a purse

Okay. So the Queen dropped a puck at a hockey game in Vancouver. In the photos, she's carrying her purse. Why does the Queen need a purse? Does she have a driver's license? Could she possibly need a passport? Is it for the keys to her palaces? It can't be for kleenex - I'm sure she'd use a handkerchief and would likely store it in her sleeve like most women her age. So why the purse? Lipstick?
